Not into the traditional outdoor senior photos? Let’s switch things up with a record store or coffee shop session—a laid-back, personality-filled way to capture your senior year in a space that feels totally you. Whether you’re a vinyl collector, a coffee lover, or just want a cozy and unique backdrop, these sessions create authentic, storytelling portraits.

Why Choose a Record Store for Senior Portraits?

If music is a big part of your life, a record store session is a perfect way to showcase that passion. Flipping through albums, checking out vintage finds, and getting lost in the music creates natural, candid moments. Plus, the warm lighting and retro vibes add so much character to your photos.

Best for: Music lovers, vinyl collectors, seniors who want an artsy, alternative vibe.
What to wear: A cool band tee, layered outfits, or something a little edgy to match the scene.

Coffee Shop Senior Photos: Cozy & Classic

If your happy place is a quiet coffee shop with a good latte, why not capture that in your senior session? Whether you love Seattle’s café culture or just want a warm, inviting setting, coffee shop senior portraits create a relaxed, everyday feel—like a snapshot of real life.

Best for: Bookworms, coffee enthusiasts, and seniors who want a cozy, intimate setting.
What to wear: Casual layers, comfy sweaters, and anything that feels effortlessly you.

Adding Variety: Pair It With Another Location

One of the best things about record store or coffee shop senior photos is how well they pair with other locations. Start in a shop, then head outside for street-style shots in Ballard, Capitol Hill, or Pioneer Square. The mix of indoor and outdoor photos gives you a versatile, creative gallery.
