Find the perfect Location for your Photo Session
Determined by your vision, I’ll help you find the perfect setting for your session depending on the season. Rolling hills, flower fields or urban - you name it and we’ll make it happen! For locations further out, a travel fee will apply.
Open Fields
Open fields are really easy to find all around the KMC area here in Rheinland-Pfalz. Many of them come with beautiful views of the valleys in the back and depending on season, you might even find yourself in a field of beautiful wild flowers. Open fields often are great to capture gorgeous sunsets and are always a great option as they provide open space for kids and pets to run around. No matter what season - fields are always in style :)
Local Flower Fields
Flower fields are by far my favorite locations! I love all the color and texture these come with. And even though sometimes it takes a while to find the perfect one, or if it’s not the most easily accessible spot - it’s so worth it!!! The local flower field season starts in late April / early May with yellow rapeseed fields and last throughout late summer / early fall. And once the flowers are past their prime blossom season - don’t let the missing color hold you back! I find dried out fields also can make for beautiful photos as it gives the picture tons of texture! If you’re looking for a fun and happy, yet natural vibe - local flower fields are where it’s at!
Forest
Easy to find all around the local KMC area - the forests. The surrounding woods are one of the largest contiguous forest area in Germany and offer a variety of options! Strolling down a path through the woods makes for great photos, no matter if you’re planning on a family session, photos with your partner or even a boudoir session! My favorite time to take photos in the forest is definitely summer and fall time as it offers some shade over the hot summer months and during fall time, the whole forest turns into an ocean of colors, caused by changing leaves. And if you’d like to bring along your fur kids, this is the ultimate location for dogs :)
Your Home
The most comfortable, convenient and always available location is your own home. Not having to rely on weather or having to get everyone to a location further out is always a plus. Especially for newborns and younger kids an in-home session can be very beneficial because they are familiar with their surroundings, nobody is getting too cold or hot and guess what - bathroom is right there as well ;-) These sessions capture the daily life and have more of a lifestyle approach, which often give the photos even more meaning - and they’re filled with laughs and cuddles! On a different note, your home also makes for an exceptional location for a steamy boudoir or intimate couple session!
Burg Lichtenberg
The Lichtenberg Castle in Thallichtenberg near Kusel is a very popular location to take photos and that for very obvious reasons - the castle dating back to the 12th century is absolutely beautiful! Located only 30 minutes from Ramstein Air Base, this very intact castle offers a variety of backdrops from old ruins to stunning views overlooking the valleys. For everyone looking for the ultimate “German” feel in their photos, this is the spot for you! With its architectural highlights, it can be also a great location for winter time, as even without lush greenery, the castle is an eyecatcher! Best part - the castle grounds are open 24/7 and free of any entrance fees! One thing I will point out - it’s not for high heels! The castle grounds consist of cobble stone throughout, therefore wear comfortable shoes :) Best time of the day for this location is right before sunset as the castle is perfectly positioned besides a large field giving you the ultimate photograph with the valley and the caste in the back, and with a bit of luck a sunset on top. And if that wasn’t enough, the castle also hosts a restaurant, serving delicious traditional German food for you to enjoy after your session!
Mehlinger Heide
Heather fields are beautiful year round. During August, heather is usually at its peak, blooming in a sea of purple and lavender and we’re lucky to have the 2nd largest heather nature reserve right in front of our doorstep, in Mehlingen. But I also love this location in the winter months as the sandy and dry grounds give it a very distinctive look and lots of texture. This is a great location for kids as there is plenty of space to run around and it’s easy accessible. If you’re looking for the perfect mix of open space, texture and (during high season) purple, then this one is for you!
Locations outside of the KMC area
We have a lot of beautiful nature as well as traditional architecture right within the KMC area but if you’re looking for something different or have a special location in mind, just let me know and we’ll make it happen! A few personal favorite of mine are Ireland, the Alps and any type of beach destinations.
On-Site Locations
On-site locations, such as a coffee shop, your workplace or some other specific place that is directly connected to the purpose of your photo session can add a lot of value to the final outcome. These locations are a great choice for environmental portraits, such as business headshots but it could also be a place where you and your family like to hang out and will show you in your favorite environment.
