Laila + Tim | Portland Portrait Photography
I’d like to introduce you to Laila and Tim. I had the pleasure of photographing these dapper folks this past weekend in Portland, Oregon. Both Laila and Tim live in Portland where they work in the coffee industry and fearlessly brave the mean streets of the town on their bikes. As you can see in this set of photos, they also make time for a little bit of book shopping and park strolling on the side.
Robin and I met up with Laila and Tim at Powell’s Bookstore on Burnside where we wandered through the labyrinth of books together. It was the perfect beginning to a great day. While it drizzled lightly outside, we took shelter in this amazing monument to all things bookish. It was a lot of fun and we think the photos really capture the easy mood of our afternoon in the stacks.

After our time at Powell’s, we headed to the nearby Washington Park to visit Hoyt Arboretum. The rain subsided and there were really great moments of sunshine and dramatic skies. The cherry trees were already in bloom and everything was lush and green. It was really beautiful and, of course, Laila and Tim looked fantastic and even braved some muddy slopes in their fancy duds.
