New England is filled with beautiful backdrops for family photos. I’ve found a few go to spots I recommend. Take a look below at some options I’ve found to be perfect for photography.
If you have a specific spot in mind that you would really like to use, we can absolutely explore it. Here’s what to look for if you have a specific location in mind.
TEXTURED BACKGROUNDS
Look for Tall Grass, Water, Bridges, etc. We want multiple options to provide a variety of photos.
UNPOPULAR
My photo sessions are all about relaxing and having fun, let’s find a spot to support that.
SHADED OPTIONS
We love a good sunset, but a option with some shade is really helpful to filter the strong sunlight.
PARKING ACCESS
If you have any little ones or handicap individuals we want to pick a spot with easy access.
