I have several “can’t fail, go-to'“ family photo locations in Knoxville that I love to recommend to families who are on the fence about location, but because I believe comfort is paramount, I will usually suggest your home first. If that is not an option, begin thinking about the general aesthetic that you envision for these portraits: Urban, crisp lines or soft, organic backdrops. Wherever we end up, the 2nd most important thing (next to comfort) will be a spot that has amazing light! Light, as you know, will add so much more dimension and life than any pretty background can.
Don’t get me wrong… I love a mamma who can rock her Christian Loubuotins in grass… but keep in mind that depending on the type of location(s) we choose, there is likely to be some walking from spot to spot.
