Mini Sessions at Center for Urban Horticulture (UW Botanic Gardens)

Written By Emily Walls

If you are looking for a spot for earthy photos in Seattle, Washington, The Center for Urban Horticulture (UW Botanic Gardens) is a great option with what feels like endless leafy, floral backgrounds. A short walk from the parking lot (parking here was easy, btw!) brings you to a gorgeous fountain. Go down the small hill, and you are in a grove of trees. Walk along the paths and you will find yourself in a small forest. Just beyond that is an open field with gorgeous lighting.

I cannot wait to do mini sessions here again in October. With ample options throughout the gardens, I can offer families and individuals multiple backgrounds even in a short time frame. The variety of locations also means that no matter the time of day of your session, you will leave with a collection of stunning, frame-worthy images.

My 2025 Seattle mini sessions are on October 11, 2025. Click here to learn more and book.
