The Olympic Sculpture Park is probably one of my favorite secret gems for a senior portrait photoshoot. I am such a huge fan of the beautiful rich red rust colors from the sculptures - you almost have to know they are there to find them. The late afternoon sun is perfect for capturing sun flare and so many unique and artistic images. I would recommend this location in a heart beat for it's unique "wow" factor, plus it's accessibility to pockets of greenery, the overlook at Elliott Bay and the cute mini "beach" along the water. There is so much variety here to pack into your photos, whether you choose the MODERN or ULTIMATE - this location has it all in the heart of the city.

Olivia's session was taken in the middle of summer - on a gorgeous glow-y August afternoon. I love how well her style was suited for this location, and I carefully picked each backdrop to make sure her outfits popped!

Our ULTIMATE package is where it all started. Back in 2007 when I photographed my first senior portrait client, I chose to offer a session with hair & makeup included. My early days as a photographer were spent working with models and on fashion editorials. I had a passion for minimal re-touching and knew that working with a professional artist would create the quality of work I wanted to achieve - while creating an elevated experience for my clients. At the time, no one was offering professional hair & makeup services included in their sessions, and it quickly became what Michelle Moore Photography was known for.


Now, 20 years later - it has become the definition of the Senior Portrait experience.
