Things to Consider

for outdoor photoshoot locations

Is there a place that has special significance?

Is it visually interesting? (architecture, texture, color, foliage/flowers)

Time of Year- what will be in bloom or what will it look like?

Will it be comfortable for my kids? (ex space to run, bathrooms nearby, easy parking, etc)

Does it need a permit for professional photography?

At Home

A front yard or backyard session can be a wonderful way to capture your family in your most natural environment; and provide close bathrooms, a change of clothes or a place to warm up if the weather is chilly. We can also do a combination of indoor and outdoor for some great variety or pick a fun activity to capture some candid moments!

In Studio

Silver Spring, MD 20906

The main benefit of a studio session is CONTROL. Lighting and location is not subject to weather or time of day and we know the photos are going to look great and consistent! You don’t have to worry about cleaning up your own home or finding the right space. The background is simple and neutral so the focus is on the thing that matters most!
