I want to start with my goal. When you see your photos, I want you to see your own genuine beauty (men too) and that you will feel more confident for the rest of your life. I was an actor and model photographer in Hollywood for 20 years. I chose to move to Eugene for many reasons. I love it here, my work is different every day and everyone is so good looking!

I am a fan of faces. I have been told my gifts as a photographer are the ability to see, and call out, the real, beautiful side of you. I have my very own style of beauty lighting and lots of backgrounds in my comfy studio.

Sometimes we all need direction and guidance. I've turned to mentors and teachers over the years. A mentor is someone who can help us see the bigger picture, and help you come up with a plan for creating and achieving success. How can I help you make your dreams come true?
Session prices include the time for your shoot, my time preparing all your photos, retouching your chosen pics and finally preparing your DVD. Q: How long should I allow for my $225. A: It takes about 1/2 hour to get all ready to shoot and that time is on me. Then your shooting time is one hour. Allow an hour and 1/2 here at the studio.
Right before I picked up a camera professionally I was personal assistant to Cindy Williams during the time she was on "Laverne and Shirley". She hosted a party at her house and many celebs of the time came! Below on the left is Dahila (Cindy's housekeeper), Cindy, Stuart Margolin ("Angel" in the Rockford Files) and Lynne Marie Stewart ("the most beautiful girl in the world" from Pee-Wee's playhouse). On the right is a girl who has had too much to drink (me) with David Groh ("Mary Tyler Moore" and "Rhoda").
This photo inspired Register Guard writer Bob Welch to write a story "Tough and Tender" for the paper. This young man had been in Afghanistan and never saw his wife pregnant, this was the first day he saw his baby. John and I are so happy with how the pictures turned out. And just like my last photo shoot with you, I felt comfortable the entire time and we had a lot of fun!

My husband gifted our daughter a "See Yourself Beautiful" photo session. Peggy was amazing to work with and beyond helpful. She made my daughter feel beautiful and her pictures are outstanding. I highly recommend her!

Peggy's headshots of myself and other staff members were fabulous. She is very good at getting the best poses, angles, and lighting. All of our photos look very professional! I would highly recommend Peggy!

We found the photographer Peggy rude! We were exchanging emails because we were looking for a photographer who can do college senior photoshoot both outdoor (campus) and studio. She showed interest during earlier part of our conversation. She even asked me what are my ideas of the location of the outdoor photoshoot. After I laid down some of my suggestions (which are not complicated and even a novice photographer can do) she replied by telling me to just look for another photographer that fit my needs! My needs are basic! So rude, did not even apologize and say sorry that she cannot do my request.

I recently had a second photo session with Peggy and WOW! The photos are just beautiful. I love her attention to detail and the way she ensures the photos are just perfect. I don't care to get my picture taken, and Peggy worked with that and helped fine tune make-up and clothing choices. She is also an expert in helping her clients convey expression and authenticity through face and body movements. Highly recommend!

Peggy is a dream to work with. She quickly understood the look and feel I wanted for head shots to use to start a business and launch a new book. She then proceeded to pull those qualities out of my expression, taking a TON of photos to ensure that I got the variety I needed for my website and other branding. Her turn-around time with the proofs and final touches was lightning fast. She is also fun and professional, and put me at ease during the photo shoot, which was way out of my comfort zone. You can't go wrong hiring her to bring out your very best!

Peggy is a very talented, patient and professional. She knows how to pull the best out of her subjects. I especially appreciated her showing me shots as we progressed through my session, to produce a portrait photo, which helped me make appropriate adjustments in expression, posture and to my clothing. The finished product was excellent and exceeded my expectations! In addition, I found her prices to be reasonable, and her turnaround time was astonishingly fast. I highly recommend Peggy!

Peggy is the best photographer I have worked with. Peggy recently took some photos of me for my June 2019 graduation from PSU. The pictures came out absolutely perfect! Peggy has years of experience that she uses with inspiration for each photo session she does, including my own with her. Before my session she gave me tips for the best pictures and she asked me what my vision was for my photos.

During my photo shoot she payed very close attention to detail including how my hair was resting on my shoulders, how my jewelry was placed, and the sunlight and shade (outdoor photo shoot). These are things I would want to see and make sure were perfect myself, but without a mirror I was unable to without her help. Peggy makes you feel very comfortable during your photo shoot.

She comes up with great new ideas for poses, while still staying focused on what you want and how you want your pictures to turn out. You will never feel rushed during a session with Peggy. Peggy released my photos promptly following my shoot. I barely had to wait. I was so excited to see the final products and I was even more happy once I saw them. I will return soon for anniversary photos, and wedding photos.

I've taken 3 kids to Peggy but this was the first time for our 4.5 year old, Simone. We've never had professional pictures taken of her and we were unsure of how Simone would act in front of the camera. Peggy did an absolutely amazing job of getting Simone to be her natural self and comfortable in front of the camera. The results is some absolutely incredible pics! We are beyond happy with what Peggy did!

I have gone to Peggy for all three of my kids senior pictures. I have three wildly different children and Peggy was able to put all of them at ease. I got the best pictures I've ever gotten on all three. She was very flexible about places to shoot and was just fun to be with. I highly recommend her!

Peggy is a woman who cares about her craft. Working with her is a pleasure, and every time after, I leave with more experience and knowledge than I had going in. Peggy is the photographer for those looking for a single photo, or a delve into the world of professionalism.

I've had two photo sessions with Peggy. I don't like still shots to begin with; I'd rather be moving. She put me right at ease. When I changed my look, I knew I could go to Peggy for my one sheet photos. I did and she made it fun! I'd recommend her to everyone.

I was very displeased. Not only was she more then willing to take my pictures with very dark skies, she had a very rude attitude. I believe in order to have a successful business you need to have excellent customer service skills, and hers were the complete opposite of excellent, not even tolerable. It's not always about money, sometimes it is about customer satisfaction, and with the attitude she has, I don't see her going much further then what she is. Displeased with her work, attitude, and business would be a complete understatement.

A few weeks ago, I went to Peggy for a photoshoot. She is amazing at what she does! The pictures turned out absolutely beautiful and were of great quality. She has years of experience with camera and lighting in studio, and on sunny days, she'll do outdoor shots as well. Above all, Peggy is fun to work with, she made me laugh and smile throughout the day, and made me feel comfortable in my own skin.

If you want stunning pictures with a fun experience, you won't regret choosing Peggy Iileen as your photographer! Go to her website and have a look for yourself; eugenephotographer.com You won't be disappointed! :

Peggy Iileen is a true artist and professional and will bring life to the photography you need! I contacted her after reviewing her portfolio (online at http://eugenephotographer.com/) and feeling that she had the best eye, best technical ability, and most well rounded portfolio of any I'd seen. I required portraits of myself as all photos of me were both dated and of poor quality and I wanted to have for myself, my family and friends, and for possible professional use should I wish to do so. Peggy was easy to contact and schedule with in the first place.

She gave great "before the shoot" advice and truly cared that my photos would come out the best possible, she is not just going through the motions. She followed up the day before the shoot to confirm. She wanted to find out little things about me relevant to the shoot to help prepare for beforehand and gave excellent tips born of years of photography experience on what clothing to bring and how to be ready.

I have never done a photo shoot before so I needed all this advice. On the day of the shoot she was ready and on time in her professional close-in studio, that contained enough variety in lighting, props, and background colors to accommodate any imagination. She led the way but did not force things to be a certain way and made sure that it was "me" that she was shooting and not a forced concept.

She was unhurried in her before-shoot setup and gave extensive advice and care in helping to select clothing. I had only expected one outfit and she went above and beyond and accommodated many outfit changes and made me feel comfortable about trying different things and not knowing "exactly" what I wanted beforehand. The shoot itself went great, she made me feel relaxed and comfortable for character to come out, and neither let me figure it out on my own on what positions to be in nor forced positions on me, instead "collaborating" and even using other images and asking me what I liked and would like to try.

She was friendly, cheerful, and even funny throughout the shoot, making photos that were light and not stiff. She was artistic without the photos being about her art but still about the subject, complementing the subject not overshadowing it. The experience was great, the photos turned out wonderful, I couldn't be happier, and if anyone is considering this photographer I would call her right away without hesitation.
