A Weekend in Washington

Kim and I decided to head north for the weekend (well at least for about 24 hours or so). We set up camp a few feet off the road near Washington’s Lower Lewis River Falls. From there we did a small bit of hiking and then headed up to an overlook to watch the sunset behind Mt. St. Helens. Not a bad way to spend a summer weekend in the Pacific Northwest!

Leslie Gulch

Deep in Oregon’s southeast corner sits an immense tract of jagged rock formations, sagebrush steppe and strikingly colored desert known as the Owyhee Canyonlands. This is Oregon’s “Grand Canyon” – one of the largest unprotected roadless areas in the continental United States. And it contains hundreds of miles of wild and scenic rivers and a geological beauty that rivals desert lands that many Oregonian’s believe only exist in southern Utah. Here are some shots from a trip I recently made to Leslie Gulch in late June.

Bethany – Portland Fashion Photographer

A lot of people don’t realize that gloomy days sometimes produce the most spectacular photographs. Bright sunny days create harsh shadows that are sometimes difficult to work with and don’t produce the most flattering images. Here’s some shots of Bethany that we took during a break in the rain at the McMenamin’s Edgefield conference center in Troutdale, Oregon.

Summer Harvest

Lots of peas and raspberries coming out of our garden! We’re starting to get a bit overwhelmed!

Trillium Lake Stars

Some people have a strange idea of fun. For me it’s all about staying up for over 24 hours to spend the night on a Mountain watching and photographing the stars. The clear skies and new moon last night called for a bit of a star party! Here’s the night sky over Mount Hood and Trillium Lake. (Click on the image to see a larger version).

Really fun shoot with Rosa this week! It’s amazing how a small bit of creative lighting can turn a plain ol’ Oregon woods into an enchanted forest!

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 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!

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

“Wow” is all we can say regarding Brian’s photography and service experience! We were so incredibly happy with the final product of our high school senior, and his canvas portrait of her will grace our home’s walls from now until the end… Thank You so much Brian for the kind patience in working with your website and all the help you’ve provide us, especially hand delivery of the final portrait to our home, way too kind! We cannot wait to see the work for our next two children in the months and years to come.

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.

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!

Laura B.

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 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.

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.

Shelly M.

Without hesitation, Brian is the best photographer our family has ever worked with! He is patient, creative, very generous with his time, able to make you feel comfortable even when you don’t like having photos taken, and willing to do whatever it takes to get the perfect photo! He has taken our family photos and senior photos and they are all fabulous! I highly recommend him–you won’t be disappointed!!!

Darla B.

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!
