Senior year is such a special milestone – and one of the best ways to celebrate it is with a portrait session in a place that feels meaningful. In this post, I’m sharing some of my favorite senior portrait locations in Yorktown and Williamsburg, VA to help you find the perfect backdrop for your photos.

Here are a few of my Favorite Senior Portrait Locations in Yorktown & Williamsburg:

1. Senior Portraits at Yorktown Beach

Perfect for sunset sessions with soft natural light and a relaxed coastal feel. Bring a cozy sweater, go barefoot in the sand, or show off a dressy outfit with the breeze in your hair – it always feels timeless here.
Bonus – not only do we have the beach (and lots of other spots I love for variety!) but a favorite is always the fields!

2. Colonial Williamsburg – A Classic Senior Photo Location

Historic brick paths, ivy-covered walls, and charming fences make this a great location for seniors who want something classic, elegant, or editorial-inspired.

3. Senior Portraits at The College of William & Mary

Especially lovely in spring or fall, this campus offers a variety of scenic backdrops – from collegiate buildings to tree-lined paths – great for grads who want to reflect their academic journey.

4. Nature Trails & Open Fields – A Relaxed Option for Senior Portraits in Yorktown

If you’re looking for something relaxed and organic, Yorktown offers beautiful trails and open fields that are perfect for golden-hour light and natural, timeless images. These spots are ideal if you want your session to feel effortless, warm, and connected to nature. Don’t worry about knowing where to pick! I know the PERFECT spots!
