Choosing the perfect location is one of the most important parts of your session. The setting helps tell your story and sets the tone for your photos — whether you’re envisioning romantic vineyard views, dreamy redwoods, golden open fields, or the rugged Southern Oregon coastline.


I’ve carefully curated some of my favorite locations throughout Southern Oregon and nearby areas to make planning simple and stress-free for you. Each spot offers something unique — from soft, glowing sunset light to dramatic landscapes and intimate natural backdrops.


As you browse this guide, think about the mood you’re drawn to. Do you love open and airy? Dark and moody? Coastal and windswept? I’m always happy to help you choose a location that aligns with your vision, outfits, and overall vibe for your session.


If you have a meaningful spot in mind that isn’t listed, I’m always open to new adventures — just let me know!

Planning tips & FAQ

How do I choose the right location for my session?

Think about the vibe you want — romantic, adventurous, or serene? I can guide you to locations that match your style, outfits, and the type of session you’re planning.

Do you travel outside Southern Oregon?

Yes! While Southern Oregon is home base, I love traveling for the perfect location. Locations in Northern California and along the coast are available with advanced notice.

Are all locations accessible year-round?

Most are, but some coastal and forest locations can be limited by tides, weather, or seasonal conditions. I always provide guidance to pick the safest, most photogenic time to visit.

Can we bring pets or props to the session?

Absolutely! Just let me know ahead of time so we can plan for the best locations that accommodate them safely.

What should we wear to match the location?

Soft, natural tones usually look best outdoors, but it depends on the setting. I can provide tips for colors, textures, and layers that complement each location.
