A Lifelong Love Affair With Seattle
Shannon Beauclair grew up in Bellevue — and Seattle was always where the action was. From childhood adventures at the Fun Forest and family visits to the Space Needle, to cheering on the Seattle Sounders with season tickets and watching her son walk the halls of the University of Washington — Seattle has been woven into the fabric of Shannon's life for as long as she can remember.
Today, her kids call Seattle home. And that lifelong connection to this city shows in every portrait session she creates here. Shannon doesn't just know Seattle's iconic landmarks — she knows its soul. The way the light hits Discovery Park at golden hour. The dramatic energy of Pioneer Square's historic architecture. The vast, wild beauty of Lincoln Park overlooking the Puget Sound. She brings that intimate knowledge and genuine love of this city to every session, creating portraits that feel authentically, powerfully Seattle.

Seattle Portrait Locations
Seattle offers some of the most breathtaking and diverse portrait locations in the Pacific Northwest — a unique combination of bold urban energy and vast natural beauty that creates images unlike anywhere else in the world.
Discovery Park — Seattle's largest park at 534 acres offers an extraordinary variety of landscapes — from dramatic bluffs overlooking the Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains to forest trails, meadows, and a historic lighthouse. The sheer scale and natural beauty of Discovery Park creates portraits with a wild, editorial quality that is uniquely Pacific Northwest. Perfect for senior portraits, family sessions, maternity photography, and women's empowerment portraits.
Golden Gardens — This beloved Seattle beachfront park offers stunning views of the Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains, golden sandy beaches, and beautiful natural light that is truly magical at golden hour. One of Shannon's favorite locations for maternity portraits, senior photos, and family sessions — the combination of water, mountains, and Pacific Northwest sky creates images that are breathtaking in every season.
Lincoln Park — Perched above the Puget Sound in West Seattle, Lincoln Park offers dramatic saltwater shoreline, old-growth forest trails, and sweeping views that create a sense of wild, untamed beauty. A stunning and often overlooked location for senior portraits, family sessions, and women's empowerment photography.
Gas Works Park — One of Seattle's most iconic and photographically distinctive locations. The juxtaposition of industrial ruins against the backdrop of Lake Union and the Seattle skyline creates bold, editorial images with a uniquely urban Pacific Northwest feel. Perfect for personal branding sessions, senior portraits with an edgy urban aesthetic, and creative portrait work.
Pioneer Square — Seattle's historic neighborhood offers cobblestone streets, stunning brick architecture, dramatic arches, and an urban energy unlike anywhere else in the city. An extraordinary location for executive headshots, personal branding sessions, and senior portraits that demand attention.
