Choosing the perfect location for your portrait session is just as important as what you wear or how you pose. The right backdrop can elevate your portraits and help tell your story in a meaningful way. Whether you’re envisioning an outdoor session surrounded by nature or the clean, modern look of a studio, I’m here to help you find the best location to bring your vision to life.

Outdoor Locations: Embracing Natural Beauty

Outdoor portrait sessions are a favorite for many clients because of the beautiful natural light and stunning backgrounds. In Orange County, we have access to incredible locations, from the beaches of Newport to picturesque parks and gardens. If you love the idea of capturing portraits with the ocean, rolling hills, or colorful gardens in the background, an outdoor session might be perfect for you.



Benefits of Outdoor Sessions:

  • Natural lighting that adds warmth and dimension to your portraits

  • Scenic backgrounds that complement your personal style

  • A relaxed, open environment that allows for more movement and candid moments

I’ll work with you to select the best outdoor location based on the look and feel you’re going for. Whether it’s the golden hour on the beach or the vibrant greenery of a park, we’ll create portraits that reflect your unique style and personality.

Studio Sessions: Classic and Controlled

For a more polished and controlled environment, a studio session offers the ideal setup. In the studio, we have full control over the lighting, background, and atmosphere. This allows for a more classic, timeless look that puts all the focus on you.

Benefits of Studio Sessions:

  • Complete control over lighting and background

  • Privacy and comfort in a controlled environment

  • A classic, clean look that works for professional headshots, fashion, or editorial-style portraits

If you prefer a minimalist aesthetic or want a more refined, professional look, a studio session can deliver exactly what you need.
