Summer I 2026 Location Guide
The right location is a special part of your session, setting the tone from the very beginning.
Some places feel open and expansive, others quiet and secluded, but each offers something unique and beautiful in every season.
I’m drawn to locations that feel grounded in nature and help tell your family’s story in an honest, unforced way.
Take a look through some of the options, and I’m always happy to chat through other ideas too.
