Distinctive Photography, Rooted in Astoria

Mile Thirteen Photography brings the spirit of Astoria to life—raw, real, and full of heart. Located on the river’s edge, we capture the essence of this town and its people, turning everyday moments into something remarkable. Our work is a celebration of place—each image an exploration of Astoria's iconic landmarks, unique culture, and the quiet poetry of the Pacific Northwest.

Whether it’s the historic Astoria-Megler Bridge, the bustling waterfront, or the hidden gems tucked away in town, we tell stories through light, composition, and connection. Our landscape and still life collections are inspired by the rugged charm of Astoria and the surrounding region, offering fine art prints that bring the soul of this place into your home or business.

We also offer select pieces for consignment in local shops, galleries, and creative spaces, giving you the chance to share a piece of Astoria’s spirit with others.

From professional headshots to senior portraits and everything in between, we craft photography that feels true to the moment. Each session is tailored to who you are and what you’re about, with the goal of creating timeless images that reflect your personal story.

Our portrait, landscape, and still life services are available by appointment or online—just reach out to learn more.

Portraits

Our portrait photography service is all about capturing you at your best. In the studio, we’ll help you select the perfect backdrop, lighting, and pose to complement your style. More importantly, we’ll take the time to get to know you—because the best portraits come from a connection, not just a camera. Have a vision in mind? We’d love to bring it to life! Prefer to leave the creativity to us? We’re happy to design a concept that fits your personality and story.

Whether we’re shooting in our north coast based studio or outdoors, the stunning landscapes of the Pacific Northwest provide the perfect setting to reflect your individuality. We believe in building real connections with our clients—not just treating them as customers. Our goal is to create an experience that feels natural, fun, and truly you. We love what we do, and we’re endlessly inspired by the incredible people we get to photograph.

Landscapes

The Pacific Northwest offers a landscape like no other—but it’s Astoria that anchors our lens. Perched where river meets sea, this town’s rugged charm, shifting light, and storied history inspire every image we create. From the hush of mist over the Columbia to the golden glow slipping behind the hills, our photography captures the moods and moments that make this corner of the world feel like home.

Each piece is a love letter to the wild coastlines, forest trails, and river bends we know by heart. More than just landscapes, these images reflect a deep-rooted connection to place—our place.

Use the Landscape Gallery link up top explore the full collection. Whether you're a local seeking a familiar view or a traveler hoping to take home a piece of the coast, we invite you to browse, linger, and find the print that speaks to you.

Seniors

Senior portraits are one of the most meaningful sessions we offer—full of personality, story, and celebration. Whether you're drawn to a timeless studio look or prefer the freedom of an outdoor session in a location that means something to you, we’ll craft portraits that feel personal, honest, and full of life.

This chapter of your life is all about discovery and transformation. Your senior session should reflect that—your passions, your style, your spirit. Whether you're into the arts, sports, nature, or something totally your own, we’ll work together to design a shoot that’s uniquely you. Before we photograph a single frame, you’ll receive a creative questionnaire so we can understand your vision and tailor the experience from start to finish.
