Location Guide

A quick note before we dive in: please do not share the locations in this guide with others. As a photographer I have seen countless locations close to the public or charge an exorbitant rental fee due to misuse and overcrowding. Some of the locations below are well known in the photography world, while others are hidden gems in our area.

How to choose the perfect location for your photoshoot

The very best kind of photo shoot is one that embodies your family story and the way y'all love to show up in the world.

Planning your photo session around activities that you love to do together is the best way to create images that feel like you and are jam-packed full of authentic and fun memories.

Let’s think about location, one of the most important elements of each session. It’s how you decide what to wear. It sets the stage, the vibe, and the theme.

If you’ve booked this shoot because you want some photos printed, consider where you’ll be hanging these prints. Do you want the lush green of a forest? Or the muted cool tones of the water? Do you want wide open spaces with lots of blue sky? Or the urban grey of a city? 

Depending on who’s coming to the shoot, we may have some logistics to consider. For any shoots with expectant mama’s, little ones, people with mobility impairments, or the elderly, let’s not pick anywhere that requires clambering over giant rocks or hiking up a mountain. In fact, the closer the location to the parking lot, the better. 

Below are some of my favorite locations. I’m sure you’ll love them just as much as I do...
