This location guide features some of my favorite places I've shot at in the last few years. Each location has something great to offer- locations set the vibe, mood, and aesthetic of your photoshoot so think about what vibe you are looking for in your photoshoot vision with me!

Want more options? I have a list at the end of places I haven't shot at but are on my list!

Roger Williams Park, Providence

I love this location so much for any kind of session because this park is so big and offers a wide variety of places to shoot at! There is the Japanese Garden, with the Bandstand across the pond, which makes for a great backdrop. There are a couple of cute buildings as well, like the boathouse, casino, and Betsey Williams cottage. One of my favorite spots here is the Temple to Music, a gorgeous marble temple with pretty columns and a pond in the background.

This is in the same park but it's an extra $150 fee and permit to shoot inside the beautiful botanical gardens and it closes at 4PM.

Rhode Island State House, Providence

The state house is a great spot for anyone looking for a cute city vibe for their photos. I love the beautiful marble stairs, columns, and architecture of this stunning building.
