Valentines Day with Abby

I got to spend Valentine’s day on a photo shoot with my favorite adopted niece, Abby!

A Day at the Dog Park

Ah, the life of a dog. This is my blue heeler-German Short-haired pointer mix making the most of a day at the dog park.

Kilauea

This is the view into the Kilauea cater at night at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

We walked nearly 20 miles today across open lava fields in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park in search of lava pouring into the ocean. No running lava to be found, but the views were still pretty amazing! (Click on images to see larger versions).

Haleakala National Park

I was luck enough to watch the sunset from Mount Haleakala at Haleakala National Park in Maui. The observatory and tourists at the top made for some interesting silhouhettes!

Water Drops

So after a year of taking a photo every day, everybody’s been asking me “what’s next?” I swore I wouldn’t do it again, but some of my awesome photography friends peer pressured me into joining them in a 52 week project (a photo a week). We’re in week 3 and this week’s theme was “water drops.” This is a shot I took this evening of the condensation on the inside of the automatic watering bottle we have for our pets. I back-lit the drops by bouncing my flash into a blue blanket, giving them the blue cast.

Girls Basketball

And here are some shots of the girls basketball teams that I photographed at the Portland Rose Garden over the holidays:

Boys Basketball

Over the holidays I had the chance to photograph a youth basketball tournament. It was pretty cool to be able to shoot on the floor of Portland’s Rose Garden where the Portland Trailblazers play! Here are some shots of the boys basketball teams.

Latourelle Falls – Portland Fine Art Photographer

The waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge are spectacular this time of year. This is a shot of the lower Latourelle Falls taken from the historic Columbia River Highway in Oregon’s Columbia River Gorge.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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!

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.

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.

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!
