As I’m planning fall mini session dates to send out to my VIP list later this week, I wanted to share a session from last year’s event: these forest family photos! Tucked away and quiet, but easily accessible, this location offered a winding path through an Oregon forest. It’s lovely when the sun shines through the trees, but just as magical on a foggy morning like this one was! I loved that we were able to capture these in just a quick 15 minute mini session–you can learn more about my Portland mini sessions here.

The thing I really love about forest family photos is that they remind me so much of all the hikes my family and I have always loved. Does your family love hiking or just taking nature walks together too?

And did we have their dog with us? Yes, yes we did. I adore family photos that include your pup! If you want all the details on how to include your dog in your family photos this year, pop over to this post.
