LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. There are so many ways to find the perfect location for your session. We can…

1) shoot at your home

2) use my Tiny Haus in Everett which is verrrrrry cute, easy, and totally free for my clients to use, or

3) rent a space! Which gives us lots of flexibility to really marry your vision with the perfect spot to make your photos even more unique and custom to you. Below are my tried-and-true photography locations, including hotels, Airbnbs, Peerspaces, and outdoor spots I love (and use constantly). I update this list often, so bookmark it!

MY FAVORITE SEATTLE (AND MORE) PHOTOGRAPHY LOCATIONS

Tried and true hotels (all in seattle):

In most cases, I can recommend which exact rooms are best in each based on the particular furniture, styling, and lighting. A word of advice – unless you need it, always make sure you are *not* getting the ADA unit. They often have a completely differently setup than photos online, especially in the bathrooms! And this is by no means a comprehensive list of hotels in Seattle, so if you don’t see anything here you may want to look around. Occasionally people find other gems they love!

• The Palladian – My archives
• The Ace – My archives
• The Theodore – My archives (the Presidential Suite is the one I have most experience with)
• The Sorrento – My archives (has been redecorated – looks very different then my archives – their website has updated photos)
• The Graduate – My archives
• Lotte Hotel – My Archives
• The Alexis – (have shot here, but no current archives available)
• The Palisociety – – (have shot here, but no current archives available)

Airbnb lists:

Some of these locations I’ve shot in, some I haven’t, feel free to ask me what I might know about a specific location if you find one you like. AirBnB is a particularly good option if you also want outdoor space, as there are usually homes with some level of backyard privacy (although, it’s important to read the descriptions thoroughly to find out). And same as with hotels, these lists are by no means comprehensive and I encourage you to do your own research as well, new spaces are being added everyday!

• Seattle
• WA (outside Seattle)
• OR (portland included)
• Boudoir Abroad

Peerspaces (all in seattle):

Geared towards hourly rentals for photoshoots and events, Peerspace is like airbnb for creatives. Definitely worth a look if you want more of a studio vibe, the pnw brick loft vibe, or other unique spaces set up specifically for photography and events. Here are links to some of my favorites, but again, do feel free to do your own searching on the site, constant influx of new spaces :) There are a few on the site that I recommend staying away from (dirty, not what they look like in pics, etc.), but I’ll absolutely let you know beforehand if you happen to like one of those.

• Photo Studios:
  • So Below – dual corner cyclorama, perfect for neon/colorful light shoots
  • CREATE WITHIN – great seamless options, super clean, not very private, affordable
  • Studio G Seattle – large clean space with lots of gear rental if needed, single corner cyclorama
  • The 701 Studios – bright unique windows (can be cold in the winter)
• Pioneer Square Lofts:
  • Olive Creative Studio – Tulum style arches
  • Neu Haus EDITORIAL DESERT INSPIRED SPACE – Lots of white/tan/neutral props, bed w/sheers, white walls and brick
• Penthouse/apartment/homes:
  • Moody & Industrial Penthouse Studio – super moody dark space
  • Colorful Design Focused Home with Greenhouse and Large Garden – colorful vibrant home
  • Greenhouse/bathtub:
  • Photo Studio Tropical Greenhouse with Bathtub and Large Backyard – greenery but warm (temps)

Outdoor locations:

And lastly, free outside spaces are always an option! Far down the beach away from folks early in the morning at Golden Gardens, deep in the forests of Discovery Park, a field out in Snohomish, or a cute nook on the Snoqualmie River. Here are my favorite outdoor locations both near me in Everett (and can be combined with the tiny house), closer to Seattle, and way outside of both towns. Lots of amazing options!

The world is your oyster darling, you just have to imagine it and we will find the perfect spot :)
