Not sure where you would like to have your photoshoot? No worries, I have several hot-spot locations that offer different scenic venues. Ultimately, we can have your photoshoot wherever you like, but if you are not sure then this list might give you a better feel for where you would like to have your photos taken :) These areas are local to the Branson area so it would be a max of a 20-minute drive.

The Waterfall Trail feels like stepping into an Ozark fairytale — mossy stone steps, towering bluffs, and a tucked-away seasonal waterfall that makes for a breathtaking focal point. It’s one of the more adventurous spots, with a bit of hiking involved, but the textures and light are absolutely worth it. The stone staircases and wooden footbridges give a rustic, storybook feel to portraits, while the waterfall creates a dreamy, peaceful atmosphere when it’s flowing.
Note: Best results after a good rain.
