Images of Spring

I’m a fine art and a portrait photographer, so while I was out and about with my dog this weekend (see my last blog post), I couldn’t resist photographing the signs of spring popping up all around me! Budding alders, bleeding hearts,and trilliums galore were all to be found along the banks of the Willamette…

Chasing Waves

There’s not much that makes my pet happier than a good wave to chase. Perhaps it’s the blue heeler in her, or the german short-haired pointer. And for me, there’s nothing more fun than photographing portraits of my happy dog! Needless to say, there were plenty of motor boats enjoying the warm spring weekend today,…

Dickey Creek

Oregon’s Bull of the Woods Wilderness is just far enough off the beaten path to still be one of the Pacific Northwest’s best kept secrets. With spring finally warming up, I took advantage of some clear skies last week to wander into a remote northeastern section of the forest along Dickey Creek. As I climbed…

Spring’s Arrival

Located at the confluence of Milk Creek and Nate Creek in Molalla Oregon, Camp Adams sits on 216 acres of amazing Oregon rain forest. I had the fortune of spending some time there this past weekend, and spring was doing its best to poke through the forest floor! Trilliums, some blooming Oregon Grape, a Calypso Orchid…

Mom and Mia

Mia is moving! Her mom has a new job in California, which means that this was Mia’s last visit to Maplewood elementary school in Portland. But, what could have been a sad and sentimental goodbye quickly turned into a super-fun “mom and me” session complete with hula hoops, cool shoes, fun backgrounds, and lots of…

Wall Art

Say what you will about online photo sharing, there’s just NO SUBSTITUTE for a professionally printed photograph, especially when we’re talking about high school senior and family portraits! Especially those big beautiful pieces of art that you can touch and feel and display on your wall! Here’s a snapshot of a 16″x 24″ canvas that…

Jennifer and Charlie

It’s the same story that you hear about in fairy tales and romance novels and during family bedtime stories: two people meet randomly, start talking, fall in love. Only for Jennifer and Charlie, the story happens to be true! One evening they met by happenstance at a restaurant near Esther Short Park in Vancouver, Washington.…

Winter Wonderland

Where does time go? Spring has sprung and I’m just now getting around to posting these “winter wonderland” styled shoot fashion images from last month! From scouting the perfect locations to selecting props and clothing to the technical lighting details, this portrait session was A LOT of work, but I hope you agree the results…

Lost in Las Vegas

Las Vegas, Nevada is perhaps a microcosm for just about everything that’s wrong with American society. Suffice it to say, I’m not really a big fan But, that town’s got some darn good food (Gordon Ramsey’s BURGR restaurant on the Las Vegas Strip is an incredible dining experience!) And, if you’re a fine art or…

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.

Very attentive to details and highly professional. The portraits were beautiful. These will be lifelong cherished keepsakes. Highly recommend. Would hire again.

Having a senior boy who wasn’t all that thrilled to have a photo shoot is not easy. But Brian made it fun and he captured great, genuine moments that we will cherish forever!!

Annette, T.

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!

Our family chose Brian for senior portraits because we knew he’s an excellent photographer, but it was an added bonus to get to see him at work during the photo shoot, and to witness the joy and passion he brings to his photography. In spite of spending several hours outside with the temperature hovering around 36 degrees, Brian showered our daughter with respect and care (and blankets!). We highly recommend Brian Pasko Photography!

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.

My photo session with Brian really put me at ease. Although I am a little camera shy I was still able to follow his good direction. The pictures turned out amazing he definitely has a great eye for photography.

Charlene T.

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.

Bethany G.

Brian Pasko is truly amazing to work with. Brian was knowledgeable, kind, and helped my son relax during his senior portrait afternoon. He followed through with every step in the process, which helped us select portraits that we will treasure forever. I would highly recommend this photography service to anyone looking for a photographer in the Portland area and more. Truly an incredible experience.
