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!

As close to home as it gets

We’ve been doing a lot of rearranging things in our life lately and that’s included our home. Our little girl is now four and was determined to get a “girly room” instead of the childhood hodgepodge that it had become. I did my best to scour the shops and somehow found a combination of purple...

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...

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...

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...

We’ve been having a fabulous time working with Holly Resnick and Marni Renison, the faces of Better TV’s “It Moms” segments. Holly & Marni are bringing out a new website and came to us to do some new pictures to match their new look. One of the things that I absolutely love about them is...

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…...

Hailey’s Simchat Bat • Portland Oregon Family and Event Photographers

Many people are familiar with the Jewish bris, which is performed on the eighth day after a baby boy is born to celebrate his life and give him a name in the Jewish tradition. The tradition that is less well-known is the Simchat Bat, the naming ceremony for little girls. We had the enormous pleasure...

CCA Celebration of Courage • Portland Oregon Photobooth

We had the awesome opportunity to bring the Mini Studio™ down to the Children’s Cancer Association Celebration of Courage event last Sunday. CCA is an amazing organization, born from the legacy of a little girl who lost her own battle with cancer but fought bravely to the end. Her family started CCA because, as they...

Charlton Family • Portland Oregon Family & Child Photographers

We met the Charltons nearly two years ago, and since then all of our lives have taken some interesting twists and detours. But every once in a while we’d be in contact and Dara would say, “I really want you to photograph my family!” And now, at last, we’ve done just that. And oh, what...

I was so thrilled to be able to photograph Heather and Tom and their adorable children a few weeks ago! Their session was our first Celebrating Adoption session; we’re in the process of joining this wonderful national organization, which gifts families who bring a little one into their homes and hearts a complimentary portrait session....
