My Top 5 Locations for Sessions

Location, location, location! The right location can be just the thing to take your photos

with Sarissa Melissa to the next level. So, I thought I’d post my Top 5 locations to give all

of you some ideas for Sessions that are the right fit for you.

THE STUDIO

There are many benefits in having your session in the studio. Firstly, we don’t have to worry about weather (unless a winter storm makes it unsafe to travel to the studio.) Speaking of winter, having a session in the studio means everyone stays warm and toasty.

The best reason to have a session in the studio is the ability to plan out all the details of your session and get creative.

From various backdrops, creative lighting, to making a stage for your little’s birthday session or newborn session. Getting creative in the studio also means taking your images, and turning them into composite images that look just like a fairytale!

THE JEFFERSON HISTORICAL SOCIETY

(PADDOCK MANSION)

The Jefferson Historical Society (Paddock Mansion) is one of my all time favorite places to photograph families, seniors, models. The grounds keepers do an incredible job with the landscaping and care of the gardens.

The best part is this beautiful location is conveniently located next door to my studio. It is also an ideal outdoor shoot location during months when the weather is unpredictable since there is shelter nearby.

YOUR HOME

Some of the best shoots I’ve ever done have been in people’s homes. Sessions at home tend to be a more comfortable and natural setting especially for families especially the kiddos!

Our homes are where we build our lives and grow our families, what better place to express your family’s bond than your own home? Plus a huge bonus… you’re setting will be absolutely unique to you!

I have had the joy of photographing families at their home playing on the jungle gym, kids packing a box for dad who is over seas, and a mom snuggling up to her baby in a colorful tutu.

THOMPSON PARK

This is a easy location to find that has plenty of room to roam about for photos!

Thompson Park is ideal for clients with pets or small children. Plenty of space in the great outdoors and you can treat yourself to a visit to the playground or the Zoo afterwards!

Thompson park is a great location all year long! It’s perfect for summer, winter and fall photos. Thompson park is a stunning location in the fall!

DOWNTOWN WATERTOWN

Downtown Watertown is an excellent area for photo sessions! There are so many historical buildings with great texture that will make the subject (you!) stand out!

Places like the Paddock and Library provide many opportunities for amazing shots! And don’t worry about parking because there is plenty of parking at the Masonic Temple where my studio is located and downtown is a short walk away!
