One of my favorite parks in Portland will always be Mt Tabor. It’s also one of my favorite senior photo locations in Portland. It’s easy to get to, popular but still large enough to find some private spots, and it’s beautiful.

I’ve been walking around Mt Tabor since before moving to Portland. My parents lived in Portland prior to me and it’s always been a spot we would walk the dog or visit on the weekends. Once I moved to Portland I lived down the street for several years and I quickly found favorite nooks to visit and learned how the light hit certain areas throughout the day. It’s this knowledge of the park that I now use whenever I’m photographing there whether it’s a senior session, wedding, or family photos.

Mt Tabor can be a standalone location for senior photos, especially if you’re just needing a few yearbook shots, or it can be paired with another location if you’ve booked a larger session and you’re wanting a mix of different settings in your senior photos. 

Below are some Mt Tabor senior photos that I’ve shot recently that I think show what the park has to offer and how it might work for your senior pictures in Portland.
