This Damascus Oregon Family is smitten with their new puppy. And this created the perfect opportunity for these parents to capture some beautiful (and extremely cute) family portraits with their boys and their new pet. The entire family is also involved in the Valley Premier Soccer league, which plays and practices on the fields at the Deep Creek Elementary School in Damascus, Oregon. So we met on the soccer field, where an incredible view of Mount Hood at sunset provided the perfect, warmly-lit background for their family portraits.

There are many reasons why you should consider having portraits of your family taken by a professional photographer when a new puppy or kitten enters your lives. One of the most compelling reasons to have these portraits taken is that they will help you create a lasting memory of your family at this moment in time. Just like a newborn child, our pets grow quickly. As time passes and your children grow older, family portraits give you a tangible ability to look back and remember the love, laughter, and joy that you shared. And you will be able to see how your children and your puppy or other pets have grown and changed over time.

And, as any pet owner knows, we aren’t just talking about cats and dogs, our pets are family members in their own right. And they too deserve to have their portraits hanging on the walls of our homes. In addition to creating lasting memories, professional family portraits offer a sense of connection and belonging that is difficult to replicate in any other way. By capturing the unique personality and spirit of each family member (including our pets), family portraits will help you remember the bonds that hold you together, and the love that keeps you connected. Whether it’s the playful energy of your new puppy or the mischievous smile of your child, family portraits will help you feel connected to your loved ones, even when they are not physically present.

Of course, the location of your portrait session is also an important consideration, and there are few places more beautiful than Damascus, Oregon at sunset with Mount Hood in the background. With its sweeping vistas and stunning natural beauty, this location is the perfect backdrop for your family portraits. And with the right photographer, you can capture the majesty of the mountain and the warmth of the setting sun in a way that is truly breathtaking.

Today, these family portraits have been transformed into stunning metal prints that hang above the staircase and are enjoyed every day in their home.

Professional quality photographs offer a level of depth and beauty that is simply not possible with amateur or smartphone photography. With the right lighting, composition, and editing, a professional photographer can transform a simple moment into a work of art that will stand the test of time. And when it comes to capturing your family and your new puppy, there are few things more valuable than a stunning, professional portrait that captures the essence of your family and the joy of this new addition.
