I compiled a list of some of my favorite locations in or near Portland Oregon to photograph families, couples, maternity, baby photos, and elopements. I have given a more generic name to some places if I want to keep it more secret so my clients have photos that are more special 🙂 As much as I love photographing outdoors, I also really photographing in-home, especially during those cozy winter months, but really anytime. Home is where we are most relaxed and when we can be more ourselves and document your life now more naturally.
