location inspiration + bucket list
I love collaborating on the location for your portraits!
If you need a little inspiration, I’ve compiled a list of spots I’ve been to before or am looking to cross off my bucket list! Do you have an idea that you don’t see here? Definitely run it by me! Your time in front of my camera is an experience that’s totally unique to you, and our location should reflect that! While some of these locations may require a permit/rental or travel fees, nothing is off the table. Let’s break it down by the vibe or location type.
