This was a fabulous day. Sunshine streaming through the trees at Portland State Farmers Market where I spent time with Peter and Zara of Kaphiy Roasters, capturing the vibrant energy and genuine connections of market day.
Peter and Zara bring such warmth and enthusiasm to their small-batch coffee business, sourcing directly from women-owned farms in Peru's Andes mountains.
I loved watching them engage with vendors, sharing stories about their direct trade relationships and the mission behind their business. There's something special about capturing these fleeting moments where you can see real connection happening.
The project, supported by Prosper Portland, focused on creating visual stories that showcase not just Kaphiy's presence at the market, but the people and purpose behind their brand. These images celebrate the community spirit that transforms a simple market day into meaningful exchanges.
