SEATTLE SENIOR PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

Now! The best time to book your Class of 2027 senior portraits is in spring or early summer of your junior year — before peak demand fills the calendar. Shannon takes a limited number of luxury senior sessions each year to ensure every client receives a fully personalized experience. Spring sessions in April-June offer beautiful Pacific Northwest light and blooming locations. Summer sessions in July-August are ideal for golden hour and outdoor settings. Book your discovery call early to secure your preferred date.

Beauclair Photography offers an award-winning luxury senior portrait experience that goes far beyond a standard photo session. Every detail is handled for you — from the pre-session style consultation to professional hair and makeup artistry, guided posing, and a private image reveal. Shannon specializes in editorial-quality work, meaning your senior photos look like they belong in a magazine, not a school directory. We also offer optional senior portrait videos, Italian-crafted wall art with a lifetime warranty, and custom leather albums. For families in Seattle, Kirkland, Bellevue, and the Eastside looking for a premium, one-of-a-kind experience, there is simply nothing like it in the Pacific Northwest.

That is up to YOU. The beauty of a SENIOR PORTRAIT Experience, is that YOU get to dictate the style of your shoot.

About 2 to 3 weeks before your session we have your style and planning call and discuss locations, shot list and wardrobe. My clients are welcome to wear anything from my studio wardrobe.

It depends on the collection you are wanting to purchase, but I always tell my clients to allow for 4 hours. Hair and makeup (if applicable) usually takes 90 minutes and with multiple outfit and background/lighting changes our shooting time is typically 2+ hours (allowing time for changing and fun!)

What you spend is up to you!

My imaged collections start at $1690 (8 images) with my average editorial senior portrait client opting for the 25+ image Collections and Wall Art. The more you buy, the price per image goes down.

Wall Art starts at $875 and has a Lifetime Warranty. Wall Art and collections come from Italy and are custom-made for each client. I want your print products to last a lifetime and beyond and only use museum-quality print products.

I schedule ordering appointments the week following your photo session. This is typically between 1 to 3 days after your senior portrait session. This is when you view your images, choose your collection and print products and pay for the collections you choose for your images.

That is totally up to YOU. My custom senior portrait session packages start at 8 images and go up from there.

Most senior sessions get 25+ images and a custom album.

You finalize your print products at your ordering appointment, within a week of your photoshoot. Most seniors purchase custom Italian lay flat albums and Wall Art. I have my samples in my studio for you to see to ensure that you choose the best products to showcase your images.

It takes about 2 weeks to get your digital image gallery, ready to download. I order your print products at this time, and usually have them back between 4 to 6 weeks, depending on product, time of year (holidays take a bit longer) and where they come from.

I try to make it as easy as possible for my clients to purchase their dream photo images and products. I have prepayment plans, a bonus program (if you prepay your session up front you get 5+ bonus images) and a payment plan. All payments must be received in full to have your images finalized, edited and delivered.

We encourage our seniors to add their family at the end of their session or sometimes at the beginning. We want our senior and their families to take advantage of celebrating this milestone and the family before the senior graduates.

THIS IS NOT REQUIRED, but we always ask if this is something you want to add. But this time is all about the Senior grad!

Based on your vision for your senior portraits, we discuss the best options that will set your images apart. We live in an amazingly beautiful area, so taking advantage of this area to utilize for your senior sessions is paramount. Discovery and Lincoln Parks in Seattle as well as Golden Gardens are amazing senior portrait locations. If you are looking for flowers and floral field there are several here and in Sequim that are stunning. Water…we have a lot of it and many options. I love to shoot in Pioneer Square, Bellevue Square park and parking garages. I also love to travel, so if you are interested in a destination session let me know!
