Let’s talk about the BEST locations for your photography session! When choosing a place for photography, you’ll want to consider the season. You will also want to consider the landscape during that particular season. Photo locations look drastically different depending on what time of year you are photographing. In the winter you’ll want to consider parks with dense forests to fill in your backgrounds. In the summer you have more flexibility with location.
We have this list designed for you based on our experience. We’ve considered these locations based on landscaping, weather, temperature, scenery, and overall comfort levels. Simply put, you may not want to choose a beach session in January because you might be freezing! Dense Parks and urban downtown areas are perfect for winter sessions. During the summer months you may consider a beach or a winery! But you wouldn’t want to choose a winery in the winter since the vines would be bare.
We take all things into consideration when picking the best locations. Take a look at our list!
