Outdoor Portraits In Colder Seattle Weather

Let's talk about outdoor portraits during the cold and rainy months in and around Seattle.  We offer some thoughts on how to prepare for an outdoor shoot during the winter, and some of the special considerations we as photographers put into our sessions this time of year.

Senior Portrait Time!!

It is the time of year when high school students are preparing to pick out a picture for the yearbook and those graduation announcements.  Here are some tips for Senior portraits that might help, including choosing a comfortable outfit and where to have your photo shoot.

When planning for your senior portrait shoot, think of the clothes, accessories, and hairstyles that represent who you are as you prepare to graduate high school.  Bright, beautiful colors paired with jeans or basic outfits can photograph just as beautifully as dresses and suits. If you play a sport, instrument or have a hobby that would provide a item you would like to incorporated within a photo don't be afraid to mention this to your photographer.  These items are useful in highlighting your interests.  By checking with your photographer you will be giving them this input ahead of time it allows a photographer to come up with creative ideas for your photos.

A great photo shoot location can make a senior portrait memorable and also speak to your personality and memories created throughout your schooling. But this isn't always necessary, as a professional photographer with the right lighting can turn an otherwise seemingly ordinary natural structure, car, or location into an extraordinary photo of you, the main reason for this whole experience..
