Absolutely, I’ve spent a fair bit of time doing portrait photography, especially in home or backyard setups. One thing I’ve learned is that the environment matters just as much as lighting and camera settings. If you're shooting at home and space is tight, consider how an accessory dwelling unit can transform your options.
For example, a client of mine recently hired an accessory dwelling unit builder Renton to convert part of their backyard into a studio space. The natural lighting, privacy, and flexibility of that unit made it perfect for both professional and lifestyle portraits. Whether you're shooting family sessions, headshots, or even personal branding content, having a dedicated space—free from household distractions—can really elevate your results.
So, if you're serious about portrait work and looking to create a consistent indoor/outdoor studio environment, investing in a customized space could be a smart long-term move.
