Here are a few of Emma’s beautiful images from June 26th. She was so fun to shoot, it was just like working with a model! Thank you Emma for a great shoot! I can’t wait for you to see the rest!

Mirabeau Park is perfect right now for senior shoots! We are scheduling appointments everyday at locations all around Spokane and Coeur d’ Alene. Here a few other favorite locations that are great to schedule your shoot: Manito Park, Riverfront Park, Downtown back alleys, Finch Arboretum and the beach at Coeur d’ Alene.

By far our most popular location for outdoor senior portraits, Manito Park sits on Spokane’s south hill between Grand an Stevens on the east and west and between 17th and 25th on the north and south. The scenery varies from the marigolds, daisies, and other flowers of the Duncan Garden to the greenery, rocks, and wooded areas around the various gardens.

I’m planning on doing a series of posts here with some of our more common locations with maps and sample photos from them to see. Some of them like Manito Park and Finch Arboretum we meet you right at one of the main parking lots while others, such as the wagon wheel farm, we meet you at a location close to it and go from there since they’re a bit harder to find (with the farm, we meet at the Albertson’s on 57th).

The map below will show you how to get to Manito Park from all directions, and it has each garden indicated with the associated parking areas. Use this map to Manito Park for printing though — it’ll turn out a lot better than trying to print this page.

The park works equally well for both guys and girls. The photos below should be able to give you some idea of what the various areas look like.

We did the last two senior photo fairs for this year Monday and Tuesday at Central Valley High School and University High School, respectively. Everything was a hit, and our senior season is looking to be a great one!

Our final senior book design if the new three is Unearthed. This one works equally well for both girls and guys and it pretty similar to our mint graduation announcement. The cover and pages use a very earthy color scheme and can work well with a variety of locations and outfits.
