Here are a few of my favorite locations:

  • Example: Both studio rooms used for an indoor family session

• Wallace Park (DTC) - also never used this location but heard it's great, if you know of it or if it's close to you!

• Silo Park (something a little more east) - I remember it was a great little spot, but don't have good examples from it

• South Glen Mall or Aspen Grove Mall - this is fun if you want something a little more urban, perhaps incorporating some shop signs, the fountain or the interesting stone and brick on the buildings
