1. Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Rocky Steps: The iconic steps and surrounding area provide a classic Philadelphia backdrop. Capture your family with the museum in the background or reenact the famous Rocky Balboa run up the steps.

2. Rittenhouse Square: This beautiful park in the heart of Philadelphia features lush greenery, tree-lined paths, and a central fountain. It's a popular spot for outdoor portraits, especially during the spring and summer months.

3. Boathouse Row: Located along the Schuylkill River, Boathouse Row offers a unique and scenic backdrop with its historic rowing clubs. The row of boathouses lit up at night can create a stunning setting for your family portraits.

4. Old City and Elfreth's Alley: Explore the historic streets of Old City, including the charming Elfreth's Alley. The cobblestone streets, colonial architecture, and colorful facades make for an excellent backdrop with a touch of Philadelphia's history.

5. Philadelphia Magic Gardens: This mosaic art installation in South Street is a vibrant and eclectic location for family portraits. The colorful tiles, mirrored walls, and artistic elements provide a unique and visually appealing setting.

6. Fairmount Park: As one of the largest urban park systems in the United States, Fairmount Park offers a variety of picturesque locations. Choose from areas like Belmont Plateau, Shofuso Japanese House and Garden, or the Horticulture Center for beautiful natural backdrops.

7. Spruce Street Harbor Park: During the summer months, Spruce Street Harbor Park becomes a vibrant waterfront destination. The hammocks, floating gardens, and colorful LED lights can create a playful and lively atmosphere for your family portraits.

8. The rooftop at Cira Green. We’ve shot two sessions here and we absolutely love it. It’s an awesome rooftop that overlooks center city from West Philadelphia. It’s an awesome architecturally interesting place to shoot.

Peonies can be a beautiful addition to portrait sessions, adding color and texture to your photos. They come in a range of colors from crimson, magenta, pinks, peaches and whites.

Peonies are a popular flower for many reasons. Here are some of the reasons why peonies are great flowers:

1. Beautiful Appearance: Peonies are known for their large, showy blooms with vibrant colors ranging from pure white to deep reds and pinks. The fluffy petals create a romantic and elegant look.

2. Fragrance: Peonies have a sweet, pleasant fragrance that fills the air, making them an ideal choice for weddings, gardens, or any occasion where you want to add a touch of natural beauty.

3. Longevity: Peonies have a long blooming period, usually from late spring to early summer, and they can last for a week or more in a vase. They are also a hardy perennial, meaning they will come back year after year with proper care.

4. Versatility: Peonies can be used in a variety of ways, including as cut flowers, garden plants, or as a centerpiece. They also complement other flowers and foliage well in floral arrangements.

5. Symbolism: In many cultures, peonies symbolize romance, prosperity, good fortune, and honor. In some cultures, they are also believed to bring good luck and happiness.

   Overall, peonies are a great flower because of their beauty, fragrance, longevity, versatility, and symbolic meaning. They make a great addition to any garden, bouquet, or special occasion.

Happy Shooting, my friends!
