Best Locations for Senior Pictures in Oklahoma City: A Local Photographer’s Guide

Choosing the perfect location for your senior session can completely elevate the look and feel of your photos and it’s one of the first things I help my seniors decide on when planning their experience! As a senior photographer in Oklahoma City, I’ve spent years scouting the most beautiful, unique, and personality-filled spots across the metro. From vibrant murals and modern architecture to open fields and flower-filled gardens, the OKC area has no shortage of stunning backdrops.

I always encourage my seniors and their moms to start thinking through the types of locations that feel most “you” before your session day. This list highlights my go-to favorites, and it’s a great place to begin the conversation about where we’ll shoot. You might find one spot that’s perfect for your entire session, or we might combine 2–3 locations for more variety. Either way, this guide will help you get inspired and excited for your senior photos!

Myriad Botanical Gardens – Lush, Versatile & Always a Favorite

Let’s kick things off with the Myriad Botanical Gardens. This beautiful 17-acre park is located right in the middle of Oklahoma City. If you’re looking for a location that offers a little bit of everything, the Myriad Botanical Gardens is hands-down one of the best spots in Oklahoma City for senior photos, and one of the most requested by my clients! With beautifully landscaped gardens, water features, stone paths, and wide open green spaces, it’s perfect for seniors who want both natural and polished backdrops in one spot.

In spring and summer, the gardens burst with color and flowers. In the fall, the warm tones and golden leaves are absolutely stunning. No matter the season, it always photographs beautifully and gives you so much variety in one session. Whether you’re going for soft and romantic, bold and bright, or anything in between, the Myriad Gardens delivers every single time.

Seasonal Reflection Pool – Elegant & Iconic Downtown Vibes

This is becoming my clients favorite spot of the senior photo session! Take a look and see why! This location is just on the east side of the Myriad Gardens, so you can enjoy both locations during your senior photos! This sleek, city-backed reflection pool is one of my favorite hidden gems inside the Myriad Botanical Gardens. In the winter, it transforms into a festive ice skating rink, but during the warmer months, it becomes a serene, modern backdrop that feels effortlessly elegant.
The twinkle lights above, the gentle fountain, and the reflections in the water create a dreamy, editorial look, especially paired with a flowy dress or elevated outfit. It’s a perfect spot for seniors who want a polished, upscale feel to their session, while still being surrounded by nature and skyline views.
If you’re looking for a location that feels both peaceful and picture-perfect, this area delivers every time.
