Sunset is my favorite time to shoot in the field so if you are doing two locations, I typically save this one for last. Golden hour and blue hour are so beautiful here!

This is actually my backyard so you will have access to changing in the house/bathroom if needed.

Features:

• secluded location
• open field, pretty in all seasons
• access to change outfits
