Portland Senior Photographer - Bethany Louria Seniors

Image with a hello message

I’ve been a photographer for 11 years! When I was a sophomore in high school, I was asked to photograph for a family friend and realized I loved taking portraits. It’s the best job! I love making my clients feel confident and beautiful, and value the friendships I’ve made with seniors and their families. For the past three years, I’ve been a Portland senior photographer and I’ve been a photographer in Ann Arbor for 10 years. I visit Michigan to see family and take senior pictures for one to two months every year.

Some fun facts about me:

I love taking landscape photos for fun and bring my camera up for sunsets in the mountains.
I have a master’s degree from the University of Michigan in Environmental Science! Though I’m not currently using the degree, I care deeply about protecting and preserving nature.
I’ve got a travel bug and like to backpack to different places around the world, visiting 24 countries over the past few years! I also spent 3 months camping in my car while hiking around national parks in 2021.
I adore dogs but do not currently have one, so please bring your dog to your session so I can pet them. 🙂

Let’s be friends!

One of my favorite parts of being a senior photographer is the friendships that develop with seniors and their families. I want you to feel like you’re hanging out in a pretty place and also getting your picture taken, rather than being stressed about it being a photoshoot. Senior pictures are one of the best memories to make during your senior year!

We explored all around downtown Portland looking for the best fall leaves during Pia’s session and it was such a fun adventure!! 🍁🍂 And of course we got cute fall fieldy pics and found some pretty dahlias too 🌸

Adisyn’s senior pictures were so special!! Her session included her love for horses and a visit to her grandmother’s gorgeous property. Afterwards we drove to my favorite field and flower spot. Adisyn, I had the best evening with you!! 💛

Olivia’s session had the most dramatic sunset I’ve seen on Lake Michigan 💛 And this is absolutely my new favorite beach spot in all of MI! Her session was just epic with the sparkling water, the fall color, and the lavender earlier in July. I’m definitely making space for a few more Northern MI sessions next year! 💕

Tahlia’s session was right out of a dream at the most incredible vintage bookstore 😭 We also went on a little hike around forest park to see the redwoods and finished with fall colors downtown. The most perfect day 🍁

It feels like I’ve been waiting forever to share

It feels like I’ve been waiting forever to share favorites from Bettina’s session because the first part of her session was all the way back in July!! 💜 So much fun to get both the lavender and the fall leaves in Michigan.

Next year I’ll definitely be in Michigan at least for the lavender at the end of June & early July. Favorite time of the year when everything is so green and wildflowers are blooming 🌸
