TOP 10 PORTLAND LOCATIONS FOR A SENIOR SHOOT

there are lots of things to think about when it comes to your senior shoot: what to wear, time of year you want to shoot, time of day…but one really important thing is figuring out WHERE you want to shoot.

i generally start with a few options for my seniors and ask them if they prefer urban or nature and then go from there: some have an immediate preference and some need to think on it and some come back and say they want a mix of both.

in this post, i’m going to give examples of some great URBAN and NATURE spots for taking senior pics right here in portland cause sometimes its helpful to have a visual for what your senior session might like, whether thats under the canopies of forest park OR on the colorful streets of alberta arts district.

hopefully this post will give you some INSPIRATION about where you want to take YOUR senior pics!
