Location If your home is one that Chip and Joanna would be proud of, let’s chat about shooting there!
That certainly keeps things simple, and whenever shooting at home is an option, I love how relaxed it helps my clients feel. But if a well-decorated, well-lit, onbrand home isn’t your story, don’t sweat! Part of planning your session involves choosing an appropriate backdrop for it all- if your home isn’t “on-brand,” we still have a ton of other options. More than half of my clients end up choosing an off-site location for their session (I did, when I had my portraits taken!).

The top place I recommend looking is Airbnb. Or if there’s an event venue in your area that immediately comes to mind, it doesn’t hurt to reach out and ask if they have an hourly rate for a session in the middle of the week. If you go the Airbnb route, you’ll likely need to reserve two nights to give us enough time for prep + shooting.
