Location, Location, Location

Choosing a location for you photos can be a very intimidating task. You want somewhere that’s pretty, also not too crowded, but most importantly some place that represents YOU. Luckily my job has taken me to quite a few places, so whether you’re looking for a place to take couples photos, you family photos, your bridal photos, or photos of just you I hope some of these places will give you some ideas. I have taken photos at all these locations as well.

*NOTE* Most of these locations allow you to take photos on the property free of charge, I will make a little note for the ones that need a permit to shoot at.
