Choosing the best location for your photography session.
I absolutely love to shoot outdoors, there are so many beautiful and picturesque locations in the local area that we really are spoilt for choice!
When booking a shoot, some clients have a very set idea on where they want there session to take place, this could be a special place to them and they want to capture memories there or they just love the place, this often takes me to new places which is amazing because I love exploring and being outdoors. However on occasion I do get asked for my recommendations, So I thought I would create my 'go to' list of places that I absolutely love and that make the perfect backdrop for your photography sessions.
