Full sun, bold walls, and a vision for color-driven creativity—this Outdoor Adventure session was everything a summer shoot should be. We hit two iconic Eastside Portland walls (yes, the rainbow and that yellow one) to create a playful, stylish, and vibrant collection of images that capture individuality, movement, and pure joy. Keep reading to see how we styled the shoot, embraced the light, and co-created magic—with just a few props and a whole lot of personality.

Location Matters (and These Ones Delivered)

When you book an Outdoor Adventure photography session with me, you’re not just getting pretty pictures in nature—you’re getting a location tailored to your brand or vibe. For this session, we wanted color and creativity. We landed on two bold walls in Portland’s Eastside: a vibrant rainbow mural and a rich yellow backdrop that played beautifully with outfit changes and lighting. These settings gave us both contrast and cohesion, offering a ton of variety within one session.

Styling + Planning = Pure Visual Impact

Before the shoot, we coordinated outfit colors and textures that would stand out against our chosen walls. I brought along a few creative tools and accessories to help shape light and add dimension to the shots—things like prisms, fabric, and mirror reflections that let us play with the summer sun instead of fighting it. Planning this way gives your photos intention without looking staged. It’s all about personality meeting prep.

Harsh Light, But Make It Magic

Most of this session was shot entirely in full, direct sunlight—something many photographers avoid, but I love to embrace when done right. Harsh light gives a unique punch to the final gallery, creating rich contrast and bold shadows that feel cinematic and editorial. It’s proof that you don’t have to chase golden hour to get show-stopping results.

A Session That Feels Like You

This Outdoor Adventure shoot wasn’t just a portrait session—it was a creative collaboration. We wanted photos that felt bold, playful, and elevated, while still showcasing the subject’s authentic energy. Every pose, every movement, every color was chosen to reflect the moment and her vibe. That’s what Outdoor Adventure is all about—capturing the essence of you in a way that feels expressive, not performative.

Client Love

“Morgan is an incredibly talented, incredibly sweet person, and I would highly recommend booking a shoot with her if you have the opportunity to. I am very lucky to have gotten a couple of opportunities to work with her and both times it was a blast. I loved the shoot itself as well as the final product. She’s wonderful! Five stars for Morgan!”
