Our Story
Aurora Studios was founded in 2010 by seasoned photographer, Eleanor Vance, with a vision to provide exceptional photography services to the Portland community. Eleanor, a Portland native, recognized a need for a studio that not only delivered technically brilliant images but also prioritized the client experience, ensuring every session was comfortable, enjoyable, and tailored to their individual needs. Starting as a small studio in the heart of downtown Portland, Aurora Studios quickly gained a reputation for its artistic approach, technical expertise, and unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction.
Over the years, Aurora Studios has grown into a team of dedicated photographers, each specializing in different areas of photography, from portraiture and wedding photography to commercial and event coverage. Despite our growth, we've remained true to our core values: creativity, quality, and customer service. We believe that every photograph tells a story, and we're passionate about helping our clients capture their most precious moments in stunning, timeless images. Our commitment to excellence has earned us numerous awards and accolades, solidifying our position as one of Portland's premier photography studios. We are deeply rooted in the Portland community and actively participate in local events and initiatives, further strengthening our connection to the people we serve.
We are committed to using sustainable practices in our studio operations, minimizing our environmental impact. From eco-friendly printing options to energy-efficient equipment, we strive to operate responsibly and ethically. As we look to the future, we remain dedicated to providing innovative and exceptional photography services, adapting to the ever-changing landscape of the industry while staying true to our original vision.
