CREATIVE PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER IN PORTLAND, OREGON

Hi! I'm Alina Veksler, a creative portrait photographer based near Portland, Oregon. I provide professional photography and creative direction for those seeking unique, tailor-made sessions of high quality and artistry. My passion for the art of photography lies in capturing timeless, emotive imagery that blends cinematic inspiration with authentic self-expression. I work with individuals and businesses alike, creating strong visuals that tell personal stories and thoughtfully layer in brand mission and values.

Many of my clients are fellow creatives—artists, designers, models, musicians, actors, performers, and small business owners—who radiate their personalities and passions through images. Together, we craft tasteful portraits that evoke nostalgia, dream-like reality, and visual poetry. I also love working with anyone who wants to relive and forever cherish their stories through movie-like scenes, whether for intimate elopements, proposals, love stories, or everyday moments filled with meaning.

My projects range from simple to highly produced, indoors or outdoors, with natural or studio light, solo or with a full creative team. Each session is approached as a singular work of art—carefully guided from ideation to post-production—while leaving space for candid moments and genuine connection. A natural explorer, I'm always scouting stunning locations and dreaming up creative concepts, custom props, and unexpected details to elevate every shoot.

Let's create something timelessly emotive together. Inquire here to start planning your session.
