The location you choose could help us tell your story. If there is a place with significance to you- let's shoot there! Where you first met, where your family spent every vacation, the home you grew up in, where you first heard "I love you", etc...
Whether there's a certain theme you're going for or not, there are so many stunning places to choose from that will fit any vibe. I don't believe in hiding or gatekeeping locations because this work is not about me.
Let's find a location together and make it part of your story. these are some of my faves both in Gainesville and in surrounding areas <3
GAINESVILLE
The Hippodrome Theatre
downtown gainesville has so many options! my favorites here are the theatre, the side street, and tables outside the shops! it is also just down the road from depot park, which allows a combination of downtown vibes as well as greenery for your session.
Depot Park
the prettiest greenery and sunlight :)
(close enough to the hippodrome, we can combine locations!)
The Baughman Center
gorgeous everything. little chapel, cascading moss, reflective lake.
unfortunately the wildflowers (across the road) are seasonal, so we only have a short window in the springtime with them (mid April/early May)!
The Thomas Center
a Gainesville classic for so many reasons! the trees and lighting make for gorgeous photos
Cellon Oak Park
the largest live oak tree in florida!
this is my most popular location for family photos
Sweetwater Wetlands Park
gorgeous sunsets, boardwalk, tall grass, winding roads
Plaza of The Americas
UF Campus
(I like to park at Little Hall Lot!)
This is especially popular for grad photos, but it makes for gorgeous family or couples photos as well!
