I am Cyril.
based in portland, oregon, I am a proud bonny slope parent and part-time photographer.
Practicing architect (Licensed in Oregon, Washington and California,) enthusiast photographer (30+ years and counting.) Previous-life comic artist.... (for those who are interested, check out my creation "Onion Baby Comics" on FB.)
Most importantly, the proud parent of two young and active little monkeys.
I have been capturing my kids on camera since they were born. The spontaneous laughters, the curious gazes, the loving kisses, the food mess on their faces.... these are all the fleeting moments that I will cherish forever. Time flies so fast.
You might have seen me hanging out at Bonny Slope Elementary, capturing candid moments of our students for yearbook (I am on the yearbook committee. You could see a lot of my work in a few past editions.) This was my fourth year of taking photos at our Jogathon events. I just love capturing the raw emotions and energy of children in action.
To other parents who want to capture the precious moments they share with their children, I offer my photographic services on family-friendly budgets. I am not a commercial photographer. To me, the process of working with parents in a photo session is similar to designing architecture with a client, it's a collaborative process in which my role is simply to help bring their vision to life. I do not see this as a job, I see this as an experience that both of us enjoy and create together.
