Location, Location, Location!

When it comes to choosing the location for your senior photo session, there are many options to consider depending on your personal preferences and style.

One popular location for senior photos is a natural outdoor setting, such as a park, botanical garden, hiking trail or the beach. These locations provide a beautiful backdrop of greenery, water, or other natural elements that can add depth and interest to your photos.

Another option is an urban setting, such as a city street, alleyway, or graffiti wall. These locations add a modern and edgy feel to your photos and are great for seniors looking for a more alternative style. They also offer plenty of opportunities for creative shots, such as capturing reflections in windows or playing with the lighting and shadows.

If you’re looking for a more unique location, consider a place with personal meaning. This could be a location that holds special memories, such as a childhood home or a favorite hangout spot, or a place that represents your interests or hobbies, such as a sports field or music venue.

Ultimately, the best location for your senior photo session depends on your style and preferences. It’s important to choose a location that reflects your personality and interests and that will make you feel comfortable and confident during your photo session.

Below are some examples of locations to consider for your shoot. If you want more than one, some locations are great to pair together. Let’s figure out what’s best for you!

Horsethief Canyon Park – San Dimas

Think country rustic: open fields, wooden fences, tall overgrown grasses, trails and beautiful blooms in the spring.

Bonelli Park, Puddingstone Lake – San Dimas

This beautiful regional park has water, trees, and bright yellow flowers in the spring…it is a beautiful natural space.

Cal Poly Pomona

This campus has fantastic Japanese and Rose Gardens not far from each other, as well as buildings with brick and metal architecture for a more urban look.

Scripps College – Claremont

This beautiful campus has a Mediterranean feel with stunning courtyards, rose gardens, classic architecture, arches, wooden doors and more. Such a great variety here.

CHINO CREEK WETLANDS

This spot has a mix of urban metal structures, nature, water, and trails. It’s a well-rounded location for different looks.

Claremont Train Station & Packing House

This location has a great mix of classic architecture, railroad tracks, greens, and an urban vibe, all within a couple of blocks in downtown Claremont.

Downtown Glendora & Azusa

Both of these towns have great downtown areas with bright colors, brick, art and textures. The Glendora mural is a must in this location.

THE LAB ANTI MALL – COSTA MESA

This location has very cool, fun, urban, and unique backgrounds! It’s in Costa Mesa and is a great spot to combine with the beach about 15 minutes away.

The Beach

This one is pretty self-explanatory. The beach is beautiful, classic, fun and OH SO California! You just can’t go wrong with this location in So. Cal.

Surprise me!

Some of my favorite shoots have been in spots that my clients are familiar with, but I would never have access to (private homes, buildings) or spots that are special to them that I have never come across. I am game for anything!
