Peninsula Rose Garden Park 

Sabine & Charlie (+Milo)

There is nothing quite like summer in Portland, Oregon—especially when the historic Peninsula Park Rose Garden is in full, vibrant bloom. Photographing Sabine and Charlie alongside their adorable 8-month-old son, Milo, on a sun-drenched summer day was absolute magic from start to finish.

With thousands of colorful roses lining the brick pathways and the iconic central fountain serving as a timeless backdrop, the garden provided the ultimate setting for a relaxed, candid family session. Little Milo was all smiles soaking in the sunshine, sniffing the blossoms, and sharing sweet giggles with his parents. The afternoon light filtering through the garden made every moment feel bright, warm, and full of joy.
