First, Seattle's weather often gives you that perfect soft, diffused light, but you should also check how the natural light works in the photo shoot location throughout the day. Some venues may have amazing light in the morning but not later on. Don't forget about practical stuff either—things like makeup stations, changing rooms, or even prop storage can make your shoot smoother. If you're bringing in a lot of gear, consider how easy it is to load in and out—studios in areas like SODO often have better access. Midweek or off-peak hours are usually cheaper and quieter, which is great if you need a distraction-free session.

You'll typically find basic lighting, natural light, and flexible setups. However, some essential  extras like pro lighting equipment, tripods, or reflectors might not be included or could cost extra. Studios often have makeup stations and changing rooms, but features like green screens, soundproofing, or tethered shooting gear might come at an additional fee. If you need props or specific furniture, you'll likely have to rent those separately or bring your own. Also, remember to check if they offer editing spaces or post-production facilities, as those can sometimes come with added charges.
