How to Choose the Perfect Location for Your Senior Session


Location Matters

As you start thinking about your senior photo session, it's important to consider the location(s). The location you choose can greatly impact the overall feel of your photos. For example, if you want a more natural look, you might choose to have your photos taken in a local park, forest, or on a nature trail. If you're looking for a more urban feel, you might choose to have your photos taken in downtown Spokane with interesting architecture as your background. If you're looking for more candid shots, you might choose to have your photos taken in a location that's meaningful to you. Whatever location you choose, make sure it's a place you feel comfortable and where you'll be able to relax and be yourself.

Trust Your photographer

As a senior photographer for the last 10 years, I have many tried and true locations around the Spokane area. Time of day, season, lighting, and background are all variables that can greatly impact the overall look and feel of your final photos. I welcome your ideas and thoughts, but consider your photographer's expertise when finalizing your location plans.

Scroll through the samples below and get inspired for your senior session! I have shot in these locations many times over and love the character, texture, color, and timelessness of these backgrounds. The sample images are all featuring Class of 2023 seniors!
