My Favorite Photoshoot Locations

One of the first questions I’m always asked is: “Where should we take our photos?”

From coastal beaches and quiet lakes to historic campuses and iconic city landmarks, this area offers such a beautiful variety of locations. And to be honest…I LOVE them all! Whether you’re drawn to something soft and natural, clean and editorial, or children friendly, I can help guide you toward a location that fits your vision and season of life.

Here are some of my favorite photoshoot locations in South Jersey, Philadelphia and nearby, and what makes each one so special.

Smithville Mansion and Park: Eastampton, NJ

I consider this place to be soft, romantic and peaceful. This is the perfect place to bring your family, especially young children as its open and safe. There are tree lined paths, wooden bridges, and an open grassy area to give you that storybook feel, especially at golden hour (yassss!).

Not Sure Which Location is Right for YOU?

That’s where I come in. I guide every client based on:

• Your family or relationship dynamic
• The season and lighting
• Your personal style
• Your location
• The story you want to tell

Wherever we shoot, your session will feel relaxed, intentional and centered on what you are all about. The location sets the scene, but you bring the magic.
