Cathedral Park is an amazing location in Portland Oregon for family photos. There are the iconic vista’s under the bridge itself, but the neighborhood also has a few surprises which give fun urban backdrops.

This type of industrial backdrop is a great neutral for creating images to hang in your home!

A shipping container provides a colorful backdrop and has some extra meaning for this expatriate family who loves travel.

And their pup Ollie even came for some photos too!! Dogs just pull out the extra love in family photos!

Cathedral Park also has a huge grassy area for running and enjoying the St. Johns bridge from afar.

A favorite family blanket is a useful accessory for your family photo session!

We thought it may be a bit chilly during their session so the family brought along this awesome grey blanket, which provided some much needed warmth and also looks great in the photos too!

I’m so thankful to have had this amazing family of four (plus their pup) in front of my lens for a photo session before their relocation to a new home outside of Portland. Moving can be a quite stressful time, but it’s important to take the time to celebrate together the place you’ve been living, and where your kids were born. It will provide a great moment to look back on as your kids grow, and to celebrate your time in a location.

If you’re moving, please reach out no matter your time constraints, and we will make a memorable photo session happen for you and your loved ones!!
