Should you have your senior photoshoot in downtown Portland? This blog post will help you answer that! I love shooting in the city because of how much creative freedom there is when it comes to composition and styling. The amount of variety in locations makes it my go-to for seniors who aren’t sure of what they want! It’s a perfect way to get a little bit of everything.


Pros:

  • Amazing nature spots nearby to add variety to your gallery

  • The city looks amazing with any type of weather

  • Freedom with outfit choice (casual and dramatic both look fantastic!)

  • You get to showcase your home which can add so much to your senior shoot memories

Cons:

Overall, downtown Portland is an amazing place to take your senior photos! You’ll have so much freedom when planning your shoot and the city will add a ton of character to your photos. You really can’t go wrong.
