Best Photography Locations in the Seattle Area

 
 

Looking for the best spots for your
photoshoot here in the Seattle area?

There are a ton of locations to choose from and they all vary with lighting, vibe, and their own unique setting. Something to ask yourself: What kind pf photoshoot do I want to have? Something that is easy for my kids to run around and has gorgeous golden hour glow? Or something more urban and edgy? Or on the beach when there’s no one around? Like real estate, LOCATION DOES MATTER when it comes to photography. And this can affect the final “look” of your photographers.

Here are some of my current favorite spots I’ve lucky enough to photograph many clients in. Will add a linked Google Map soon so you can see where all of these are in location to one another, especially considering travel times if you have kids or pregnant.
