Portraits on the Family Farm

For this family, having their portraits taken on the family farm was the obvious location choice. Here’s a look at three of the five generations who have been farming the Baggenstoss property in Sherwood, Oregon since the 1920s. If you haven’t visited the Baggenstoss Farm store recently, it’s sure worth the trip! It’s a pretty awesome…

The Butterfly Queen

Model Selena Martinez is the “Butterfly Queen!” Once again I had the privilege to photograph the remarkable work of professional hair and makeup artist Sasha Steifel. Not only did Sasha execute Selena’s beautiful hair and makeup, she fashioned the intricately detailed hairpiece that brings a hint of storytelling and impact to each of these images.…

Wahclella Falls Wedding

Wahclella falls in Oregon’s Columbia River Gorge is a special place, especially if you decide to get married there! Suffice it to say, Annika is a pretty outdoorsy girl.

Decorating your Home with Family Portraits

There’s truth in cliches. Your home is your castle. And in many cases your home is a family’s most valuable asset. And a well decorated home creates a sense of place, comfort and belonging for everyone under the roof—not the just the adults, but the little ones too. So, when it comes time to decorating your own personal refuge, what better option is there than to fill the walls with the people and places that you love the most?

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!

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.

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 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.

Hillary B.

“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.

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!

Wyatt L.

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.

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.

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

Rani 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.

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.

Katie H

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.
