Hm, What's My Favorite Place to Shoot?

Kristen Marcus

First of all, why would you care about this? WELL, when choosing your portrait location you want your photographer to be inspired by the space. Different photographers have different styles and places they enjoy shooting in. When picking your photographer, it’s important to know these things! Some ways you can find out where they like to shoot is point blank asking them, or looking at where they shoot frequently. Once seeing what they love, will help you choose a beautiful space that will inspire them when having your portraits taken. That space could be the photographer’s favorite place to shoot or somewhere similar.

So, what is my favorite place to shoot??

FORT CONDE INN, OF COURSE!

WHY IS IT MY FAVORITE?

For starters, I got married there. That is a HUGE reason why I love the space!! But, there are other factors that I love as well from a photographer’s point of view.

  1. BEAUTIFUL LIGHTING

    ** This is SO important when choosing a location!! I’m a natural light photographer which means I use the light provided. I don’t have a huge set up of flashes to create fake lighting. Fort Conde Inn has stunning lighting during the golden hour which makes it a beautiful place to shoot.

  2. TONS OF OPTIONS

    ** Options are crucial to creating a full gallery. It could be as simple as an open field with a tree in the background. This would give us the choice of using the grass, the tree, and a blanket for some flare. Fort Conde Inn has multiple different background options and things that could be incorporated into your photoshoot.

  3. GREAT MOOD

    ** The feel and mood of Fort Conde Inn is ….

  4. DRESS OPTIONS

    ** This space allows you to get dressed up or dressed down and you’ll fit right in either way. It makes it easy to dress comfortably and how the mood you want to portray in your portraits.

  5. BEAUTIFUL DOWNTOWN MOBILE

    ** Downtown Mobile is absolutely beautiful with tons of different shooting options. If you book an hour session, we could spend time shooting at my favorite place and some time exploring downtown for beautiful spots. Some of my favorite photoshoots have taken place in Downtown Mobile and I’m always thrilled when people ask to shoot there!
