Table Mountain

On May 31, Kim and I celebrated our 11th anniversary at the top of Table Mountain in Oregonian’s Columbia River Gorge. It was a pretty grueling climb up, and at the top I decided we needed a celebratory selfie to capture the moment. You can see the result below, and I’m pretty sure I’m going…

Orcas Island

If you’re looking for an exotic island vacation without leaving the Pacific Northwest, look no further than the San Juan archipelago in Washinton’s Northwest corner! And in particular, check out Orcas Island, a hilly, 57 square mile, horseshoe-shaped Island that’s just a hop, skip, a few hours drive and an hour-long ferry-ride from downtown Seattle. …

Mount Rainier Sunset

This last light on Mt. Rainier presented for less than a minute, just briefly as the sun hit the horizon. I nearly missed the opportunity to capture it on my drive home from Seattle. In fact, I was scrambling pretty fast to try and find the right shooting location as the light quickly faded. The…

On Cats and Dogs

Okay, I’ll admit it. I’m a professional photographer who just *LOVES* to create beautiful portraits of “average” cats and dogs. Because the truth is that our pets present some of the most challenging─and rewarding─portrait subjects to be found. And they can teach us a lot about photographing their human companions. Sure, we all stand around…

Balsamroot

I found my way up into the Columbia Hills just a few weeks to late this year — the Balsamroot blossoms (those big yellow flowers you see below) were just a bit past their prime. But, with a background full of beautiful billowing white clouds against a bright blue sky, I couldn’t not take the…

Lazy Saturday

As a photographer, sometimes my own pets are my favorite subjects. Today my beautiful cat, Pigeon, decided to be a willing model. When I saw her sleeping soundly on the couch beneath our living room window, I couldn’t help but take her portrait. She woke to the sound of my camera focusing, a pop of…

Family of Four

If you follow my blog, you already know that I am a BIG FAN of the Pacific Northwest, and Oregon in particular. And, as far as the weather goes, I am of the view that there are definitely worse places to be. You won’t find me complaining about cloudy skies and wet days. In fact, overcast days…

Lewis River

My wife and I traveled North this past weekend to one of Washington State’s hidden gems. We were in search of a low elevation backpacking trail that was free of snow. I was in search of great opportunities to capture beautiful fine art photographers. We found both along the banks of the Lewis River. While…

Flowering Dogwood

As a fine art and naturescape photographer, I just couldn’t resist a quick shot of these beautiful pink dogwoods in my neighbor’s yard. We’ve got a few of these too, but somehow my neighbors plants always look better than my own! Either way, it’s a welcome sign to see spring in full swing, knowing clear…

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!

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!

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

We had a wonderful experience with Brian Pasko Photography! We have three little ones who can be difficult to get to sit still and have pictures taken, but Brian was extremely patient during the photo shoot and we now have beautiful pictures of our family hanging on our walls that we will treasure forever. Highly recommended!

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.

Brian Pasko is my family and I’s go to photographer! He has very unique and creative ideas! Working with him was a pleasure and he is willing to do anything to get the perfect picture! He photographed my senior pictures and my family pictures! I refer him to all my friends and family when looking for a photographer!

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.

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 consummate professional photographer. He is prompt, responsive and passionate about delivering a fantastic product. He is a pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with him again!

Matthias B.

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.
