Each year, I maybe take 1-2 senior portrait sessions. And this is my public announcement that I want more! These are so fun + celebrating such a huge milestone in life. Emilie wanted to get the best of both worlds for her photos: an urban feel, and the Oregon beauty. Thankfully, Portland gives us the best access to all types of backdrops.

Between a neighborhood in the industrial North Portland area + the ever-perfect Hoyt Arboretum, we only had about a 10-minute drive to get from each location. Oregon also surprised us with lots of sun on a cold, winter day.

Enjoy these heckin’ gorgeous photos + tell all the students graduating to hit me up and we’ll make some magic celebrating them! With my day job in state financial aid supporting students, these type of photo sessions really warm my heart.
