My Favorite Beautiful CT Locations to Shoot

I’m a CT pet photographer located in Portland but shoot all over New England. Our Sessions are open for outdoor, in-home, airbnb, and studio locations.

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 always scout out locations before shooting, and I send Personalized Location Guides to every Client based on preference, desires, and Travel.

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.
