Capturing the Moment: Top 5 Senior Photo Locations in Spokane Valley

If you dont know where to go....I've got your back.


Choosing the right location is the first step in making your senior session feel like you. Whether you want the rugged beauty of the Inland Northwest or a setting that’s more personal, Spokane Valley and the surrounding area have some incredible gems.

As a photographer who has spent over a decade scouting this region, I’ve narrowed down my top five go-to spots for a session that stands out.


1. Liberty Lake Regional Park

If you want variety without driving to five different places, this is the spot. Liberty Lake Regional Park is a "one-stop shop" for senior portraits. It offers:

  • Rustic charm: Weathered fences and textured brick walls.
  • Natural beauty: Dense treelines and open trails.
  • Year-round appeal: It looks just as stunning in the golden hues of fall as it does in the crisp whites of winter.


2. Corbin Park (Post Falls, ID)

Just a short jump over the border, Corbin Park is a dream for anyone wanting a water-focused session. Because the tree coverage is a bit thinner here, we aim for early morning or late evening. The "Golden Hour" light hitting the Spokane River creates a glow that you just can’t replicate in a studio.


3. "The Field" Session

Spokane Valley is surrounded by stunning farmland and vast, open fields. Sometimes, the best backdrop isn't a park—it’s a wide-open space where the tall grass catches the light. This is perfect for a minimalist, editorial look that keeps the entire focus on you. If you have a favorite spot in the Valley or out toward the Palouse, let’s go find it.


4. Your High School

There is no place more personal than the campus where you spent the last four years. Whether it’s the bleachers of the football stadium, the front steps, or the courtyard, shooting at your school makes the session incredibly comfortable. It’s your home turf, and it adds a layer of nostalgia to your photos that nowhere else can provide.


5. Harvard Road Bridge

For those who love an industrial yet natural vibe, the Harvard Bridge area is a fantastic choice. Similar to Corbin Park, the light here is best during the morning or late afternoon.

  • Pro Tip: In the summer, the water recedes, exposing unique rocks, textures, and colors on the riverbed that make for some truly high-fashion, "edgy" senior portraits.
