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!

Perri and Corey at the Crown Ballroom • Portland Oregon Weddings

Perri and Corey have one of those stories that make me kind of believe in fate: they met in Mexico, on vacation, while they were each with their individual families. They had an instant connection and spent the rest of the time inseparable. But Perri is from Toronto and Corey is from Portland and you’d...

Brigitte & Eric and the bridges of Portland • Portland Engagement Sessions

Over the last several months we’ve been thinking about weddings here at RLPStudios. (Full disclosure: I’ve been subscribing to Martha Stewart Weddings since the inaugural issue. But I digress).

Josh & Emily’s Military Wedding at the Abernethy Center

A month and a day ago, RLP Studios photographed what was one of the most fun, lively, emotional, and lovely events of our studio’s history: the wedding of Emily Brock Jones and Josh Jones.

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...

We had the awesome opportunity to bring the Mini Studio™ down to the Children’s Cancer Association Celebration of Courage event last Sunday.

Yelp’s Ballroom Bash • Portland Oregon Event Photographers

We’ve been longtime lovers of Yelp. Their tagline “Real People. Real Reviews” to me says it all: it’s a great place to go to get the true story about a business. Sometimes the recommendations are glowing and you’re so glad that it’s a place you know you’ll love. Sometimes, you’re glad that you checked so...

Ron and Lindsey are a really sweet couple, the kind of people that instantly make you feel at ease the moment you meet them. They had a beautiful ceremony in the wedding...

Don of Yelp! puts on some of the most amazing parties we know so this is not...

TJ and Cherie • Portland Oregon Wedding Photographers

We photographed TJ and Cherie’s wedding earlier this month at the picturesque Green Villa Barns in Independance, Oregon. The gardens there are amazing and are surrounded by corn and wheat fields, which are of course a photographer’s paradise. And TJ and Cherie? Well, they couldn’t be more perfect. They are such sweet couple, so incredibly...
