Locations

I shoot on location at our beautiful Lewes & Rehoboth Beaches and local in town spots as well as several farms in the area.

The State Park beaches & woods are a fantastic backdrop for your photos. Keep in mind that if you don't have a yearly pass, each car will be charged a $5 fee to park in the DE State Park. This is not included in your session fee. I have permits to shoot in the DE State Parks but that doesn't include the daily entrance fee per car. I highly recommend this as a location as their beaches are stunning and provide a beautiful, natural look to your photos without having other beachgoers "photobomb" us during the busy season.

All public locations do not require advance notice (beach, in town, breakwater trail) but any of the private venues do require advance booking. Some do ask a fee and those fee’s are not included in the session price. You can reserve the venue and pay the fee after a session spot is booked with LNP. Info on how to reach out to the venues are listed below on the locations that require booking.

session times

I offer sessions on Sunday - Friday evenings. All outdoor sessions are done during the "magic hour" which is the hour before sunset. Start time will vary depending on the time of year so keep that in mind when scheduling if you have little ones. Fall sessions can be as early as 3:30 when the days are the shortest and summer sessions can start as late as 7:45 when the days are the longest.

Newborn sessions are done in the middle of the day when we get the most sunlight coming through the windows.

All sessions are weather pending. The forecast changes so much that I typically won’t call a shoot a rainout until the morning of the scheduled session unless you are traveling from another state. I have shot some beautiful sunsets on nights that were looking like storms so it’s best to wait until at least 8 hours before the session to be able to predict weather. If we end up with rain on the evening of our scheduled shoot then I will do my best to reschedule and get you in as soon as possible. I have rain dates built into my calendar so even if you don’t see open dates on my online schedule, there is at least one day a week that is open for a rain date.

 

Photos taken at some of my favorite spots:


Cape Henlopen State Park: Lewes Entrance, Oceanside by the McBride Bath house


Cape Henlopen State Park: Rehoboth Entrance, Gordon's Pond (trail & ocean)


Cape Henlopen State Park: Lewes Entrance, Bayside (Lighthouse)

This location is best when the session time coincides with a low tide. During high tide the beach by the lighthouse is very narrow. At low tide we get those beautiful sand bars. You can check tide charts here:

Cape Henlopen State Park: The Jetty at Herring Point, Oceanside


Historic Lewes: Downtown & Canal


Brittingham Farms - Millsboro, DE

This beautiful farm just to the west of 113 is where we have held our Little Lamb minis for the last 2 years. The owners have now opened up the farm for sessions. This farm has vast fields of Lavender that bloom in the summer as well as trails, tall grasses and ponds that are beautiful year round. There is a $25 fee to use the farm ($50 during lavender season) that you can pay directly to the owner if you choose this location. For more information and to book this location you can visit their website here:

The Covered Bridge Inn / Hopkins Heartland: Fisher Rd. in Lewes

Note: sessions are only available here with the owner’s permission. Reservations can be made once you know your session date & time. Weekdays have much more availability than weekends due to events going on at the farm. A $25 fee can be paid directly to the owner for use of the property and can be booked here:

Anchored Acres - Milton, DE

This little farm nestled back in the woods off Cool Spring Road in Milton is where I call home and have now opened it up for sessions. Sessions here are best from May - October when the trees are full of leaves and the grass is lush and green. I offer mini sessions here in the Spring where the little ones can hold ducklings and feed the horses and I also hold mini sessions here in Fall with a Christmas vibe. Full sessions can also take place here around the ponds and horses and wooded areas.


The Breakwater Trail


Inlet Bridge - Bethany Beach, DE

Note: Sessions are not available here Thursday-Monday during the Summer months (June-August) as it gets quite crowded there with people in the background and traffic makes this locations too far during the summer months. This is the furthest South I travel for a session.
