You might be wondering why I love this park on Mercer Island so much for senior photo sessions. Below are my reasons with different senior photos taken there over the last few years.

Amazing Waterfront Views

The park is located along the shores of Lake Washington, providing stunning waterfront views. Incorporating the lake into the background of senior portraits can add a serene and timeless quality to the photos.

Gorgeous Light

The park’s open spaces allow for ample natural light, which is ideal for capturing soft and flattering portraits. The play of sunlight filtering through the trees or reflecting off the water can create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Senior photos mark a significant milestone in a person’s life – the completion of high school or college. It’s a celebration of academic achievements and the transition to a new chapter. The photo session will be for seniors to look back on their journey, growth, and accomplishments throughout their educational years. It’s an opportunity for individuals to feel special, appreciated, and recognized for their accomplishments. This can contribute positively to their self-esteem.
