In this episode of Lifestyle and Lenses, we’re talking all about the power of location in photography. Whether you’re scouting the perfect spot for a family session, mini shoot, or golden hour magic, the right location can make or break your photos.

We’re sharing our favorite tips for location scouting, how to find hidden gems in your area, and what to look for when choosing the perfect backdrop. Plus, we talk about how to work with what you’ve got—whether it’s a crowded park, unpredictable weather, or wild toddlers.

– How to find the best photography locations near you

– Tips for scouting new spots (even with kids in tow)
