Easily one of my most favorite spots in Portland! I have been coming to this park since I was in college and living in Portland (so long ago!) and really enjoy doing sessions here.
Mt. Tabor has epic Portland views, the tallest trees with cute paths, spring time brings about gorgeous rhododendrons and in the fall it feels cozy and very PNW vibes!
I adore this sweet family that I've been able to photograph a few times, first one being when she was just a little baby! I also happen to be the biggest fan of the husband's restaurant, Ranch! If you don't know Ranch, you better go asap and grab a pizza slice!
I'm grateful to have captured these three together again with all the fall Pacific NW gloominess, trees and trails of Mt. Tabor! (P.S. peak at the daughter's outfit! It is truly the best! She is very into cats these days and wanted to wear her cat print clothes!)
