Campbell Salgado Studio

Emily and Erik 

Wednesday, July 1st

This loving duo decided that they needed to let loose a little bit at the end of their photo session. We are always happy to capture the more true to life sibling interactions such as these! Thanks Emily and Erik!

Grace and Grant 

Friday, June 26th

Grant came into the studio last year when his little sis, Grace, was in their mama’s belly. We were thrilled to meet this little blue eyed gem, and to play in the garden with her and her big bro. They sure make a super sibling team. Can’t you tell by the way he squeezes her tight?

Spotlight on Business Portraits 

Thursday, June 25th

Our FREE business portrait event on June 17 was a smashing success. Ten hours of shooting and 40 lemon scones later…about 25 local entrepreneurs had spiffy new headshots to promote their businesses. Curious who stopped by? Check out our spotlight gallery of business portraits and local businesses. Shop Local!

Roger and Mika's beautiful family 

Wednesday, June 24th

We couldn’t help but put up another photo of this beautiful family! After the girls had finished their dancing lessons, mom and dad swooped them up for some close and intimate family photos. We love this shot and are pretty sure that Roger and Mika will too!

Maile and Ellie 

Tuesday, June 23rd

For an impromptu ballet lesson, these little darlings embraced their tutu’s and elegantly twirled for the camera. Big sister Ellie was quite a help to little Maile, while the middle sister, Annisa, was busy doing pirouettes somewhere else in the studio!

A family rooted in 'Sound' 

Tuesday, June 23rd

Our new-found musical friends from Sound Roots music school stopped in the studio for some family pictures. Little Miles couldn’t be more adorable as he requested the ABC song again and again.

We are looking forward to discovering more of the music offerings from visionaries Fara and Chris Heath. Our son Tamaio is ‘with the band’ later this Summer in their rock-n-roll band camp.

Introducing Original Portraits™-Light 

Monday, June 15th

Many families have been putting the portrait experiences they treasure on hold in recent times, and may be missing the opportunity to capture a few of their child’s gap-toothed grins in the process.

We’re sensitive to the prevailing concerns, and put our heads together to find a way to provide an abbreviated photo session at a lower price point. The light version of Original Portraits™ was born.

When we say light, we mean you don’t need your suitcase. We treat you right without clothing changes. In thirty minutes, principal photographers Kim Campbell or Francisco Salgado will turn a family portrait or a child’s first steps into a treasured image. In the review, you’ll see a limited but polished selection containing your 35 most precious images.

Through July 31st, we are running a $49 introductory promotion for these sessions (reg. $149).

Craig, Ellie, Brenna & Roni 

Monday, June 15th

This lovely family sashayed through our photo studio front door in style. Everyone was primped and smiling…I have to say photo sessions don’t come much easier than this.

Tweet Tweet - Twitter 

Monday, June 15th

The wood and plaster of Campbell Salgado Studio make four walls, but our virtual face has additional sides! We’re all over the web. From our own website to popular social networks facebook, linkedin and now to twitter, we’re riding the bandwagon.

Social media gives us additional opportunities to participate in conversation with you, but you’re welcome to peek at your leisure. We try to give you a different look behind the scenes in each; one of them may be just right for you. Try twitter. Follow us and we’ll follow you back.

Lucy 

Monday, June 15th

Lucy was on the move from the moment she stepped into our studio. It seems to run in the family as mom Shawn just finished a triathlon earlier in the morning! It was our delight to allow Lucy to show off her playful spirit in front of the camera.

Earth Friendly Thinking: Part II 

Monday, June 15th

In part two of our “green thinking” series, we unearth (pun intended) our conscientious efforts to preserve the property at our studio, and save energy.

In 2005, we built a lush outdoor portrait garden that we hoped would be as efficient as it was lovely. In the process, we learned a few things about conservation landscaping that could be helpful to you in your next landscaping project at home:

• To make room for shooting spaces and as an alternative to discarding or composting, we sought suitable places elsewhere in the yard in which to transplant shrubbery.
• We constructed a sturdy architectural feature from raw, antique wood left on the property.
• We found a small pile of bricks under the house, and repurposed them into a patio.
• We’ve set accent lighting around the garden to a schedule, using low-voltage electrical; ensuring the minimum amount of energy consumption in evening hours.
• All irrigation is achieved with efficient slow-drip delivery, coupled with a programmable valve timing system.

We also thought our efforts could expand to the simple ways that we use our facilities. During summer months, we encourage more extensive use of the outdoor studio to conserve power drawn from indoor studio lighting.

In the next edition of our earth-friendly thinking series, we’ll touch on more examples of how our thinking includes our process. Stay tuned…

Will, Wren, and Brooke 

Saturday, June 13th

It’s not everyday that we are able to capture images like this! All three of these kids had such wonderful personalities and also such beautiful tongues! A lovely outdoor portrait, don’t you think?

Baby Tyler 

Wednesday, June 10th

We have often said that babies in hats are almost too cute to handle, and this little guy was no different! And although all he wanted to do was sleep, we are sure that Tyler’s mom and dad will be so happy that we woke him up for this!

Oliver 

Wednesday, June 10th

For his last Baby’s Club photo session, this mom wanted to make sure and capture Oliver while he was on the move. We think we managed to do so here, and we also just can’t get enough of that classic Oliver grin!

The Rockstar 

Wednesday, June 10th

This little guy had all the right moves during his photo session! While taking a break from jamming on the guitar, Oliver kindly showed off some of his dance moves – with a dinosaur in hand, of course.

CeCe and Barbara 

Wednesday, June 10th

This mother-daughter duo was so much fun to photograph! In between laughing fits and rolling their eyes at dad and brother, they were working their moves for the camera!

The Magical Myrsell's 

Tuesday, June 9th

Kim is always thrilled to see a Vignettes session on the calendar as it means not only stepping outside the studio but also creating an intimate picture of a family at home.

The Myrsell’s have been photographed by Francisco over the years and this was Kim’s turn to turn the camera onto their fun and artistic lifestyle. Chasing ducks, cuddling with Grandma, playing music, jumping on the bed and hopping into the family’s 1940 hearse…you’d think anything was possible. That is likely the message Mom and Dad want to send to their three magical kids…ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

Jay & Sherron 

Tuesday, June 9th

These expectant parents wanted something very unique to express the love and anticipation they feel for their soon-to-arrive daughter. We think a heart made of hands and hand-picked roses from their very own garden fits the bill!

Considering...baby Henry 

Tuesday, June 9th

Little Mieke looks to be giving some thought to the exciting changes ahead.

While loving parents Kris and Stephanie are pretty sure Mieke thinks ‘baby Henry’ is the name for mama’s belly button!

Mindy, Luke & Hailey 

Tuesday, June 9th

How priceless is Mom’s expression as she is getting the smooch of her life from her twins Luke and Hailey. Their affection is in exuberant abundance!

I wanna hold your hand 

Friday, June 5th

We couldn’t resist the sweet intimacy of this photo – a mom and pop holding the precious little hand of their new baby, Matthew.

Ilene 

Wednesday, June 3rd

Ilene came in to celebrate a milestone birthday year…we won’t say which one but wouldn’t you agree that some beauties are just timeless? Friends and family will surely cherish these portraits of her. It reminds us that now is always a great time to savor.

This Little Monkey... 

Saturday, May 23rd

Drake came into the studio with all four generations in tow! Great-Grandma, Grandma and Mama were happy to monkey around with this little guy for some really adorable generational photos. One of his little primate friends belonged to his Grandma as a babe, and now he has a friend of his own to have with him for photos as he grows. We had a blast capturing this active little guy, and all of his happy mamas.

Michael's Moving Forward 

Thursday, May 21st

Mom and Dad are just so proud of Michael. He’s graduating in a couple of weeks from University of Washington and already has a job secured in the financial industry. Michael was a great sport to let us capture him one more time professionally. His mother Patrice rightly figured it will be a lot harder in the years ahead to catch him on film. Congratulations Michael!

Pearl 

Tuesday, May 19th

While visiting from LA, we had the distinct honor of photographing the lovely Pearl. With her beautiful hat and her striking smile, this was one photo session that we won’t soon forget. A special thank you to Pearl for letting us be a part of your time here in Portland!

Dana's pride and joy! 

Tuesday, May 19th

This lucky grandma was given a gift certificate to come and be photographed with two of her favorite girls, Hina and Hana. These two little ones have been long time clients with us, but this was the first time we have had the privilege of photographing them with their grandmother.

Hao, Andre, Cecily, and Dannika 

Tuesday, May 19th

For their one year birthdays, parents Hao and Cecily brought in their darling twins, Andre and Dannika This was the third time we have photographed this family, and somehow, it just keeps getting better and better! A special birthday wish to these two cuties!

'Street Yoga' Kids Find Power in Peace 

Wednesday, May 13th

A good friend and founder of Street Yoga, Mark Lilly, recently asked us to consider doing a series of portraits of the amazing and resilient kids who participate in ‘Street Yoga’. Without question…we were honored to be involved.

A little about Street Yoga ...the program gives youth and their caregivers the tools to overcome early life trauma, through the sharing of life-building mindfulness and wellness practices grounded in the ancient healing principles of yoga. We serve by helping them create a sense of true home in their own bodies, minds and communities.

We saw first hand how meaningful a gentle yoga practice can be to kids. To view a selection of the images Kim took visit the Street Yoga kids online gallery.
