Let’s find your dream photoshoot spot!
One of the biggest questions I get from seniors and their parents is:
“Where should we take the photos?”
And the truth is — there’s no one right answer. The best location is the one that fits you. The place that matches your vibe, your style, and the story you want your photos to tell. Whether that means soft sand under your feet or bright murals behind you, I’m here to help you find it!
Here are five of the most popular senior photo locations — and what I love about each of them:
1. The Beach
If you’re a sunshine girl, love the salt air, or just feel most like yourself in the sand — the beach is always a favorite! We can catch golden hour lighting for soft, dreamy photos, splash in the waves, and capture that carefree, summery energy. Bring the flowy dress, the barefoot twirls, and maybe even a beach towel or surfboard to make it yours!
Why it’s a fave:
☀ Stunning sunsets
☀ Soft natural light and colors
☀ Playful and relaxed vibe
☀ Looks amazing year-round in Florida
2. The Lake
Want all the peaceful nature vibes without heading all the way to the coast? A beautiful lake location might be perfect. Think rustic docks, tall grasses, and glowy water reflections at sunset. You can dress it up with a flowy gown or go casual with jeans and boots — either way, the setting is calm, warm, and gorgeous.
Why seniors love it:
🌾 Tranquil, natural feel
🌾 A little more private than public beaches
🌾 Great variety with woods, water, and open sky
🌾 Perfect for dreamy, laid-back portraits
3. Urban/City Vibes
For the senior who wants something bold and stylish, let’s head into town! Urban spots are full of fun backdrops — from colorful murals and brick walls to cute coffee shops and modern architecture. This style gives your photos an edge and makes them look like they belong in a magazine.
Why it’s a hit:
🏙 Tons of variety in one place
🏙 Works great with trendy or fashion-forward outfits
🏙 Amazing for walking candids and personality-filled shots
🏙 Adds a cool, editorial look to your gallery
4. Parks and Green Spaces
You can’t go wrong with a beautiful park. From tree-lined paths to open fields and flower beds, parks give us so many spots to work with — and the light is usually perfect! They’re also super versatile, so you can bring a few outfits and get lots of different looks all in one place.
Why this one stays popular:
🌿 Classic and timeless setting
🌿 Soft backgrounds that keep the focus on YOU
🌿 Great for cap & gown photos, dresses, or casual looks
🌿 Family can tag along for a few quick group photos too!
5. Downtown/Cute City Areas
Think of this like a hybrid between urban and classic charm. Places like downtown Winter Park, St. Augustine, or smaller historic towns give us pretty streets, cool storefronts, charming corners, and lots of photo-worthy moments. You can dress it up or down — and everything just works.
Why seniors love it:
🏡 Picture-perfect details on every block
🏡 Tons of cute walking shots
🏡 Fun for bringing your besties or even your pup
🏡 Great combo of charm + character
So… how do you choose?
Here’s my advice:
Think about your personal style, your favorite outfits, and what kind of vibe feels most like YOU. Are you more coastal and flowy? City-chic and confident? Outdoorsy and earthy?
And don’t worry — I’m here to help you decide! When we plan your senior session, I’ll guide you through all your options and help you choose the perfect spot (or even two!). We’ll match your outfits to the location, make sure the lighting is just right, and create something totally unique to your story.
