The location you choose helps set the overall look and feel of your session.


Whether you envision a scenic field, a wooded trail, a downtown setting, or a quiet park, I'm happy to help you find the perfect backdrop to match your style and vision.


If you already have a location in mind, let me know! If not, I have a list of favorite locations and can recommend one based on the season, lighting, and the overall aesthetic you're hoping to achieve.


Please note that some locations may require an entrance fee, permit, or additional walking from the parking area, and I'll let you know ahead of time if that applies.
