Any business or fun information you want to share?
I am a real estate broker in the Portland area (mostly the SW side and suburbs). If you are moving this way, I’d be happy to help you!
And last, but certainly not least, what do you *love* about Daveen Photography?
My kids respond better to a photographer when I am not there saying ’smile… put your shirt down…. fold your hands…etc. Daveen is great w/my kids (who have a ton of energy) and I can roam around leaving her to capture the kids and I am not a distraction to them. She was truly able to capture them!
I’m not quite sure what happens to the post when I copy/paste the emails responses, but for the life of me, I can’t get spaces between the images! Anyway, THANKS, JILL for giving us a peek into your Holiday! It was a pleasure to work with you and your sweet kiddos!
