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!

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...

Palmer • Beaverton Class of 2010 • Portland Oregon Senior Portraits

I’m not entirely sure what I was thinking when I scheduled Palmer’s session… well, yes I did. I was thinking that somewhere in the 90 degree range didn’t sound bad for tromping around town. That was before I knew that the day that we photographed would be the day that we hit our summer high...

Amanda • Jesuit Class of 2010 • Portland Oregon Senior Portraits

Maybe I shouldn’t admit this, but Amanda was actually the very first person that we ever took senior portraits of… when she was a sophomore! She is such a natural beauty that we borrowed her and pretended that she was a few years more advanced in the school age. The very next day we met...

Evelyn & Scott • Portland Oregon Engagement and Wedding Photographers

Evelyn and Scott are one of those couples about which Will and I have always used the phrase, “They make everyone else jealous.” They both have fabulous jobs, live in a beautiful building in the Pearl, and… oh, of course, they’re drop dead gorgeous to boot. But they’re also humble and funny and adorably, magically...

Katie in Full Bloom™ • Portland Oregon Teen Photographers

I love photographing tweens and teens. They have so much potential, so much life. Sometimes, though, they have a hard time seeing just how amazing they really are. That’s why we created our Full Bloom™ and Standing Tall™ sessions. They’re the culmination of our Growing Series™ and perfectly capture the joie de vivre that comes...

Rains Family • Portland Oregon Family Photography

I’ve been friends with Tracy, the owner and proprietor of Pumpkin Noodle, an adorable line of children’s clothing, for quite some time now. We’ve often chatted about getting together to photograph their family and now it’s finally come to fruition! This was such a fun session. Both John and Tracy are super gregarious and fun...

Megan & Nat • Portland Oregon Wedding Photography

We set out last week to photograph Megan and Nat in one of our favorite spots in Pearl District (we’d thought it was “our” spot, but we keep seeing it pop up on blogs around the city; I guess we’ve been discovered!) I loved the bright colors they chose, which matched their personalities perfectly. I...

Introducing Dillon • 2010 Benson High School Senior Portrait Representative

We ventured out with Dillon last weekend on one of those perfect spring mornings that really feels more like summer. He’ll be a senior next year at Benson High School, near downtown Portland, but we stayed fairly close to his personal digs since, well, that’s where he and his friends spend most of their time....

Reese and Reid • Portland Oregon Child Photography

We photographed Reese and her baby brother, Reid, a few weeks ago as a surprise for their dad for Father’s Day (though we’ve heard that he may have been too clever and already figured out the gift!) We took them to one of our favorite places, northwest Portland’s Pearl District, which is full to the...

Adorable Miss Reese • Portland Oregon Child Photography

When we photographed Reese and her baby brother, Reid, we played A LOT with both of them. After all, that’s the whole point of our sessions! But Reese ended up stealing the show big time. Between her little smile and her giggle and her TUTU (Oh, how I love little girls in tutus!), we just...
