Introducing: The Strike a Pose Package 📸✨💇♀️
This package combines two wonderful local talents to help one lucky bidder feel confident, radiant, and camera-ready.
First is Mary Spagnola (
@maryspagnola ), stylist, who generously donated a professional cut and style. After searching for years for a stylist who is truly skilled at cutting, styling, and color, and who knows how to work with curly hair, I (Karin) found Mary. I’ve been her ever since. Licensed originally in California in 2004 and in Portland since 2006, she brings deep experience and genuine care to her work. Naturally curly herself, she’s especially gifted with curly hair, but her expertise spans all hair types, including fine and thinning hair. She’s also an exceptional colorist, skilled in everything from seamless grey coverage and natural blondes to fun fashion colors, and she offers affirming, welcoming care for all genders.
Paired with Mary’s gift is a one-hour portrait session donated by Rick Majewski, (
@rick_majewski ) a gifted photographer whose work spans photojournalism, weddings, music festivals, and portrait photography. Rick has more than 15 years of experience behind the lens, with work featured in BuzzFeed, Mother Jones, and Chicago Sun-Times, among many others. His portrait work is vibrant, artful, and full of life. The winner will receive a one-hour digital photo shoot, up to three looks, at a location of their choosing, with a gallery of high-resolution images to keep.
Together, this package is more than a haircut and a photo session. It’s a chance to feel seen and celebrated. Perfect for professional headshots, family keepsakes, branding images, or simply capturing yourself in a moment that feels good to your soul.
Thank you, Mary and Rick! ❤️
