Outdoor vs. Studio Photos – What’s Best for Your Child?

Apr 7

I’ve been in Seattle almost 3 years now, and it's been so fun watching the little ones I first photographed grow up! If you’re torn between an outdoor shoot or something indoors, here’s the quick lowdown:

Outdoor sessions are awesome if you want that golden sunlight, playful energy, and natural smiles.

Perfect for toddlers and older kids who love to run around.
Best in spring, summer, or fall when the weather’s nice.
Great if you want a variety of backdrops—parks, fields, cute city spots.

Studio sessions are ideal when you’re going for cozy, clean, and timeless.

Best for newborns and babies (especially under one year).
A solid option when it’s cold or rainy out.
You’ll get that classic, minimal look—no distractions.

Think about your little one’s vibe. Are they wild and free? Let’s head outside. More chill or weather-sensitive? The studio’s perfect. Either way, we’ll get sweet, beautiful photos you’ll treasure.
