Payton’s Senior Photos in Portland I Class of 2025

Kelso High School I Portland Oregon and Vancouver Washington Senior Photographer

Payton’s senior portrait session was such a fun and unique experience! We explored a variety of incredible locations, from vibrant urban spots to serene natural settings, capturing every bit of her personality and style. Even the “fishy” smell at one location couldn’t dampen the day—it was all worth it for those stunning shots!

We started in downtown Vancouver, Washington, where Payton wore a striped casual outfit that perfectly matched the city vibe. The textures and lines of the urban environment added a modern, playful feel to her portraits. Payton’s bright smile and easygoing nature made these shots so much fun to capture.

Next, Payton switched into her letterman jacket to showcase her school spirit. Downtown provided the perfect mix of urban energy and personal connection for these photos, making them both stylish and meaningful.

From there, we stayed in the city as Payton changed into a pair of overalls. The relaxed and trendy look paired wonderfully with the industrial tones of the urban backdrop, creating portraits that felt effortlessly cool and timeless.

Then, we headed to a local lake—one with a bit of a “fishy” reputation but absolutely gorgeous for photos. Payton braved the smell, and the result was breathtaking. The reflections on the water, soft natural light, and peaceful surroundings made this location stand out, and Payton’s confident energy really shined through.

As the sun began to set, we moved to a field of tall green grasses, where Payton wore a beautiful patchwork dress. The evening light created a golden glow that brought warmth and depth to every photo. To finish the day, we headed to a nearby hay field, where Payton held a bouquet of flowers as the sun dipped below the horizon. The combination of the golden light and Payton’s stunning look created the most magical ending to her session.

Payton, thank you so much for trusting me to capture your senior portraits! Your session was filled with so much variety and beauty, and it truly reflects the fun, adventurous spirit you bring to everything. I hope your senior year is just as vibrant and exciting as these photos!
