Now that you have booked a session, where are we going to meet? Where is your session going to take place? I will go through a couple of local beautiful locations here in Ashburn and Leesburg that are amazing for sessions. I am always open to locations that are not listed, these are just some of my favorites.

Morven Park- One of my favorites due to how many backgrounds you can get in your session. Located in Leesburg. Morven's Park has 1,000 acres of lawns, fields. wooded area, gardens, brick steps and lots more. And you can't forget about the Mansion that was transformed from a tiny field stone farmhouse. Be ready to walk with this location! You have to have a permit to photograph here and lucky for my clients I have been a member for years now. I love being apart of such a beautiful location. Also, to note, there are two bathrooms located on site.
