My name is Nina Sage, I'm a 46yr
old widowed mom. My hubby passed March of 2007 from Primary CNS
Lymphoma (he had multiple brain tumors). Caring for my full grown
"2yr old" hubby for months changed my outlook on life, this experience has
moved me to change my focus & give back. I have recently joined
NILMDTS (Now I Lay Me Down to
Sleep) which is an organization of volunteer photographers offering
remembrance photography to those facing the loss of an infant.
Along with the
above, I also proudly support Project Pooch
which pairs incarcerated youths with homeless shelter dogs. and
the Oregon Humane Society, If
you know of another worthy cause that needs a volunteer photographer,
please have them contact me, if the cause moves me, I will probably be
willing to help them too :)
I have been taking pictures since elementary
school, was the yearbook photographer for my high school, and took
photography in college. In 2003, I changed my status from serious
amateur to part time professional, and since my hubby's passing, I am now
a full time photographer, with 100% of my income coming from my
photography. Because this is my full time job, I guarantee you
excellent customer service, my reputation means everything to me.
You will find me to be up front & honest about everything concerning our
session. Before we begin a session, we will have discussed your
needs & vision, throughout your session, I will hand you my camera to view
our progress & to make sure we are capturing the images that you want.
After our session, your proofs will be put online, on your own private
webpage, for you to select the images you want edited. Once you make
your selections, I will email you web sized versions of your edited images
for your final inspection, before I send them off to print, so you are
involved in the full selection process of your package.
My daughter, Janelle has now joined Nina's
Photography as a full-time assistant photographer. She brings a
youthful perspective and her photojournalistic style is an excellent
pairing with Nina's traditional style. Janelle has 4 years
experience shooting weddings, dance competitions, dog shows & sports,
fashion shows & models. This summer, she will be applying her talent
to the senior portrait side of the business, doing a lot of the fun
location sessions.
Photography creates memories for a lifetime, we capture a
moment in time & every image is special. I take pride in my work,
prefer to create the image correctly rather than "fix it later", light is
my friend and there are many ways to use it to make the perfect portrait.
If I could only shoot kids & pets, I would, but in reality, they have
families, and families need pictures too, the kids grow up to be seniors,
they get married, have kids & the cycle continues, I want to be your
family photographer, for all your photography needs. I manage a
large (2000 sq ft) professional portrait studio 1/2 mile south of OMSI.
The studio has 3 separate studios within, including a natural light studio
and a fully furnished boudoir room or we
can shoot on location almost anywhere, I am fully portable, travel with a
professional assortment of lights, backdrops & props.
Thank you for visiting my website.
I hope to hear from you soon!
