At the height of summer in Seattle, it’s worth mentioning that you may be missing out on the best time of year for a photoshoot. If you have a baby or a younger child, know that this family photoshoot was held at 9:30 a.m. at a wide-open beach called Fay Bainbridge Park.
Visit Seattle in the Summertime
The first session I photographed at Fay Bainbridge Park was just before golden hour, which is ideal for lighting. However, I wanted to show you a different look. With a baby under one year old, the mother wasn’t sure her baby would last through golden hour photos.
Since the sun sets later in the summer, I was happy to schedule an earlier time at Fay Bainbridge Park to keep the baby happy. I’m comfortable photographing families on bright, sunny days. I can position you to ensure the most flattering angles and beautiful light.
What to Wear For Beach Photos
I have an entirely separate post on looking effortless for beach photos, but this post is a great example. This family chose to incorporate blues and yellows with a bold stripe for their family photos. Lighter blues and darker blues worked perfectly against the backdrop of those bright Summer skies. Plus, a dose of yellow sure does mimic the happy sunshine vibes for their family photos.
