Graduating high school is such an exciting and memorable time of your life, and it deserves to be treated as such! Graduation photos are your chance to celebrate this huge milestone and capture photos that reflect your hard work, excitement, and the end of your childhood. You only get this special moment once, so be intentional with your graduation portraits and make sure they reflect YOU!
If you are unsure if graduation photos in Kitsap County are for you, here are a few ways seniors and their families love to use their photos:
Graduation announcements
College announcements
Graduation party invites
Gifts for loved ones
Social media celebration posts
And they are such happy photos to have around your home!
As a high school senior photographer serving Port Orchard, Silverdale, Bremerton, Bainbridge Island, Poulsbo, and beyond, these are three of my favorite locations for cap and gown photos.
1. Clear Creek Trail – A Lush, Natural Setting in Silverdale
Clear Creek Trail is a gorgeous option for graduation pictures in Silverdale if you love greenery and tall grass.
Why it’s perfect for grad photos:
Beautiful greenery in spring
Open areas with tall grass
This location works especially well in May and June when everything is fresh and vibrant. The soft greens create a beautiful contrast against your cap and gown.
For seniors from Central Kitsap, Olympic, and surrounding schools, this is such a convenient and timeless choice.

2. Point No Point – A Coastal & Iconic Location near Kingston
If you want a location that feels light and beachy, Point No Point is an excellent choice for graduation photos in North Kitsap County.
Why seniors love it:
Light, coastal grasses and driftwood
Gorgeous beach with greenery and water
Point No Point is an all-around favorite for graduation photos, especially for North Kitsap and Kingston seniors.
Graduation sessions at Point No Point begin about mid-April, when the trees are lush and green and the weather feels a bit warmer.

3. Howe Farm Park – Bright, Open, & Rustic
Howe Farm in Port Orchard is a longtime favorite for a reason.
It has:
Open grassy fields
A beautiful white barn
Graduation pictures at Howe Farm are popular for South Kitsap seniors because it’s central, accessible, and is classically beautiful.
If you're looking for graduation pictures in Port Orchard that feel timeless and bright, this location is a stunning choice.

What to Wear for Cap & Gown Graduation Photos
One of the most common questions I get is what to wear under the gown.
Here’s what works beautifully:
A simple white dress (always classic)
A cute top and jeans (perfect if you plan to throw a college t shirt or hoodie over)
A dress or top in a complimentary color to you cap & gown
Wedges, sandals, sneakers, or cowgirl boots
Bring your cords, medals, honor stoles, and any college/career items (penants, t shirts, etc)!
When to Schedule Graduation Pictures in Kitsap County
The sweet spot for cap and gown photos in Kitsap County is typically mid-April through mid-May
Why?
Everything is greener (winter is over!)

Waiting until June often restricts your ability to order announcement cards with the graduation photos, though June sessions are very beautiful!
