Senior Portraits on Lake Washington: Celebrating Lexi’s Next Chapter

High school senior portrait sessions are at their best when they capture both who a student is right now and where they are headed next. For Lexi, a high school senior and dedicated soccer player who will be playing at the collegiate level next year, we wanted a session that balanced classic portraiture with subtle nods to her athletic passion.

We started the afternoon at the Bellevue Botanical Gardens, using the lush greenery and manicured pathways as a backdrop for family portraits. Getting family members together during a senior shoot is always a great way to ease into the process. We took a mix of full family groups, shots of Lexi with her siblings, and then transitioned into individual portraits of Lexi as the garden light filtered through the trees.

Overlook Walk Park Senior Portraits | Sterling

After a brief moment at UW, I met Sterling and his mom at the Pier 62 at the Seattle Waterfront just a few steps away from the new Overlook Walk Park. The Overlook Walk is a stunning addition that makes a beautiful space for photographs. It also works well as a way to get from Pike Place Market to the Waterfront, Pier 62 and the Aquarium. Part of it actually sits right on top of the new Aquarium expansion. Anyway, it was a beautiful evening with an amazing sunset that made for some truly stunning senior portraits for Sterling.

Seattle Senior Portraits | Angelino

I met Angelino and his mom at Pike Place Market in Seattle for his senior portraits. Angelino goes to Bothell High. We did some in front of the sign, before working our way down to the waterfront. There we hit all the favorites with Pier 62, the Aquarium, and the great wheel before heading to the rooftop of a nearby parking garage to finish off. I love being able to be creative and work with unusual light even if it is smoky orange.

Seattle Senior Portraits at Myrtle Edwards Park | Jacob

I met Jacob at Myrtle Edwards Park for his senior portraits. We took some images at Pocket Beach before we walked through the edge of the Olympic Sculpture Park. Then we went to the rooftop deck of Bell Harbor and Pier 66. On the way back, we stopped and tried to create some 90’s inspired images with some teal and red lighting.

Seattle Senior Portraits | Robert

I met Robert and his parents at the Seattle waterfront. I first met them when I did Robert’s older brother’s senior portraits a couple of years ago. You can see Jack’s drumming portraits here.

With Robert, we worked on some images at the waterfront, then he changed clothes and we moved up into the city for some night portraits in the light rain and near-freezing temperatures.
