Waldo Lake

Waldo Lake is a pretty special place – even for Oregon! It’s Oregon’s second largest lake and one of the three purest lakes in the entire world. I spent the weekend camping on its shores. It turns out that dogs love Waldo Lake too!

Saturday Market – Portland Family Photographer

Kim and I headed out for a late breakfast this morning at the Portland Saturday Market with some friends and their daughter Callie. I figured that when you put a market and a kid together, there would be photo opportunities abound. Turns out I was right. (Click the images to view larger versions).

Larch Mountain Sunrise

Larch Mountain towers over the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge. High up, it has some pretty commanding views of Mount Hood, Mount St. Helens, and Mount Adams. I was blessed with fog in the valley as the sun rose behind Mt. Adams on this August morning. (Click on the image to view a…

Sammi – Aloha High School

Had a great time this evening photographing Sammi, a student at Aloha High School in Beaverton, Oregon. These shots were taken along the Willamette River at George Rogers Park in Lake Oswego, Oregon.

Mount Hood Wilderness

Mount Hood is pretty amazing as far as mountains go, even more so when you get to see it up close and personal. My friends make fun of me because I call it “My Mountain,” and this weekend it was just that as my dog and I spent some quality time together in the Mount Hood Wilderness (see previous post). Here’s some images of “My Mountain” from this past weekend’s backpacking trip.

Ramona Falls – Portland Fine Art Photographer

Ramona Falls is pretty special as far as waterfalls ago, not only for its beauty but for the fact that it’s protected inside the Mount Hood Wilderness. Ramona Creek tumbles down about 120 feet across broken basalt before flowing into the nearby Sandy River. The falls were first discovered in 1845 when Sam Barlow and his team of pioneers had to abandon construction of a wagon route around Mt. Hood before the onset of winter.

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.

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!

I engaged Brian for professional head shots. From fielding my initial inquiry, to setting up a fun, relaxed shoot that 100% captured the look and feel I was hoping for, to advising me on the best final shots to consider, Brian was responsive, a fantastic listener, and extremely skilled in his craft. He knows the art and the business of photography, and is focused on making sure his clients are happy with the final product. I would use him again and highly recommend him to anyone.

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.

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!

Sasha S.

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.

Brandy T.

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.

Brian was very fun to work with. He was not only amazing at taking photos but also made me feel comfortable. We talked and laughed the whole time. My photos turned out incredible as well! The quality is impeccable and I would recommend Brian to everyone!

Scarlet V.

Brian was the ultimate professional throughout my experience of working with him. He was a pleasure, he offers reasonable prices, and the quality of my portraits far surpassed what I could have imagined. Brian had a way of making me genuinely relaxed during our shoot, which combined with his native gift for creative composition resulted in my photos reflecting my authentic self in a number of different poses and backgrounds. I could not be more pleased with the results of our collaborative work together!

Gavin F

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.
