Autumn in Portland // Family session on film

by Erin in family, film

In late September, I roadtripped over to Portland for a long weekend of photographing families, amaaazing food (still dreaming about my brunch at Broder), & visits with friends, old & new.

My time with these 3 was a personal highlight of my time there – so relaxed & playful, like old friends! It was non-stop, with the soon to be big brother at the helm, and I’m pretty sure I had a smile plastered on my face the entire time. After our sesh, I walked over for a solo coffee and beautiful pastry at Coquine and some people watching. (You can check out a few personal snaps from day on IG here!)

If you are in Portland and are interested in a shoot with me, please don’t hesitate to reach out for a chat!
