PORTLAND FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
I have a lot of fond memories of my mother growing up, but I have always wished I had more photos of her to help remember those special moments. My mom was always the one behind the camera taking the pictures or too self-conscious to be in front of the camera with us. (Maybe you too can relate?)
I will always long for those photos of her. That’s when I knew I wanted to create a legacy of family photos for my clients - to capture the real, raw, messy and authentic version of you and your whole family - moms included - so you can relive and cherish those memories for years to come.
I know you want to leave a legacy for your children. You don't want perfection, you want your real and unique bonds shown in your photos. > Read My Story

My whole family was relaxed.
“Jaime does such an amazing job! My whole family was relaxed and were really just playing on the beach!! The shots she captured were so beautiful and looked just like us! Highly recommend her for any occasion. Thank you Jaime!!!”

Very impressed with Jaime's professionalism and preparedness...
I was very impressed with Jaime’s professionalism and preparedness for our photo shoot. I was anxious about having my 6-month-old daughter out past her typical bed time for fear of a meltdown. However, the opposite took place. Jaime made it fun, and my daughter was entertained and enjoying herself the entire time!

Her innate ability to connect and capture my family was beautifully done.
Her images brought tears to my eyes and I can't wait to frame them. I love her style as an artist. She has a gorgeous gift for capturing our true beauty. My family pictures by Jaime Bugbee will be my all-time favorite! She captures details that I miss in our daily lives and I want to remember them by hanging them on my walls.
