Abigale is an aspiring artist, and I’m pretty sure she’s Cleveland High School’s biggest Tim Burton fan!

She was looking for something a bit creative — I think “funky” was the term she used — for her high school senior portraits.So we set out to make it happen. We started with a dragon mural that we found on the back of a Chinese grocery store in Southeast Portland.

From there we headed to a nearby park for some more “traditional” images complete with her fedora hat and sketchbook.

And then we trecked into a fairy tale grove of ferns and forests for the final shots before the sun went down. Standing around the woods in a dress in mid November isn’t the most comfortable experience, but Abigale is a trooper and we had a blast despite the cold weather!
