The location of your senior portrait session is completely up to you! As you’ll see, most of our clients love showcasing the natural beauty of Rice Lake. For most of our sessions, outdoor, open-air environments (shade preferred) are always our first choice. There are great options all around this area, so even if you’ve never seen us photograph in a specific place before, we’re always up for exploring a new spot!

Think Outside the Box

When it comes to choosing a location, don’t be afraid to think outside the box! We encourage you to brainstorm unique places that you might have special access to that most people don’t. For example, maybe you (or someone you know) have access to an amazing location that would otherwise be off-limits, like a beautiful private cabin or a family farm. Spend a few minutes thinking about it and checking around with people. You’ll be surprised with what you come up with! If something seems out of reach, just remember: you never know until you ask!  In the past, our clients have secured permission to shoot in some pretty incredible places!

If you need some location ideas and inspiration, we have plenty! Check out our Instagram and our Senior Blogs! If there’s a certain session you really love, just let us know which one and we can look at doing some photos at that location if it’s available.

The 3 main categories of locations are: 

1. Downtown Photos
2. Field or Trail Photos
3. Outside the Box Photos
4. Sports Photos
