My Favorite Beautiful CT Locations to Shoot

I’m a CT pet photographer located in Southington but shoot all over New England. Many times when booking a session, choosing the just-right location can be a daunting for clients.

My job is to make this process as smooth as possible!

Here are some questions to consider when talking location:

What type of setting are you most comfortable? What best represents your family “vibe”? Are you beach-goers, hikers, homebodies? There’s no wrong answer, but your photos should frame who YOU are.

Here is a short list of some of my favorite spots to shoot. I’ve divided them into location “types.” If you’re interested in shooting somewhere that isn’t listed, that’s absolutely okay. I always scout out locations before shooting. If I haven’t yet scouted, been there, and shot there, I haven’t yet listed it!

You can visit my Gallery Page to see some of these working in real life.

All of the listed locations are pet-friendly– even better!

Treat this not as a comprehensive final list of choices, but rather see it as a starting point.
