A private pastoral farm just 25 minutes from downtown Portland, offering expansive open space, mature trees, and a dramatic old-growth conifer backdrop. The property feels tucked away and secluded while remaining remarkably accessible from the city.
The back pasture is the heart of the property, with sweeping open space framed by towering conifers. It offers a natural, relaxed setting where children can run, explore, and simply be themselves—without the crowds, distractions, or strangers often found at public parks and popular photo locations. Reserving the property gives photographers and families the entire setting to themselves, making it easy to capture candid, natural moments and create beautiful images without unwanted people in the background.
Mature walnut trees add character, shade, and seasonal interest, while a young orchard featuring a variety of heritage fruit trees and a developing vineyard offer additional settings and textures. Photographers are also welcome to bring their own props, furniture, backdrops, or other set pieces to create a more styled look.
**Activities that work well here:**
The property is especially well suited for family, maternity, newborn, engagement, and lifestyle photography, as well as editorial, fashion, product, and commercial shoots. The expansive grounds provide plenty of room for children to play and families to interact naturally, while also accommodating more styled or editorial productions.
**Layout & different areas:**
The open back pasture provides a broad pastoral setting with towering conifers as a backdrop.
