Welcome to You Look Nice Today Photo's Blog!

Hi there! Let me be the first to welcome you to our photo blog. Who is behind this photography studio with the funny name? We are the husband and wife photography team of Ryan and Tiffany based in Portland Oregon. We are a fun and lovely couple who enjoy photographing fabulous weddings, fun families, and cute kiddos. Not only that but we also shoot a ridiculous amount of personal work. We are pretty laid back so kick back and take a look around. 


Want to know a little bit more about us?

Ryan is the lead 100% film photographer, loves him some indie rock, is an apple computer fanatic, and is a marriage and family therapist. 

Tiffany is the assistant 100% digital photographer, loves all things design, is a baker extraordinaire, and habla espanol.

You Look Nice Today Photography is not only a photography studio that we created, it's also a compliment and it's true.  

Thanks for dropping by. Cheers!

Alivia + Scott | Portland Oregon Wedding Photography

Introducing Alivia and Scott! They are honestly one of the nicest couples I’ve ever had the pleasure of photographing and totally and completely in love. For their engagement photography session we met down in Old Town Portland Oregon around Portland Saturday Market and then went down on to the waterfront.

So excited to be their wedding photographer this summer and have no doubt it will be as fun and laid back as they are.

Below are my favorites but to see the rest and purchase prints go here.

Enjoy!

Addie Wren at Home | Tualatin Oregon Family Photographer

Here they are! I’m so happy to share the photos from our more “formal” shoot with our new little girl. Newborn babies look pretty beat up when the come out so we waited a little while before we took these. Tiff did such an amazing job with her room I thought I’d feature all of the cute little details along with our little Addie Wren. I love every small little thing about newborn babies. Their little hands, feet, ears, and their soft soft skin. I really wanted to get it all with these photos.

Thank you all for the well wishes and help as we’ve brought this beautiful girl into the world. Many many many more photos to follow over the next 18 years or so. :)

Goodbye Travis

I don’t make it a secret that I’m a huge Portland Trailblazer fan. Tiff would probably say that I’m obsessed. Yesterday they made a trade that I was really happy about because in the short term it really improved our chances of making the playoffs in a very crowded western conference. The only bummer part is they traded away one of my favorite players, off the court at least. I’ve had the opportunity to chat with Travis Outlaw a couple times including at the event I shot for Adidas a little over a year ago which the photo below is from. He was the only somewhat famous person that I’ve met in real life that  was totally down to earth and willing to chat. Like really chat. We talked for about 15 minutes about Mississippi and his favorite things about living in the pacific northwest.

Even though he was traded to the lowly Los Angeles Clippers, it’s a contract year for him so I’m sure that he will sign with someone and finally get a contract that matches what he is worth.

Anyway, just thought I’d share and commiserate on Portland losing one of it’s nicest citizens.

Adeline’s Birth Story | Tualatin Oregon Family Photography

As many of you know our newest addition arrived on February 3rd at Meridian Park Hospital in Tualatin, Oregon. In capturing the day I really wanted to document every moment and every detail. I absolutely loved seeing the way that Jonathan Canlas captured “birth stories” so I set out to do something similar. Everything about the day was perfect and we now have a very sweet and wonderful little girl. It’s truly amazing how you can feel such love and affection for someone within a matter of seconds. I love our little Adeline Wren.

Many many more photos to follow including the color ones from this day and a more formal newborn photography session.

Life is so good right now.

Nichols Family – Beaverton Oregon Family Photographer

Introducing the Nichols family and baby Jack! I couldn’t have asked for more of a laid back newborn / family photography session, sweeter newborn, or a nicer couple. Not only that but they had the cutest dogs you’ve ever seen who actually posed for the camera. No joke. They stood perfectly still any time I put the camera on them.

Thanks again you guys!

A week in the life – The last week of pregnancy – Family Photojournalism

As I write this we are in the hospital waiting until our little girl is born so I thought I’d kill some time by posting my latest work. :)

I was recently thumbing through the photography books at Barnes & Nobel and came across a book that I found fascinating. Basically it was a photographers work who had documented the entire life of his children using a photojournalistic style. All of them were unposed and unplanned. He just kept his camera always by his side for when a moment happened. Looking through this book inspired me to document moments through a week in my family’s life. So the next several days I’ll be sharing small little events and moments that make up a typical week for us.

Today is a collection of photos from a moment of complete fatigue. Anyone that has experienced pregnancy or is close to someone that has knows exactly the way Tiff was feeling in her last week of being pregnant.
