Pike Place Market
The neon sign, flower stalls and brick alleys bring big-city energy. Go early on a weekday, before the crowds.

The best senior photo locations in Seattle
Senior photos should look like the person you are this year. The best spots give you variety in one session — a little city, a little green, and light that flatters — without long drives between outfits.
Seattle puts skyline viewpoints, saltwater beaches, Japanese gardens and old industrial landmarks within twenty minutes of each other. The catch is crowds and changeable weather, so the best sessions pair one iconic spot with a quieter one nearby.
Seattle
Kerry Park
The postcard skyline with the Space Needle behind you. Best at sunset; on clear days Mount Rainier joins in.

Seattle
Gas Works Park
Rusted towers and a grassy hill above Lake Union. Edgy, editorial and very Seattle.

The UW Quad
In late March and early April the Quad turns pink. Come at sunrise on a weekday to have it nearly to yourself.

Golden Gardens Park
Sand, driftwood and sunsets over the Sound. Perfect for a relaxed second outfit.

A playful, only-in-Seattle stop for seniors who want some personality in the gallery.

Plan it like a photographer.
- Pick two spots close together, so outfit changes don't eat the session.
- Book the last ninety minutes before sunset. Midday sun is the hardest light for portraits.
- Bring one outfit that feels dressed up and one that feels like a regular Tuesday.
- Spring brings cherry blossoms and azaleas, and September into mid-October often has the warmest, driest light of the year.
