Senior Photos at Tumwater Falls in Olympia WA

Senior Portraits in Olympia: A Recent Session Highlight

Senior year is such a big milestone — full of excitement, change, and a little bit of reflection. I recently had the joy of photographing Jonah for their senior portraits at Tumwater Falls Park, and I couldn’t help but share a peek at this session.

A Personal Touch

What I love most about senior sessions is capturing personality. For Jonah, that meant blending natural candid shots with a few classic portraits. Tumwater Falls gave us the best of both worlds — flowing water, lush greenery, and those winding trails that make for such a dynamic backdrop.

Making Seniors Feel Comfortable

Not everyone loves being in front of the camera right away — and that’s okay. I always start with easy, natural poses and lots of movement to break the ice. By the end of the session, [Student’s Name] was laughing, relaxed, and totally owning their moment.

Why Tumwater Falls Is a Favorite Location

Tumwater Falls Park is one of my go-to spots for portraits in the Olympia area. It has everything: river views, bridges, forested paths, and the sound of the falls in the background. Each corner of the park feels like a new scene, which makes for a beautiful variety of photos in one session.

Senior Style Spotlight

For his session, Jonah kept it timeless and laid-back — a plaid button-up layered over a simple tee, paired with classic jeans. The look felt perfectly at home at Tumwater Falls Park, blending that casual PNW vibe with a touch of personality. His red Vans added just the right pop of color, making the portraits both relaxed and stylish.
