We created new headshots for Carol on-site at the Benson Hotel in downtown Portland, Oregon using the strobe flash headshot photography style with the luxury and vintage look of the lobby and restaurant. We moved through 5-6 different outfits and locations of the hotel and used bounce cards and modifiers to add light and shadows to achieve this look.

“Erica is very professional and made me feel at ease during the shoot, which resulted in great photos. She had great suggestions along the way and took the time to get things right, encouraged me to change outfits – which made a huge difference – and was proactive with angles / coaching me on which way to move to get the best result. Highly recommend!”

Brittney H.

Creative Director, AUthor, Thunder Egg Collaborative

“I was in need of a headshot refresh as the 10 year old iPhone picture just was no longer cutting it. I found Erica Mitchell and am happy to say I would recommend her to anyone in search of professional headshot photography. Her wealth knowledge and the talent she possesses in immeasurable. She has a beautiful studio conveniently located that provided an abundance of natural light making the process all the better. I am actively referring her to anyone looking for this style of service.”

John B.

“Erica is an incredible photographer! I recently booked her for headshots needed for my career. I have never been a fan of having my picture taken, it has always felt uncomfortable and awkward. However, Erica was a wonderful coach, her energy made the entire process so easy and actually enjoyable. Not only do I love my final photos, but I have already received many compliments on them. You won’t regret booking with Erica.”

Solar Culture Discussion Panel Event Photography

After the conference on Day Three Solar Culture held a panel discussion with some of the experts and speakers in quantum and circadian biology from the 2-day conference held in El Salvador at Balancé Yoga & Surf.

The post-conference panel discussion featured creator of Solar Culture Kiera Lea, Dr. Sam Soete, Roudy Nassif, Dr. Sara Pugh, Dr. Olivia Lesslar, Sarah Doheny and Mikayla Sprung.

Attendees were able to ask these experts and speakers questions directly born out of the curiosity of the 2-day conference covering topics such as light as medicine, the relationship between light and biology and how our biology and our environment work together (and how it doesn’t).
