Cathedral Park Neighborhood Family Lifestyle Photography Session Feature
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.
And in case you were wondering if your kids can climb and have fun at their session, just keep looking below at the many climbing photos!
A few quick individual portraits of the kids…
Then it’s time for some fun and laughter…
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.
Next we headed down to the Willamette river front under the bridge for more exploring.
No one can resist throwing some rocks into the river!
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.
