Patrick F Smith Photography

My daughter and her family are scheduled for a photo shoot with Patrick. They plan on selecting a print to have transformed into a canvas portrait. As a Christmas present, no work has been done so far. I had a conversation with Patrick and he comes across as extremely proficient and eager to satisfy. Marilyn

I cannot praise Patrick enough for his outstanding customer service, excellent quality of work, fair pricing, timeliness, and overall performance. As someone who has worked with several photographers in Portland, including during my time as Mrs. Oregon, I had many top photographers in mind when searching for one to take my fifteen-year-old daughter's headshot. Ultimately, I chose Patrick due to his comparability to the best photographers in PDX, along with his flexibility, responsiveness, and exceptional customer service skills. Although I was taking a risk by choosing someone I wasn't as familiar with, I was pleasantly surprised to have all my expectations exceeded. Patrick's talent and approachability made my daughter feel comfortable posing for her headshots, and his makeup artist, Ashley, did an incredible job creating two distinct looks that we had provided. Ashley's rapport with teens is exceptional and she was able to bring out the best in my daughter's makeup and hair. The photos that Patrick took of my daughter surpassed my expectations, and the price that we paid was very reasonable. I appreciated that he did not force clients into package deals and that he charged each photo individually. The customer service that we received was also exceptional, and Patrick was responsive to all our questions and concerns. In conclusion, I highly recommend Patrick for any photography needs. His professionalism, high-quality work, and exceptional customer service make him an excellent choice for anyone looking for a photographer.

I sought out talented photographers to take some stunning portraits of myself and ended up receiving responses from five amazing individuals. Among them, Patrick's work immediately caught my eye due to the exceptional quality of his photos. His extensive range of creative options and impressive use of color truly stood out to me, as well as his sincere and responsive communication. What's more, his pricing was quite reasonable, and he offered full support with my photographic needs, including picking out multiple outfits and even providing hair and makeup services. As a nurse and board member, aspiring vocalist, and person wishing to share some fun photos with loved ones, I had various reasons for seeking professional photos. Naturally, I arrived at Patrick's studio with a heap of outfit choices and high expectations. Although I had originally hoped for a different studio setting, when I initially entered his studio, I was less than impressed. However, Patrick's capabilities spoke for themselves, and the photos on his website encouraged me to stay open-minded. Patrick was patient, professional, and incredibly supportive, offering suggestions for outfit and accessory combinations that he believed would photograph well. The simple room we used for the session ended up being perfect due to the stunning lighting, and Patrick's direction was clear and easy to follow. We had a fun and productive time capturing these photos, and although the setting was not as advanced as I imagined it would be, the finished products are breathtaking. The only problem now is deciding which of the fantastic photos I want to use, as Patrick captured me in a way that exceeded my expectations. I plan to work with him again on future occasions!

I highly recommend Patrick, an exceptional photographer who adeptly put my son at ease during his senior portrait session.

During our request for a photo session with Patrick Smith, we had the pleasure of encountering a genuine artist. Despite our tight schedule to depart back to our individual homes, he managed to slot us in for a family portrait on a Saturday afternoon. We are incredibly grateful to have received his gracious hospitality. His professional demeanor and courteous approach made each member of our family feel at ease. Additionally, the quality of his work is superb, and we eagerly await the opportunity to frame it.
