Behind the scenes location scouting by your family photographer. When you request a location…we do a project!

Family Portrait Photographer | Location Scouting | Pre-Session Prep | IL

Something you may not know about time factored into sessions is that a visit is made to your location prior to your session to seek out the best spots and check on lighting. The funny part is, you never know what lighting is going to be like on the actual day. Nevertheless, this is part of the process of booking a session and location.

The scouting:

Here’s another thing, there is absolutely no control over public property. A field of wild flowers can disappear quickly. That’s part of why I scout ahead of time, to find a backup area near the planned location. Always have a Plan B. Actually, have all the plans because I’ve pulled up to controlled burns of an entire part of a forest preserve during a scout.

This girl loves squeezing in a photo project with me. My youngest scouts with me as well, but 3-year-olds don’t care if you have methods to these scouting adventures. They have their own plans the moment their tiny shoes hit the dirt. So even though he’s a natural and comfortable in front of the camera, he’s busy.  My middle hasn’t been a fan of the camera for a long time, possibly making him my most lightly photographed child. We work around it and keep it short while still documenting the important things. The happy word for him is fast and scouting is not fast.
