Tips for a Successful Family Photo Session
To make the most of your family photo session at the Snoqualmie Train Station, consider the following tips:
- Timing is Everything: The best lighting for outdoor photos is usually in the early morning or late afternoon when the sun is lower in the sky. This soft, golden light creates a flattering glow and reduces harsh shadows. Plan your session accordingly to capture the best lighting. Learn more about why outdoor family photos take place 1 hour before sunset.
- Coordinate Outfits: Choose outfits that complement the natural and historical setting of the Snoqualmie Train Station. Earthy tones, soft pastels, and timeless patterns work well with the rustic charm of the location. Avoid overly bright colors or busy patterns that might clash with the surroundings.
