During the seasons of Spring and Summer the Point Defiance Rose Garden in Tacoma, Washington is blooming with flowers. This garden has roses, sunflowers, iris, fuchsias, hydrangeas, daisies, and dahlias all over the park for visitors to enjoy. As a senior photographer based in the Tacoma area, Point Defiance Rose Garden is one of my favorite locations to use for my seniors that want flowers in their senior photos.

When Raiya, a Class of 2025 senior from Liberty High School, requested to have a garden location for her senior session I knew the Point Defiance Rose Garden would be perfect. Her session took place in September and there were so many flowers available, especially the dahlias! 

Summer Fashion:
When planning a senior session, I tell my seniors to choose outfits that offer variety in styles. I absolutely LOVED the outfits Raiya wore for her senior pictures. The first outfit was a vibrant yellow top with a white pair of jeans. Then, she wore a white dress that resembled one of Marilyn Monroe iconic dresses. These two outfits were PERFECT for a Summer senior photoshoot.

Senior Photos with a Bouquet of Flowers:
One of the most popular trends for senior photos is incorporating a bouquet of flowers. This is by far one of my favorite trends and I hope it stays around forever! I buy all of my seniors flowers and I try to find a bouquet that compliments the colors of their outfits. Since dahlias were at their peak at Point Defiance Rose Garden, I made sure to purchase a bouquet with lots of dahlias!
