Planning Your Senior Session in Port Gamble
When planning senior pictures in Port Gamble, I typically recommend:
Booking as early as possible. Fall colors peak in Port Gamble in October, leaving only a select amount of sessions available.
Brining at least two outfits, with one including a sweater since fall evenings can get a bit chilly.
Choosing colors that compliment the colors in the fall foliage — think forest tones, creams, navy, maroon, rust, etc.
