Reversed Lens Photography Studios specializes in fresh, boutique portraiture for every stage in life. Our passion is capturing the emotion inherent in the human experience-- the first days of babyhood, the jubilance of childhood, the awkwardness and anticipation of the teenage years, the sweetness of love and the beginnings of a life together-- and then translating those moments into heirloom-quality art.

Our blog is a combination of all of those moments. We highlight the latest sessions from our portrait and event work, as well as little glimpses into what drives our creativity and passion. Sometimes that's a product or vendor that we're thrilled to have stumbled into, or it might just be moments from our life that we felt compelled to share.

More than anything, we hope that you'll feel our passion: for beauty, even in the most unexpected places, for uniqueness, but most of all for the true, beautiful joy of real life.

Come see your life through a different lens with us today!

Introducing Zachary • 2011 Beaverton High School Senior Rep

I can’t believe that it’s already senior picture time! Zachary is the first of our reps that we’ll be featuring this year. He’s a really dynamic guy; he plays waterpolo and swims on the varsity level and even though he’s a bit soft spoken, he’s one of those kids who you know is just cool....

Our little Pea • Portland Oregon Child Portraits

You know that old adage about cobblers and their shoes? We take a lot of photos of our daughter. A lot. Maybe too many. But most of them are taken on the fly whilst living our life. They end up on our hard drives and never see the light of day. The other day we...

One Fine Day™ with the Fishers • Portland Oregon Family Portraits

I’ve been a fan of Stacey Lynn for, well, at least as long as she’s been on the 105.1 Morning Buzz with Nelson and Terry. She always seemed like a doll and when I met her last year, I was thrilled to discover that she really IS that sweet. She’s the genuine article. And a...

Little Miss Olive • Portland Oregon Child Photography

I think that names say a lot about a person. If you have a super cute name, full of personality, how can one not be fun? Well, Olive certainly proves my point. She was fun all around within about thirty seconds of walking in the door! This time of year the weather doesn’t always cooperate...

Sandhya • Oregon Episcopal School Class of 2010

I know that you’re not supposed to play favorites among your clients, anymore than you’re supposed to play favorites among your kids. The latter is easy for me because we only have one tot. But this session with Sandhya was, by far, one of my favorite sessions we have ever done with a senior. She’s...

Little Urbanites Halloween • Portland Oregon Photo Booth

We love taking the Mini Studio™, the RLPortraits version of an old-style photobooth, to events. So when Little Urbanites, one of our favorite Pearl District kid boutiques, asked us to bring it as part of their celebration for the Pearl’s Halloween Hunt, we were more than game. I have never been able to figure out...

Alexa & Erynn • Lincoln High Class of 2010

When I was younger I had this dream of having twins. I thought it would be the coolest thing. Now that I’m the mother of a crazy, exhuberant little girl I’m kind of glad that we have them one at a time (at least so far…) But that little part of me that loves the...

Meet a Lucy Pro! • Portland Oregon Photographers

I know that this will sound corny but I love Marni Renison of tv’s It Moms. She is one of the most vivacious, creative, charismatic people I have ever known. She’s also, as she and Holly are fond of saying, “Really real.” She’s a real mom, a real friend– and a really amazing runner (not...

Katz family • Portland Oregon Family Photographers

Michelle is a friend of a friend who I have seen in passing oh, about a million times. And one day this summer she said, “You know, we really should do family pictures with you guys.” I was game, of course. And then we got to their house last week and I saw her boys…...

It’s that time again… • Portland Oregon Lifestyle Family Photographers

I love the build-up to the holiday season mostly because I am a self-declared holiday junkie. I love Halloween and dressing up and little children meandering the neighborhood streets trick or treating. I love Thanksgiving and cooking for three days. And no, I’m not being ironic. But most of all, I love the winter holidays....
