Planning your next photoshoot in Perth and wondering whether to go for a studio-style session or
step into the great outdoors? You’re not alone. We hear this question all the time from families, expecting
parents, and couples gearing up for their big day.
At Letthe Lightin, we believe photography should feel like you —
relaxed, real, and full of meaning. That’s why
choosing between indoor and outdoor photography isn’t just about location... it’s about telling your story the
right way.
Let’s explore what each option offers, share a few real client stories, and help you figure out which style
suits your vision best.
The setting of your shoot isn’t just a backdrop — it’s part of the memory. Think about a moment you love: was it wrapped in a cozy blanket on your couch or watching the sun set at the beach? The environment anchors the emotion. That’s what photography should capture — the feeling, not just the frame.
There’s something undeniably special about outdoor photography in Perth. With iconic locations like Kings Park, Applecross Jetty, and Cottesloe Beach, Perth offers a canvas of golden light, ocean blues, and native bushland charm.
Stacy and her fiancé chose Cottesloe Beach for their pre-wedding shoot. The salty breeze, soft waves, and relaxed vibe gave them space to be themselves. Her dress caught the wind, the light hit just right, and the result? Dreamy, cinematic photos that felt like them.
When people think “indoor photography,” they sometimes picture stiff studio portraits. But at Letthe Lightin, indoor shoots are designed to feel anything but staged. Whether at our Perth studio or in the comfort of your own home, indoor sessions offer warmth, control, and that personal touch.
Vilma, mum to one-year-old Ava, invited us into their cozy Perth home for a relaxed indoor session. With Ava just beginning to explore and giggle at everything, we captured her playful spirit in a space where she felt safe and happy. From cuddles on the couch to soft morning light in the nursery, the session was full of genuine, everyday magic — no pressure, no posing, just beautiful moments as they unfolded.
Choosing between indoor and outdoor photography isn’t just logistical — it’s emotional. Here’s what to consider:
Honestly? There’s no “better” — there’s only what feels right for you. Some of our favourite sessions combine both worlds. Like Sara’s shoot — we began in her softly lit living room in Canning Vale, capturing tender moments with her fiancé. Then we headed to Applecross Jetty just before sunset for those epic sky-lit portraits. The contrast made the whole story feel richer. If you're torn, let’s talk it through. We're always happy to help you pick a location that suits your energy, style, and the people you love most.
Whether you're envisioning warm studio shots or windswept beach portraits, we're here to help you find the light
that tells your story.
At Letthe Lightin, we create photos that feel as good as they look — honest, artful, and uniquely yours.
If you're curious about what your perfect shoot could look like, let’s chat. No pressure. Just a relaxed
conversation
