There’s something so special about senior photos in Seattle– adulthood and independence are just around the corner, but you still have some time at home to keep enjoy being a kid. It’s the perfect coming-of-age moment and I love seeing the confidence and poise these kids have. This golden hour session at Discovery Park in the early fall was so beautiful and the perfect mix of sophistication with playfulness.
Choosing Your Session Location
If you’re planning your own senior photos in Seattle, think about what feels most “you.” Do you love the outdoors, or do you light up in an urban setting with brick walls and city energy? Discovery Park works beautifully for anyone who wants a mix of nature, water views, and dramatic skies. We are so lucky that Seattle is packed with parks that offer many kinds of gorgeous backgrounds. I have so many ideas for where to have your session–all you need to do is tell me the vibe you want and I’ll handle the rest.
The Perfect Season
If you’re a 2027 senior, now is the time to book. Late August through early October gives us the best of both worlds in Seattle: warm, golden light without the harsh midday sun of July, plus the first hints of fall color starting to creep into the leaves. Whether you like a softer light, warm golden hour sun, or a moody and contrasty sun, I’ll help you plan your session so it’s exactly what you envision. And I’ll always do my best to help you choose a semi-private location so that we don’t have to constantly dodge people in the background or walking through our shots.
If you’re ready to plan your own senior portrait session, I’d love to help you choose the perfect location and timing to make your photos feel authentically you.
