He is great to work with and takes his time to ensure his photographs represent the remodel in the best light. We plan to use him on all of our large remodels moving forward and highly recommend him. **★★★★★ — Noel Howell, Feb. 2015** > Paul's knowledge of lighting and staging makes him my first choice in the industry for photography. Paul is well rounded and well established in the community and his heart is really in his work. > > If you're looking for a fantastic photographer at a fair price with more skills that just taking pictures - I would absolutely recommend Paul Sivley Photography! **Comment from Paul Sivley:** > Noel > I so appreciate the trust you have placed in my creative offerings. I have loved working with you to advance your business interests! Paul **★★★★★ — rushlori, Jan. 2015** > There are so many photographers out there that it’s hard to find a really good one! Paul Sivley is a true artist; his photography is breathtaking…and he takes very good professional photos. I was in need of a professional head shot for my website, linkedIn page and other marketing tools, I contacted Paul. He spent the time to get to know me, the uses for my photo, my expectations and had numerous questionnaires in order to capture “me.” When I arrived at the studio, he was playing my favorite music, which totally relaxed me. What a wonderful experience! I loved the results and had a hard time narrowing down; there were so many good photos. I ended up selecting two photos and love them both! I highly recommend Paul Sivley of Paul Sivley Photography. **★★★★★ — Handyman Matters of Portland, Dec. 2014** > Although the projects we have worked on together have not made it to the front cover of Paul's webpage or Houzz profile, we are extremely pleased with the professionalism Paul has brought to our photography needs. His attention to detail, exhaustive energy and keen eye for quality shots has brought life to our small projects. Paul's photos have helped my company's marketing efforts tremendously. He has pushed us out of our comfort zone and into a place that has proven to be more relevant to today's consumer. > > As far as we are concerned, there is not a better choice for quality real estate photography in the local area. We'd not only use Paul again, we'd use him exclusively. **Comment from Paul Sivley:** > Kory: It's a pleasure to help contribute to the growth of your business through quality imagery. Many thanks for placing your trust in me. **★★★★★ — Cylina Sanchez, Dec. 2014** > Paul Sivley photographed remodel project that we worked on that was featured in the 2014 Tour of Remodeled Homes. It's no wonder that many of the better outfits in town use the services of Paul Sivley. He had the eye needed to get the right shot and the right equipment. His lighting is top of the line and makes all the difference in the outcome. > > Paul is a great photographer and full of heart and integrity. **★★★★★ — User, Nov. 2014** > As the owner of an interior design firm, we need professional photography of projects. Paul Sivley came highly recommended. He specializes in Architecture. I have interviewed a number of photographers, and when I interviewed Paul, I was impressed with his work and level of dedication. That being said, we are hiring Paul to shot our newest space to submit for competition. We are looking forward to working with him to get those perfect shots! **★★★★ — BC Custom Construction, Oct. 2013** > Paul worked with us on our 2013 Street of Dreams home. He was able to capture the unique details and craftsmanship that went into the home. From the exterior to the interior he illustrated the feel and look of the home through his photos. Paul really pays attention to the materials and finishes used within a space. **★★★★★ — Double J Construction Inc dba Double J Renovations, Oct. 2013** > Paul photographed a home where we had remodeled several rooms. He handled the photo shoot directly with the client and captured the individual rooms with various angles and attention to detail. He gave us both print photos and web photos, which saved us time as we use them for various marketing methods. We were pleased with the photos and the client was very happy to receive quality prints of the work they hired us to perform. **★★★★★ — THE Remodel Group, Sept. 2013** > I have worked with Paul as the photographer for several of my larger remodeling projects. He is the ultimate professional with the right equipment and knowledge to get the job done. One thing I like about Paul is the number of shots he takes. He doesn't miss an angle or a lighting combination which gives me the opportunity to match up my before pictures for my marketing. Thanks so much Paul, I hope to have another project for you to shoot soon. > > Steve Klingerman > Designer/Builder > THE Remodel Group > www.TheRemodelGroup.com **★★★★ — AV Awakenings, Sept. 2013** > Paul was really great to work with on an interior photography project that we recently completed in Lake Oswego. He was efficient, easy to coordinate with and respectful of the client's home and furnishings. The photo shoot was completed on time and on budget - we would recommend him! **★★★★★ — Pamela Sandall, Feb. 2013** > I hired Paul to take professional headshots of me. We combined my sitting with my son's senior pictures as I couldn't get him to sit for them any other way! > > Paul was lovely to work with. Relaxing for the teenage boy: very casual and laid back. For me he was reassuring to be with. As someone who doesn't like having their photo taken, it was relief to have the task completed in non-threatening and comfortable environment. > > One note: When he sent me my proofs, he had a couple of favorites. While they weren't the shots I would have chosen for myself, he said he liked them best as he felt the represent my personality. I thought that was great advice and his selections tends to be everyone's favorite! So if you use him for a headshot, be sure to ask HIS favorite! **★★★★★ — Judith Jones Interiors, Feb. 2013** > I have been the designer on several remodeling projects that Paul has photographed. He has a clear understanding of what is needed to show the space in the best way possible. I have also had business head shots done by Paul, that I am equally pleased with. ## Selected projects - [Kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchens-pj-vj~163394) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 40 - Description: A variety of images from several projects of different kitchens selected to show the importance of great lighting in capturing architectural images.
