How to pick the right location for your Portrait Session.
One of the most popular questions and almost the first one people ask me after the booking a session with me is where should we take your images.
You’ve seen a beautiful place where your friends had a shoot recently, but it seems to be far away from your home. Or you loved that one image on Pinterest, but not sure if you can make it there because the weather looks super gloomy and it’s about to rain and snow at the same time. So you keep on brainstorming and worrying because, naturally, you want your photos to be perfect.
Let me say a couple of things here. First, breathe in and breathe out! Second, and maybe you will be surprised here, but…
Location doesn’t matter.
Of course, if you want Brooklyn Bridge as your background you have to be in New York City, there is no way around here. But for my kind of approach in photography, it doesn’t matter that much. Don’t get me wrong here, I sure love beautiful locations and places and if you have one in mind I’m more than ever willing to make it happen. Or if you want my help with a jaw-dropping background I always have a couple of ideas up my sleeve for you.
What I’m trying to say is the main focus in my style of photography is on emotions. It is important for me to capture your family as is, the interaction between you and your children. These connections can be captured anywhere: in the park under the old tree, in your garden, or your house. The location here is not that important anymore. While picking a place for your portrait session, whether you are a family or a couple, I encourage you to think about a place you really like and visit regularly. A place where your kids like to play and feel comfortable and relaxed.
So as you see, the location doesn’t really matter. Your emotions are way more important. And the light of course. Don't forget, I'm a photographer after all. So don’t wait any longer and contact me about your portrait session full of memories and beautiful connections.
