There is a secret spot I love outside of Ashland, Oregon up in the foothills that looks over the Rogue Valley. It is simply a stunning and breathtaking backdrop!
The Rampton family and I took to the foothills to capture some sweet moments of them all together before their son heads off to college! I just love the golden meadow, leaves on the oak trees, and how the sun hits the mountains as it fades away. I always surprise people when we go here because this spot is only ten minutes outside of town! It is quiet, private and every direction I photograph from has something incredible to offer!
I will recommend this spot over and over again! I think the images speak for themselves with why I will do that!
