Sandy Sahagian Portraiture

Sandy was a wonderful blessing for my wedding.... she made the experience such a joyful time, it was just another great memory for me and my husband. She spent the time to get us exactually what we wanted and went above that and got some wonderful shots that I would have never thought of. She was upfront with the package price and what the cost would be for any changes. I would recommend her to anyone.... :-)

We were introduced to Sandy's work more than five years ago when my daughter received a coupon for a free portrait from her orthodontist. We have been using her services ever since. She took the high school grad portraits for all three of my children, each experience was a delight. She had patience with the kids and made them comfortable in front of the camera. The results were excellent, all our family and fiends loved the portraits. I even had Sandy do some executive portraits for me for work. We plan to use her services again for our next celebration.

Pros: Professional service, quality results

If you are looking for a talented, fun and professional photographer the search is over! In our initial meeting Sandy went over every aspect from what to wear, to the type of poses that would be most flattering, pricing, etc. I loved that she was so detail oriented upfront because it meant I knew exactly what to expect for the shoot. The day of the shoot ran so smoothly, she was professional but incredibly fun. She had me laughing and I was thoroughly enjoying myself. The pictures turned out amazing and with her skills of retouching I have never looked so good. Thank you Sandy, you have real talent!

Sandy's portraiture work is amazing. She took photos for my business cards and brochures. I get so many client compliments about the beautiful professional quality of her pictures on my cards and brochures. I highly recommend Sandy Sahagian Portraiture for both personal and business related photography.

Our family has used Sandy for photography for a 50th Wedding celebration, Two Senior portraits, a professional Business photo, and each time, we were very, very pleased with Sandy's results. she was easy to work with, went over all the pricing, options, anything you can think of, before any of the sessions began.

My friends comment on the photo's that are displayed at my house "Where did you find her?" I highly recommend using Sandy for your photos.

---Like every hard working parent out there, we just don't have enough
time to do the things that we love to do for our children. Sandy not
only took great care of my daughters graduation pictures, but she also
took special care of me! Being a professional photographer she KNOWS
how to make the most out of your time. From the moment you arrive, she
is on task and doing her absolute best to move things along and the
bonus is getting those awesome shots! We had zero reschedules dates,
which means a lot to me. After viewing the proofs, I just couldn't
believe the quality in what she was showing us. This kind of quality is
getting less and less because everyone who owns a camera is believing
they know how to take great pictures, sadly this is not true when you
compare them to Sandy's photos. Capturing my family in pictures that we
will enjoy for generations is worth having them done by the best. I
believe Bob Hope used to sing, "Thanks for the Memories"--Sandy, we feel
that song perfectly fits you!

Pros: worth your hard earned dollar

Sandy is the best photographer I have worked with. I found her to do my wedding and the pictures were AMAZING. I even went back to her for my daughters Senior pictures. Sandy is so great to work with, she has such a bubbly personality. I will definitely go back!

Pros: Amazing quality on the finished product.

Cons: Proffesional Prices

Sandy has taken wonderful pictures for my family.
She took both senior pictures of my son and daughter and has also taken a family portrait. Sandy went above and beyond in her services to locate several wonder sites for all the photo shoots.
Sandy has an eye for detail and excellent photography skills. Her price point for all photos is very reasonable and is lower than most shops in town.
I would highly recommend Sandy Sahagian!!

I hadn't had a real family portrait done for many years, but Sandy knew exactly the type of setting that would work for all of us. She selected the colors of clothing that would work best and picked the most wonderful spot. We took countless pictures to make sure we had a lot to choose from. It was a fantastic experience.
Sandy and her husband knew what they were doing because the portraits turned out so wonderful. I ended up purchasing the picture of my son they took to get the light right! Wow!

My Husband and I went to Sandy for our engagement photos. Not only did her and her husband drive all the way out to the coast for the shoot for free, but they couldn't have been more accommodating.
The weather in Portland can be so unpredictable and we both have tight schedules, but that didn't both Sandy at all. She rescheduled us three times without one complaint.
We received all of the pictures she took and she made us personnel pictures for each of our parents to give to them on our wedding day (also free of charge).
In my opinion you get what you pay for, and Sandy was a little more expensive than some, but we will never go to anyone else for our pictures.
I recommend her highly.

Pros: Beautiful Pictures

Let me start off by saying I am not a model...I needed Professional photography done for my Real Estate business. Sandy was SO professional, made me feel at ease and knew how to have me pose to get the most flattering shots. People have consistently commented on "who did your photography?" and I eagerly give out her name. She'll make you look good!

Sandy did the photo shoot for my daughters wedding. Sandy had great ideas, was very cooperative, showed real professionalism and was very fun. We not only loved the photos but loved her sweet personality. Sandy also worked within our budget. I would recommend her for your own photo experiences.

Pros: Very patient

Cons: None

We would not recommend Sandy based on her overpriced services and poor business practice. If you chose to use her, make sure that you get her fees upfront, and clarify what will be included in your photo package. We unfortunately did not and lost our $200 deposit when we decided not to use her. We were quoted an initial fee of $450 for a portrait, which she kept increasing later when we wanted to add a few family members to our photo session and to purchase a couple extra pictures. The end cost was unreasonably expensive? over $1,000 for a total of three pictures! We used Yuen Lui Studio instead, they were so much more reasonable, offered so much more, and did an EXCELLENT job.
