Mercer Island Portrait Locations
Some of My Favorites
Luther Burbank Park — One of the most breathtaking portrait locations in the entire Puget Sound region. This beloved Mercer Island landmark offers sweeping views of Lake Washington, sun-dappled forest trails, a pebble shoreline, and expansive lawns that create endlessly varied and stunning backdrops. Whether you're capturing a family's warmth at water's edge, a senior's free spirit in the meadow, or a woman's quiet strength beneath the canopy of old growth trees — Luther Burbank Park delivers portrait magic in every season.
Mercer Island Community & Event Center — The architectural elegance and beautifully landscaped grounds surrounding Mercer Island's Community and Event Center offer a polished, sophisticated backdrop perfect for executive headshots, personal branding sessions, and family portraits that have a refined, timeless quality. The clean modern lines and curated outdoor spaces photograph with a quiet confidence that mirrors the Mercer Island aesthetic itself.
I-90 Lid Park & Aubrey Davis Park — A hidden gem that most people overlook, this unique park built atop the I-90 freeway tunnel offers wide open green spaces, dramatic sky views, and a striking urban-meets-nature energy that creates genuinely one-of-a-kind portrait images. For seniors, personal branding clients, and families who want something bold and unexpected — this location delivers images that truly stand apart.

A Photographer Who Understands the Mercer Island Standard
Hi, I'm Shannon! I am a milestone portrait, business branding, and headshot photographer.
Mercer Island is one of the most distinctive communities in Washington State — an island enclave that quietly sets the standard for privacy, elegance, and intentional living. Shannon Beauclair has been photographing Mercer Island families, executives, and seniors for years, and she deeply understands what this community values: authenticity, artistry, and an experience that honors your time and trust.
Mercer Island clients aren't looking for cookie-cutter portraits. They want images that feel genuine, carry emotional weight, and are beautiful enough to become the art that defines their home. That is exactly what every Beauclair Photography session is designed to deliver — from the initial Discovery Call through your private image reveal. Whether Shannon is capturing a Islander High School senior's personality at Luther Burbank Park, creating a cohesive personal branding library for a Mercer Island entrepreneur, or photographing a multigenerational family with Lake Washington as their backdrop — every image is crafted with the precision of an award-winning artist and the warmth of someone who genuinely cares.
Mercer Island's Professional Community — Executive Headshots & Personal Branding
Mercer Island is home to a quietly impressive professional community — CEOs, attorneys, physicians, tech executives, entrepreneurs, and established business owners who have chosen this island for its proximity to Seattle and Bellevue without sacrificing privacy or quality of life. In a world where your digital presence is your first handshake, Mercer Island professionals deserve headshots and personal branding photography that communicate excellence before a single word is spoken.
Beauclair Photography creates cohesive personal branding libraries built for LinkedIn profiles, company websites, speaking bios, press kits, podcast appearances, and social media — images that tell your professional story with authority and authenticity. Our boutique studio in downtown Kirkland is just minutes from Mercer Island via the I-90 bridge, and we also offer on-location corporate headshot sessions at your Mercer Island office or preferred location.
