Portrait Photography By Colleen Martinelli
Hello! My name is Colleen Martinelli. I’m a Portland, Oregon based portrait photographer.
As a photographer, I’m a lover of genuine moments, connections, and smiles! I love doing photography because it gives me the privilege to capture beautiful memories. It’s so fun for me to be able to be creative and meet new people through my work. I’m a very enthusiastic photographer and I’d love to work with you, we’ll have a great time!
“I had the absolute best time shooting with Colleen! She is the sweetest and lighthearted person; so you know it doesn’t get awkward during the session! She was very prepared and knew what my angles were. She was very accommodating to what I was comfortable with and was very open to trying different backdrops/backgrounds. It’s always a blast shooting with Colleen and I highly recommend her!”

“Colleen is an excellent photographer! As someone who is quite camera shy, Colleen is there to not only reassure you, but direct you throughout the shoot. Her kindness and positive energy creates the most comfortable environment for everyone to simply forget their fears or insecurities and enjoy the moment!”
— Vicky Ho
“Colleen’s work and professionalism was amazing. I worked with her on two photoshoots, both came out as works of pure art. I will never forget the rustic old school style video she sent of me and my girlfriend together, without asking. It shows the extra mile she went to in order to give me the best experience.”
— Steven Shreckengaust
“Working with Colleen at my grad photo shoot was so much fun!! She gave suggestions for outfits and props to bring and was open to any suggestions my friends and I had. We shot at multiple locations around my high school and got a wide variety of group and individual shots. She put a lot of thought into our shoot and made it a really fun and memorable experience. It was a great way to end my senior year🎓”
— Courtney Jenkins
“Colleen is a dream to work with. She is flexible and accommodating. She comes prepared with props (where applicable) and ideas for locations and poses. She is willing to try whatever the patron has in mind too. She is thorough and timely in her product. We had her do our daughter’s graduation photos and she captured so many lovely shots. We also had her do photos for our 8-year old son’s baptism and they turned out adorable. I’d whole-heartedly recommend Colleen as a photographer with lots of great skill and more to come!”
— Emily Thomas, Mother of Haddie and Hayden Thomas
“Professional. Talented. Fun. I am beyond happy with Colleen as a photographer and the amazing pictures she took. I can't recommend her enough.”
— Isaac Sten
“I have worked with Colleen two times now and both times were great! She is so accommodating and easy to work with and comes prepared. I were to give one suggestion to those working with her, it would be to make sure to communicate what you want her to do because like I said earlier, she is so accommodating and will work with you to get what you want.”
— Haddie Thomas
“Colleen is not only a fantastic photographer but also has a bright personality the lights up the room! My whole experience with her was fun while being professional. She positioned me in multiple ways and encouraged me to come out of my comfort zone while doing these beautiful poses! I always love working with her whether that be me modeling for Colleen or me being behind the camera. A great friend but also a fantastic photographer.”
— Shelby Ochoa
Whether it’s family photos or a graduation, I want to capture the moment! I photograph a wide range of portraits. This includes senior portraits, family portraits, graduation and other event portraits, baptisms, headshots, and even pets!

Be Yourself!
Feel free to be goofy and let your personality shine! When you shoot with me you can totally express yourself. It’s all about feeling comfortable and having fun! But if you don’t know how to pose or act in front of the camera, I got you! That’s what I’m here for. I’ve got plenty of poses up my sleeve. It’ll be fun! If you want to bring a fun prop that expresses you and your interests, go for it. I’d love to see it!
