LAYERS OF LOVE

Hello, I'm Iris, the photographer behind Light By Iris Photography. Based in Portland, Oregon, I travel worldwide to create meaningful images that capture the essence of each family.

As an extreme introvert, married to a musician, and a mother of two incredible kids, photography is my creative outlet and my way of connecting with the world. I'm passionate about shooting anywhere, at any time of day, and I'm especially inspired by new and unfamiliar locations, embracing all kinds of light.

My work is deeply influenced by the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-sabi, which guides me in finding beauty in imperfection and transience. My goal is to create images that evoke emotions and nostalgia, transporting viewers back to a specific time and place. Through my photos, I hope to share the feelings I experience while capturing these moments.
