Wizard Island

Wizard Island is a volcanic cinder cone that forms an island on the west end of Crater Lake in Oregon’s Crater Lake National Park.

Praising Spring

What a fun shoot to celebrate spring’s arrival! These images of Rachel were taken at a natural area located near Barton, Oregon in rural Clackamas County.

Nine year-old Gabe is a boy who is passionate about Dinosaurs. I would even call him an expert. He sure knows A LOT about them—certainly more than me! We all know that time passes way too quickly. Drop me a note and I’m happy to work with you to create the perfect portrait session. I…

Story Telling

As a portrait photographer, one of my biggest responsibilities during a portrait session isn’t to click the shutter button, but to make the person in front of the lens look as natural and relaxed as possible. This is not always easy, and I take a lot of pride in the experience I have posing people so that…

It was fun and Brian was very engaging with my daughter with no experience modeling. He made her feel very comfortable trying something new. He made the pictures look amazing. He was open to try new things and different poses. We’ll definitely use him for a family portrait.

My experience from my senior photoshoot was better than expected and the photos turned out to be phenomenal! Brian takes amazing pictures!

Rani B.

During the photoshoot I had a lot of fun, Brian is a very creative and easy going photographer. The fact that he’s so easy going makes you more relaxed and more open to trying new things. Being a shy girl, I immediately broke out of my shell and was ready to take on anything he had planned for me—in the end they all became amazing shots!

Brian did a photo shoot of some Sugar Skull makeup I did for my makeup portfolio. It was such an awesome experience working with him he made the photo shoot very fun yet professional and he is very considerate of any needs or concerns you may have! I was blown away when I got to finally see the shots he got of the models/my makeup. Every single one is a very high quality/well edited/shot and just BEAUTIFUL all around! I will definitely be working with him in the future and suggesting him to everyone I know!

I cannot say enough about Brian Pasko. The pictures he took are amazing. He was so patient and fun with our toddler and helped our teen to come out of her shell and shine. His knowledge of the area ensured our daughter’s smiles were captured in the most serene and beautiful backgrounds. Brian was also incredibly easy to work with. He was professional, flexible, and open to ideas we had. I am already thinking of outfits for photos next season.

My son was reluctant about the whole senior photo process, but Brian kept the shoot time short and the atmosphere relaxed. He was very professional and responsive to our needs and deadlines. Most importantly, the image quality was superb. We went from reluctant to happy customers with incredible photos to remember our son’s senior year!

Barbara P.

Brian did my family photos and I was very impressed. My kids were not wanting to take pictures and were a handful, but Brian was very patient and willing to work with us. I plan on using Brian for our future photos.

Amela A.

Brian is the absolute best! He has an amazing vision and strong work ethic. He knew what made me look my absolute best on camera and my images came out looking absolutely stunning! I strongly recommend Brian for any project.

Chico B.

Brian Pasko is the real deal — a full-service photographer who has both outstanding technical talents and excellent interpersonal skills. We worked with Brian for our student’s senior portraits as well as a few family shots. He provided invaluable assistance at each point in the process, from the initial consult to the selection of wardrobe and setting to designing possible portrait displays in our home. His final portraits are absolutely beautiful — we will treasure them always. We feel so fortunate to have found Brian, and we enthusiastically recommend him for any and all of your photographic needs.

Shelly M.

I 100% recommend Brian Pasko Photogrphy to anyone looking in to getting amazing, professional photos taken! Brian is a great guy to work with. I’ve had two sessions so far (Prom and Senior Portraits) and each time was a blast! He knows the best spots and I am extremely satisfied with how the photos turned out! He also has a great selection of frames, picture sizes, canvases, etc. I am definitely going to schedule more sessions!
