2023 Fall Family Photo Session Details

2023 Fall Family sessions will take place mid-August through early December weekdays and limited weekend dates. 

August is perfect for sunflowers, fields of green and warm sunshine. In September, the weather is still warm and sunsets are still magical. Flowers are in bloom in fields and local farms. September weather is still pretty predictable. October is a great time for those that love fall color still on the trees. The timing of peak fall color does change year to year, but mid October is typically the best time for fall leaves. The weather is still pretty nice, especially in early October. November is a great time for photos for those that love leaves on the ground, warmer and cozier outfits and lots of snuggles with your loved ones. Christmas Tree farms are so much fun in November and December for holiday photos! No matter what month you choose, Oregon is beautiful in the Fall!

PORTLAND FAMILY PHOTO LOCATION IDEAS

Sherwood Area: I love the Tualatin River Wildlife Refuge. It has large open fields, beautiful trees and the sun goes down in the perfect spot. Old Town Sherwood is fun for a more urban look with so many great background textures. Stella Olson is another great Sherwood option.

Southwest Metro Area: Cooper Mountain Nature park is beautiful with large fields and the perfect sunset. George Rogers Park is an awesome location with brick, a bridge, trees and the lake. Jenkins Estate is great when the leaves start to turn and peek fall color. Cook Park is lovely when the leaves start to turn with a dock on the river. TIGARD/TUALATIN/BEAVERTON/LAKE OSWEGO

Portland Metro Area: Cathedral Park is a fun location under the bridge and by the river. Sauvie Island has several location options as well. Fort Vancouver and the Vancouver waterfront are beautiful areas across the river. Reed College has amazing fall colors.

HOLIDAY PHOTO LOCATION IDEAS

Sherwood Area: Old Town Sherwood with the lighted trees is a great option. Also, Sleighbells in Sherwood is my go to Christmas Tree farm.

Southwest Metro Area: Bridgeport shopping area provides a great urban vibe with beautiful Christmas decorations. George Rogers Park is beautiful all year round.

Portland Metro Area: The Pearl District is beautiful with lighted trees and beautiful urban backgrounds. Cathedral Park is also beautiful all year round.

I have several other favorites, so just ask!!
