Have you ever been somewhere and thought “wow” this would be an amazing place to take pictures. It happens to me all the time.

I think the following types of places make great backdrops for photo sessions:

Your backyard (Yes! Fences, trees, grass, pavement, sky are all great backdrops!)
Your local park (A park in Arlington I really like for photo sessions.)
A cobblestone alley (Check out some in Alexandria, VA.)
A waterfront (Several places around the DC Metro area.)
A pedestrian street (Here is one in Bethesda.)

If you have an idea for a spot let me know. Or if you have a specific park or place send me an email alison@desilvastudios.com.

A Note from Alison —

There is so much happiness family and pets bring to life and capturing these moments during a session allows me to share this happiness with others. I can’t help but to have a good time when I am on the job. My studio provides pet and family photography in DC and Northern Virginia, including Reston, Arlington, Alexandria and other VA locations. Contact me with any questions about my sessions. I look forward to working with you!
