The Right Location
When picking a great location is to match the general vibe, theme or concept you are aiming to achieve.
The best location is the one that makes you feel your best!
This guide will give you a few of my locations I love. It will have pictures, location, and a description to help in search for what you in vision for your session.
Downtown Spokane
If you're looking for an urban vibe with lots of options, then Downtown Spokane is great. You have parking garages, street photography, by the river, and even some graffiti. Click picture of a gallery.
Downtown Spokane
Slavin
James T Slavin Conversation Area is off Hwy 195 just 30 mins from the Spokane Valley. It has a wide-open field, wonderful Aspen trees, and if you are willing to walk a bit, a lake. This spot would be great any time of year and great for sunset pictures. Click the picture for the gallery.

Spokane River at Mirabeau Park
This location is great all year round. It is right by the river, so you get the water. There is a big rock wall the kids love to climb. And at the top some trees. Click picture to see gallery.
Click the photo for directions- If you are coming from Indiana, it will be the parking lot across from the waterfall by the river.
The Tunnel on Madison Rd
This location is on the way out to Valley ford, WA, about 10 mins for the valley. It has the best of both worlds. You have the Urban feel of the tunnel and road and then right next to the tunnel is an open field with trees and tall grass. This location would be great any time of year!! There is a lot of traffic, so maybe not the best for little children. Click on the picture to see the gallery.
