Location Ideas for Your Next Photo Session

Photos are timeless, and if you are looking to update your portraits or take some for the first time, you might be wondering about what location to use for them. 

Here are some things to consider before choosing a location:

Comfort

A photoshoot is where you smile, laugh, and be yourselves. If some of your members are shy, you might not want to choose a very public spot. 

Personalities

What makes you unique? Choose a location that fits in with who you are. Do you enjoy spending time in your garden or on a couch reading books? Perhaps you spend lots of time outdoors and on camping trips? Your location should speak to your personality. 

Convenience

Take each member into consideration. What are their ages and needs? If you have two toddlers that might need to use a bathroom at any time, then a remote spot is probably not the best idea. 

Photoshoot Location Ideas

Below are some ideas of where you could arrange your photo session.

At Home

Sometimes the best shots can be taken a right at home. Get your family outside in the garden, or set up your living room for a classic look and feel.

In the City

You could get out in the city and take a few photos next to an attractive building or in a funky alleyway for a more modern feel to your prints. 

In Nature

Choose an outdoor location if you’re looking for a calm, natural setting. Parks and forests make for beautiful backdrops.

In Studio

If you’re looking for a more private setting where you can use props and backdrops, then a studio setting might be more for you. Studio photos will also allow you to take more posed, structured images.
