Choosing a photographer for our wedding was one of the most important decisions and we are so glad…read morewe chose Race and Jess of Outlive Creative. There are not enough nice words to say about Race and Jess and how fantastic these pair are as wedding photographer/videographer. From the very first contact, they were prompt in responding, patient, understanding and accommodating. Nothing was a problem and they were just a pleasure to deal with from beginning to end. We also want to mention how lovely these two were on the day itself. They were calm, happy and genuinely interested in the two of us and our friends and families. They also stayed beyond their scheduled time in order to capture all the different aspects of the day which was so kind. When Race messaged me that the video would be ready soon, we got so excited (and also because it was sent the day before Dustin's birthday). Dustin and I watched it together and just cried because of how it was beautifully made. It was perfect! Every one who's seen it said nothing but praises and how it also made them cry. Our photographs are absolutely spectacular and no matter how times we have looked at them since, we always comment on how lucky we were to have Race and Jess. Thank you so much for all your help in making our wedding day absolutely perfect and in doing an amazing job at capturing all the very best moments of the day! You guys are truly the best! Proud to have talented cousins!We love you guys!!!

I met Craig Brubaker at several business networking events in Beaverton. He is the photographer for…read morethe Beaverton Chamber of Commerce, and I was also very impressed by the family portraits that came from his studio. When it came time to get photos taken for my marketing materials, Brubaker Photography was at the top of my list. Craig asked me what I wanted, suggested some locations, we scheduled an appointment, and I met him and his wife and assistant Sharon Brubaker. I was prepared, because he'd suggested what to bring with me. He paid extra attention to the qualities I told him were important to me. In about an hour, he was done, and from that brief time, Brubaker Photography me 26 photos to choose from, and ALL of them were stunning. When I showed them to another photographer friend, he praised the work, saying that the kind of quality Craig produces is exceedingly rare. Craig and Sharon, THANK YOU. You are wonderful professionals. I would encourage any business professional in Beaverton or Hillsboro (or anywhere, really) to have their photos done by Brubaker Photography. Of course, they do family photos, too!

"I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy!" Dropping to my knees in pure wonderment, bowing in her direction…read morerepeatedly. Am I being dramatic, you ask? More like underselling! There truly aren't words that I could convey to describe the magic Sarah creates behind the lens, but humor me as I attempt. Living in California, I'm used to overpaying for mediocre everything. This is typically the name of the game. The thought of spending $8,000 for a photographer I wasn't crazy about was keeping me up at night; but unfortunately was our reality. It never occurred to me to reach outside of our overpriced-California-bubble, until a good friend was researching for her own Wedding. At first I thought she was nuts, considering photographers in Hawai'i, Washington, Arizona, Oregon; and initially wrote off her notion. Enter, Sarah Willey. Upon the first "check this photographer out" text, I was hooked. It was a done deal in my head, but still I grappled with the idea of travel costs, distance, unfamiliarity with the area, etc. etc. etc. Upon my first contact and phone conversation with Sarah, all those concerns melted away. She was immediately my favorite person. She was down to earth, bubbly, funny, professional, and her price packages were unbeatable. Too good to be true? It wasn't. She was everything and more. And she delivered. This is where my words turn into head nods, shoulder shrugs, teary eyes, and hand claps. In other words, THERE ARE NO WORDS. What she captured on our Wedding day, is purely indescribable magic. I don't know how she did it. Each photo encapsulated the raw emotion we felt in each moment, from our first look, to our vows, to the food, decor, dance floor, everything was perfectly captured in a forever keepsake. Memories in the form of photos. But not just any photos; beautiful, rich, enchanting photos. I feel forever in her debt for producing the most priceless time-capsule souvenirs of the best day of our lives. Sarah was the best Wedding decision we made and we will be forever grateful.

Sarah is simply the best! She will make you feel so at ease while she rocks it behind the camera…read more We've had her take photos every year of my son on his birthday and have already planned to do it again this year. I cannot wait! She is worth every penny. Oh! And she gets back the edited photos in lightning speed and gives you the digital files. I personally dislike when photographers require you to buy prints through them exclusively and Sarah is not one of those photographers. I even asked her once where she recommended getting my files printed and she said Costco. Perfect! Ha! Seriously, why are you still reading? Go book her before someone else does.

First…read moreof all, I came down with mastitis the day of our family photos and had to call Lelia to let her know. She was beyond understanding and rescheduled it for us no problem. Then she reached out to us to reschedule it TWICE because the weather was looking gray and she wanted us to have clear sunny skies for our photoshoot. Seriously, who is that caring?? She even lent me a dress to wear, brought us water bottles, and provided props for our baby. We are in love with our sunset family pictures! We also took our baby's sitting up milestone session in her home studio. Again, she provided beautiful clothes, accessories, and props for our photoshoot. I thought I was going to have to stand behind the camera to get my baby to smile but Lelia took charge! She has so many tricks to get your baby to look up and smile. My baby even belly laughed! We were so comfortable in her studio and it really shines through in our pictures. We received prints in the mail and were shocked at how beautifully everything was wrapped and packaged. Lelia has such a great artistic eye and attention to detail. Cadeau photography is 100% worth your investment!

This experience with Lumalia was transformative in ways I can't begin to explain…read more Before attending Blooming Caverns (the camellia-themed women's retreat), I felt very disconnected from my body and craved deeper friendships with more women. I believed that friendships take a very long time to deepen but during the retreat, it didn't take much time to realize that wasn't true. I felt connected to the other women I met there in a way more profound way than I've experienced before, thanks to Lumalia's guidance through somatic movement, guided meditation, and intention setting, letting my body flow and express while being witnessed and mirrored by another beautiful soul. I felt truly seen and like I was seeing the person in front of me in all her beauty: joy, sadness, longing, contentment, anger, curiosity, hope. All emotions were welcome. Lumalia's poetic guidance led me through an array of emotions I was able to express through free movement while being energetically held by the woman in front of me as well as collectively by the group and Lumalia. After the somatic movement part, we had a photoshoot where Lumalia captured us individually as well as interacting with each other with similar prompts to what we'd been doing during the movement practice, which made it INCREDIBLY comfortable to be in front of the camera. I can say this with zero hesitation: I've never been more comfortable in front of a camera than during this retreat. I'm usually shy and awkward and don't know how to pose so I end up making silly faces, but the purpose of these photos isn't to look any specific way but to embody the feelings we were working through, reclaiming our power as women and letting go of the good girl template society has programmed most of us with. The photography part is an amazing complement to the work we did during that evening and one of the aspects that make Lumalia's retreats unique. I left the retreat feeling so supported, so connected, so powerful, so calm, and at peace. The even cooler part for me was that in the days after the retreat, I was able to still tap into some of the feelings we explored during the retreat and bring them back into my body to overcome a specific blockage I was experiencing in my relationship. Very powerful stuff! I'd recommend this experience to any woman living in Oregon who's looking to get back in touch with her body, her power and could use some support in her self-love and self-acceptance journey.
