Why are locations so important??
When I say it is all about location, I am not over exaggerating. Location makes or breaks an image. I tell every client that they should choose location based on where they would like to walk around. If you would walk around that location and explore, then it would be a great choice for you!!
Below, I have listed a handful of my favorite locations that I have studied for years now to get just the right light. Create a list of the locations that you like for your senior experience!!
Some locations are geared towards specific seasons.
If the location has no season next to it, it can be used year-round.
