Professional Photography Studio. Gorgeous Event Space. Blank Slate.
Bring your vision to life at Studio Northwest.
Studio Northwest is a beautiful and bright space in NW Portland. Built with an eye for light, aesthetics, and functional design, our fully-equipped studio is the perfect backdrop for your creative vision. The space is ideal for photographers, videographers, business professionals, teachers, and workshop hosts looking to share their skill with ease.
I believe that the right environment helps creativity to thrive, that a blank slate is an essential starting point, and that when someone else focuses on the details you can be more present for the work you love. I know that natural light, flowing tea, and the comfort of a place well cared for go a long way.

ARTIST TALK no1. THE NEST PROJECT
Saturday, March 24th 7-10pm
​
The Nest project is artist, Debbie Baxter’s response to the ever-growing pain, injustice, devastation, and wounding in our culture. It is an expression of returning to home, safety, and to our innocence. It also gives people a transformative experience by allowing them to strip it all down, hop into The Nest, and be witnessed and photographed.
“The inspiration for building a nest came to me as a way to bring form and symbolism to my own personal journey. It was a personal quest for unconditional love and holding of my pain and wounds. It was built as a representation of HOME.
The mission with this project is to get as many people in The Nest as a way to show that when we strip it all down….we are all the same, we all have wounding, and have all come the same place no matter where we were born, the color of our skin, who we choose to love, and who we pray to.” ~ Debbie Baxter

Debbie Baxter is a woman of sincerity and passion. She has been making art in some form or another all her life and spent the majority of her adulthood as a mother, professional photographer, teacher, and inspiration to many.
