Casting call: seeking a young girl in Portland, Oregon between the age 5 and 11 for a test shoot in our new studio space. Dress code – colorful, trendy, crew cuts style. This session may be used as headshots or just fun portraits to mark this time in your child’s life. A parent would be required to be present at the shoot, and sign a model release. Time is slightly negotiable, but my preference would be for a 4:00 session.
Please spread the word if you know someone who might be interested.
Email rachel@rachelhadiashar.com for more info or to sign up!

My favorite personal work is photographing entrepreneurs and artists. I am inspired and fired up with the enthusiasm, courage, and spunk I see in women business owners across the country. I’ll be photographing some local Portland writers and artists in upcoming months, and can not wait to share!

In the meantime, I am quite proud to share the news that a little picture of mine appeared in today’s copy of The Oregonian newspaper in an article written by Bridget Otto. I was excited when Trisha Guido asked me to do a quick headshot for her in her store, Relish… now that the image has been used publicly I am even more happy for her – and thankful I can now say my work has appeared in The Oregonian!
Thank you for sharing the experience, Trisha.

Her mom and dad bought the file for this image, and I hope they print it HUGE and put it up in the office. This is the kind of smile that would brighten up the most gloomy of days!

Boston trumpeter Fred Sienkiewicz hired me to do some artisan film portraits.
This is one he chose for publication.

These two just bought an old Victorian house on the coast of Rhode Island and have been fixing it up together. They love books, and laugh together constantly. Theirs is a true and wonderful relationship and I am so proud to have been commissioned to photograph Maria and Brendon when I was on the east coast last month.

I know Daniel from MIT. He is a genius. He brought a physicist’s brain to our small Boston photography group, and the awkward-yet-awesome directness of an engineer. I am really glad I got to know Daniel Nagaj when he lived in Cambridge, MA.
