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). We photographed a lot of weddings last season and had an amazing time. We noticed something, though, along the way: with our portrait clients, we’re able...
The many sides of senior portraiture • Portland Oregon Photographers
One of the things that I love about being a photographer in the Pacific Northwest is the prolific variety of backgrounds that we have to use for our clients. Within literally minutes of the downtown, urban Portland metropolitan area there are fields and forests, and past that is the Oregon Coast and the Cascade Mountains...
Introducing Lacey • 2011 Southridge High School Senior Rep
There is only one word that I can think of that really describes Lacey: she is SASSY. She’s a total fireball, full of energy and also a total crack-up (you just know that there’s a practical joke or witty thought brewing in her head pretty much 24/7). She was the first of our senior representatives...
Introducing Ellie • 2011 Oregon Episcopal School Senior Rep
We have done most of our senior sessions this year down in the inner SE Portland industrial district, where our studio is located (yes, right in the middle of all of the construction for MAX!), but for Ellie we made an exception. She has a CRAZY schedule– she was just in the school play, she...
Introducing Amanda • 2011 Century High School Senior Rep
We’ve been so busy PHOTOGRAPHING our senior representatives that I haven’t had a chance to BLOG about our senior reps. But we have a whole bunch that are just waiting in the wings to be showcased and I’m thrilled to start with Amanda. We’ve been photographing their family for a couple of years now and...
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....
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...
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...
