ANY QUESTIONS?
For sure we would like to avoid rain, wind, heat, or cold, these conditions are definitely not going to help us create beautiful work, unless we have an assistant, heater, water, or anything that would help your family to feel warm/cool or just comfortable. In case of bad weather conditions, I usually offer to reschedule to save your money and time.
• SUNNY day
I am more than happy to have our session on a sunny day, however, we might need to follow some rules to get the best lighting:
-If possible, have the session before 10 am or after 4 pm.
-Choose a location where we could hide from the sun (shadows, trees, buildings, whatever you prefer).
• CLOUDY day
Cloudy weather is perfect for an outside photoshoot! We can go anywhere at anytime!
My purpose is to make our photoshoot convenient, as well as creative and memorable. Location is a big part of a successful photography session. Location helps to create the atmosphere and express the style you would like to show on your photos. It can be historical, romantic, tropical, country-style, urban, and a lot more. We can go to a park, or visit historical center, we can see the mountains, waterfalls, or botanical gardens, whatever your heart wishes.
I am a very active person and whenever I have a free minute I explore: for the past 5 years I have been in more than 270 locations in DC, VA, MD, FL, NY, MA, PA, WA, and even on the Bahamas.
In order to choose the perfect location for you I would like to know some details:
-What area/city are you located at?
-How far are you willing to travel?
-What style of session would you prefer to have: romantic/urban/historical/more nature?
Please feel free to include this small questions to your inquiry and I will be happy to offer you some options right away!

And it’s not crazy crowded!
• CLEARWATER BEACH
-If we go a little north from the “hotel area” it’s not crowded and the sunsets are beautiful on that side!

-Perfect spot for a sunset photoshoot! Beach, beach lifeguard house, rocks, no waves, lots of seagulls, very cool palm trees right on the beach, and a little piece of “CA vibes” (that’s how I call it There is just one corner with rocks and greens that looks like a CA beach a little)! Almost no people! There is also a beautiful park with lots of shades and trees!

Inside you will find lots of cool artsy shops, bars, and restaurants! Pretty cool for a photoshoot!
