My Favorite Spots in the
Coastal Bend
Choosing where we meet for your session is very important as the location of your session will have a huge impact on the look and feel of your final gallery of photos.
Remember, these are just a few of my favorite locations! I'm always happy to explore and shoot in new places so if you have a special spot in mind, don't hesitate to tell me about it!
