It’s no secret that I’m primarily a natural light photographer and for that reason I absolutely LOVE shooting outdoors.  But now that summer is upon us and temperatures increase, particularly here in the South, it’s time to look at moving things inside.  I always recommend to any client looking to shoot during the summer months that they may want to consider an indoor location.  Not only will it help keep you cool, but we won’t have to concern ourselves with the occasional summer thunderstorm as well.  When looking for a space make sure it has great natural lighting (think lots of windows), an open feel about it and light colored walls, ceilings and furniture.  The more light the better 😉 I have had the pleasure of shooting in several beautiful locations in and around Charlotte and the list below are just a few of my favorites.  Check them out and see if it’s the right fit for your next shoot:

If none of these spaces fit your vision then make sure to check out Peerspace and Home Studio List.  These websites are similar to Airbnb and allow you to book a house or commercial space on an hourly basis for photoshoot purposes.  They provide great options for rental homes/spaces to look into for your next session!  If you’re booking a photoshoot between June – August and your session is over 30 minutes in length I HIGHLY recommend and indoor location…trust me, you’ll thank me later 😉
