At the southwest corner of 16th & Tacoma, our garden surrounds the 1908 Old Portland Foursquare we call home. It’s not just where we live—it’s where we work, dream, and create. As artists and entrepreneurs, we’ve woven our lives into this space, which also hosts our real estate office and short-stay lodging.Around the house, you’ll find a compact but deeply visual garden, designed to serve both as a sanctuary and a setting. It’s filled with textural plantings and sculptural backdrops that help create atmosphere for portraits, entertaining, and everyday inspiration. Plants are chosen not just for their beauty, but for how they interact with light and shadow—like the wall of bamboo, climbing hydrangea, and the collection of several vines that soften our studio walls.A striking ginkgo tree rises in front of vintage shiplap boards, salvaged from a deconstructed neighboring home. Ferns—especially evergreen varieties—are another personal favorite, adding movement and life through Portland’s gray seasons. Much of the backyard is shaded by custom-built plexi rooftops that provide beautiful, diffused light for photography and plant life alike.This is a lived-in garden, shared with clients, friends, neighbors, and the occasional butterfly. We’re Kim Campbell, HPSO board member, and Francisco Salgado—and we’d love to welcome you for a visit.
