sparkling fabric and porcelain skin.

   Beautiful flower crown, antique carousel horse, gothic cross, vintage victorian dress, 

what else is there.   

Evander Preston Jewelry, graciously loaned us this antique horse for the shoot. 

Because of the weight of the horse,   we had to put it on a dolly and 

wheel it down the middle of the street to the location, 2 blocks away.   

Then 4 people lifted it on top of an old wooden picnic table and we bolted it down 

to keep the horse and Aria, safe.

Aria, loved this shoot.  She felt like a princess.

When I shoot natural light the most important thing is to find a magical location.    I look for a 

place where the light is beautiful and then adjust my lens choice to fit the subject and the 

background.

Location scouting is one of the most important and least understood things that a photographer 

must learn.  Finding a magical location that will fit my needs, for at particular shoot,  requires preparation.  

The  LOCATION BOOK

Your camera phone or small digital camera is all you need and you can easily make up a 

location book of fabulous spots.

Shoot lots of photos of places you like, print them out and put them in a book.  

Remember,to take notes on  time of day and season of the year.

Now, when you are ready to shoot and you need the right location,  you already have the

Perfect Magical Place.
