Olympia Senior Portraits That Tell Your Story
Your senior year is a defining chapter in your life—a culmination of years of hard work, growth, and unforgettable moments. It’s a story that deserves to be told with authenticity and style. At Russell Moore Photography, I go beyond simple headshots. We collaborate with you to create a senior portrait experience in and around Olympia that captures the real you: your passions, your personality, and the journey that lies ahead.
The Russell Moore Senior Experience: More Than Just a Photoshoot
This isn’t about awkward poses in a stuffy studio. Your senior portrait session is a creative adventure designed around you. Just like the "Athlete Spotlight" sessions we're known for, your experience is a one-on-one collaboration. We’ll find the perfect light and the perfect locations in the Olympia area—from the waterfront at Percival Landing to the quiet trails you love—to create a collection of clean, artistic, and powerful portraits that feel completely your own.
Your Style, Your Session, Your Memories
My portfolio is a testament to my style: vibrant, emotionally resonant, and technically excellent images that stand the test of time. Whether you're an athlete on the field, an artist in the woods, or just want to capture your true self, we focus on genuine expressions and dynamic compositions to ensure your personality shines through in every shot.
Senior Portrait Investment
I believe in a simple, all-inclusive experience that gives you a complete collection of stunning, professionally edited images to share and cherish.

“Russell’s photos completely exceeded my expectations. They are absolutely stunning! He has such a gift, not only in setting up and capturing the shots but also in the way he edits them. The whole process felt effortless and fun. I never felt pressured or awkward in front of the camera. Instead, it was like spending time with a friend who happened to be taking incredible photos. Russell made me feel completely at ease, and the results are even better than I imagined.”

“Russell helped me feel more natural when I typically struggle to take photos. He told me exactly how to pose and position. I was so happy with the results and would totally do another shoot with him.”
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best locations for senior photos in Olympia?
Olympia is full of incredible spots! For a natural vibe, we can explore places like Priest Point Park or the trails at Capitol State Forest. For a more urban feel, downtown Olympia, the murals in the alleyways, and the waterfront offer fantastic backdrops. During our consultation, we'll choose locations that best match your personality.
What should I wear for my senior portrait session?
I recommend bringing 2-3 outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable. Think about variety: maybe one casual outfit that reflects your everyday style, something a bit more dressed up, and an outfit that showcases a hobby or sport you love (like a jersey, a musical instrument, or your art supplies). Avoid small, busy patterns and large logos that can be distracting.
When is the best time of year to book my senior photos?
Late summer and early fall are the most popular times, offering beautiful golden light and pleasant weather. The summer before your senior year is ideal for meeting yearbook deadlines. However, spring sessions can also be gorgeous with blooming flowers. I recommend booking at least 2-3 months in advance, as my calendar fills up quickly.
Can I include my pet, friend, or family member in a few shots?
Absolutely! This session is about celebrating you, and that includes the important people (and animals) in your life. We can definitely incorporate them into a portion of the shoot. Just let me know during our consultation so we can plan for it.
