 Marcela is creative, goes above and beyond for her clients, and she cares A LOT! She delivers photos that are authentic, with her own moody twist. She puts a lot of thought into her locations, and always captures the personality of her subjects. I can not recommend this lovely lady enough.

Marcela did such a great job on my Brand photoshoot! I get so many compliments on the photos and people are always asking who my photographer was for the shoot. Marcela was not only easy to work with she is very creative and will help you get the perfect shot! On top of that Marcela was on time and very professional!

GOT QUESTIONS?

Shoot me a message through the contact form or email hola@mgpulido.co . Tell me what you’re looking for and when. Once we lock in a date, I’ll send over a contract and invoice to make it official.

Portland’s full of good spots: Laurelhurst Park, Peninsula Park, downtown streets, hidden corners with great light. I also shoot in-studio if you want something clean and minimal. We’ll pick a location that fits your vibe.

Join the club. Everyone feels that way at first. My job is to get you comfortable fast so you forget about the camera. I’ll direct you the whole time: you just exist, and I’ll catch the good stuff.

Welcome to Portland. If it’s a downpour, we’ll reschedule. If it’s moody with clouds or drizzle, that’s honestly the best lighting you’ll get. Don’t fear the gray.

Show up rested, hydrated, and feeling like yourself. If you’re getting hair or makeup done, keep it natural enough that you still recognize the person in the mirror. Bring water, touch-up essentials, and good energy.

You’ll get a proof gallery within two weeks. Once you pick your favorites, I’ll deliver your final edited images shortly after. Clean, polished, ready to post or print.

photos with a purpose

rooted in community

Portland is home. Giving back is non-negotiable. A percentage of every shoot supports local Latino families navigating ICE hardship and local organizations fighting food insecurity.
Because community care looks good on everyone.
