Forest Grove - Hillsboro - Beaverton

Home to Wag to My Heart Portrait studio, we have explored many areas in our surrounding neighborhood. All locations have the paws of approval by our own pack of Ollie and Teddy. Most of the time they get to be our test models for new places and are constantly rewarded with treats and toys.. With so many parks and animal friendly locations on the West side, we have only listed our favorites. Each provides its own charm and opportunities and are great locations for photo sessions.
