There are many, MANY options for outdoor photos. Basically, any place you suggest will work. However, there are a couple things to keep in mind when considering outdoor sessions.
1. Time of day.
It is best to take photos in the later afternoon when the sun is not high in the sky. Doing the session when the sunlight is bright and harsh causes strange shadows. Generally 3:30-5:30 are the best times of day to shoot.
2. Is there quite a bit of shade at your location?
We can pretty much do the session any time of day if we know that there will be plenty of shade available in the location you choose.
Below you'll find location suggestions. If they are highlighted the link will take you to an album I've put together of various images from that location.
