Happy Birthday Omar

This past weekend I had the honor to witness and photograph a very generous community of people pour all of their love into a birthday party for a very brave four year-old boy who is battling cancer. In 2014, Omar was diagnosed with neuroblastoma when he was just two years old

Tips for Great Family Portraits

For a lot of people, family portrait sessions can be really stressful. Are the kids going to have a meltdown? Is Dad going to throw a temper tantrum? What if junior decides to play in the mud in his Sunday best? Does my hair look okay? There’s just so much pressure to get the perfect picture!

Metallic Prints vs. Metals

I get asked by clients all the time what is the difference between a metallic print and a metal. Both of these products are great choices for displaying your images, especially for pictures of children and high school seniors where you want portraits with vibrant colors and a lot of energy.

Better Family Pictures – The Rule of Thirds

If you’re looking to take better pictures and snapshots of your children and family, consider the rule of thirds! One of the things that I learned from my mother growing up is that the value of a photograph isn’t always about technical perfection, it’s about the story that it tells. Yes, there’s a time and…

Mount Hood Sunrise

If everyone had a chance to see Mount Hood at sunrise early in their life, there would be a lot more people living in Portland, Oregon. And for all of you non-Oregonians out there who think that it doesn’t do anything but rain in Oregon all winter long, well, you might just be right! But the occasional…

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.

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!

Selma J.

Working with Brian was an amazing experience. I felt comfortable the whole time and I could tell he was passionate about his work. The pictures turned out incredible! I will be telling my friends about him in the future.

When I worked with Brian, it was so easy to be relaxed during the shoot and have the prints look wonderful. He is very professional, and edited the pictures quickly! I am impressed by his work, and would recommend him to anyone who wants quality pictures.

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.

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.

My experience working with Brian was awesome! He did my senior photos and I had so much fun! Once we started to take pictures I started to feel more relaxed and experience what it is like being at a photo shoot. I felt like a model in a magazine! So I have to say that Brian Pasko is an awesome photographer and I had a great time working with him on my senior photos.

Abigail S.

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 went above and beyond for a photo shoot when I was featured on the cover of an industry trade magazine. The photos turned out to be FANTASTIC! And Brian managed the entire process quickly, easily and with wonderful quality work. And the magazine we worked with commented on his professionalism.

Eric K.

Going into my senior pictures I was nervous about everything. I was nervous that they wouldn’t look good, that my photographer would be rude, I was nervous that I would have a really bad experience. Brian helped me so much and made my senior picture experience so great! He was great about finding a location and helping me figure out what to wear! He was an awesome guy and I am so glad I went to him! If I had to do my senior pictures over again I wouldn’t change a thing! He’s a great guy to work with and the whole experience was beyond fun!

Joely Y.

Brian did an excellent job of taking our family photos. We had 8 people in the photo, 3 under the age of 10. He used several different settings and groupings. Brian has a calmness about his work which allowed the rest of us to be relaxed. The results were wonderful. He was very helpful with our selection and size choices. It is hard to visualize what the photo will look like on the wall, and Brian had many devices to help with that. He was also very responsive to my questions. Thank you Brian for a great experience and for preserving our moment in time.
