Picking an Outdoor Phoenix, AZ Photoshoot Location

As a photographer I see various locations as  I go about my day to day life and think I want to do a photoshoot there….and there….and there too. So I understand that deciding on where to go for a photoshoot can be a hard choice but here is a bit about what different locations in the greater Phoenix area can offer. If you already have a location in mind and want to schedule your photoshoot today email me at [email protected].

DESERT
Living in AZ we live in a desert and are surrounded daily by it’s beauty. It took me moving to MI for a decade to return and realize the stunning artistry that the desert provides. There are a lot of different locations that offer the exquisiteness of this backdrop so if you want a photoshoot that brings with it mountains in the background and the elegance of the variety of cacti and succulents then a desert location might be perfect for you.

DOWNTOWN/RURUL
Phoenix has an impressive downtown area with graffiti and various walls, buildings and structures that can be used to create a gorgeous array of photos for a gallery. If you want a more modern backdrop and a rural feel with an edgy look then I would recommend a downtown location. Keep in mind there are other spots that offer the downtown feel besides downtown Phoenix.

HISTORIC FEEL
There are a few places that offer a historic feel to them with older buildings that can be used to create a more hometown feel to a photoshoot. If you love older buildings and shops that give your photos a more tranquil setting then you may want to consider using a historic sight and there are a few around the Phoenix area that are perfect.

GREENERY/NATURE
If you are looking for green grass and trees or flowers then we have a few options. Trees and grass are so different from what we normally see here that you may want something that stands out from the typical desert scenery. Flowers are a different story though. There is a local sunflower field that is open for 2 weeks in October so you will need to book early to ensure your spot. (There is an entrance fee that you will need pay per person besides the session fee.) Flowers here bloom usually in March but there is no set time for the beauty of the desert flowers that bloom so you will need to be flexible about the date.

SCHOOL
If you are a high school senior or a college graduate you may want to consider a photoshoot at your school. Are you an athlete? Maybe some photos on one of your schools ball fields? Are you proud of your alma mater? Maybe photos in front of Old Main? So if the school spirit strikes you let me know.  

Sometimes locations that you may not even consider produce beautiful images so trusting your photographer to pick out your location is also an option. Picking out a location can be a fun and exciting process! Pick a place the makes you smile and brings your heart joy and you it will show in the photos.
