The most asked question I receive is, "Where is a good place for our photo shoot?" 

My answer? "Here's a list! Take your pick." 

Location is definitely one of those most important aspects of a photo session. Some want an urban look so places like Downtown Harrisonburg, Bridgewater, and Staunton are best. Others want a lot of greenery and flowers, so parks like JMU Arboretum, Wildwood Park, or Shen Lake are good options. It's all about the look your are going for.
