north west portland
Home to some of the most beautiful and well-manicured public spaces in all of Portland, the North West has an arboretum, a rose garden, a fantastic zoo and some of the best views. We have traveled to this area so many times on our days off, just to soak up its beauty. Even if you are not joining us for a photo shoot, you should check these areas out for a fun day outdoors with the whole family. All areas are dog friendly!
