At Impressions, we are very proud to offer a variety of session packages but our favorites are the ones that allow us to get outside for a bit. This senior season in particular, we have had the opportunity to go to some amazing locations!

One location we always look forward to photographing in is Gouveia Vineyard. Not only is it right up the street from the studio but no matter how many times we go, the images are always different! There's something about the constantly changing light and breeze that adds instant variety to the sessions.

Another location we have been to this year and always love going to is Meigs Point at Hammonasset Beach State Park. Any beach is wonderful in our eyes (the sound of the crashing waves, the breeze, salty air...I could go on for days...) but Meigs Point has all of the perks of an oversized beach (rocks, sea grass, sand, beautiful sunsets and light...) but is on a nice small scale that doesn't require a ton of walking.

If cars are your thing, we have found Beaumont Farm on E Center Street in Wallingford is a crowd favorite. Between the rusted antique truck and ever changing garden of flowers everyone finds a backdrop or angle they prefer.

Sometimes, the best location is right in your backyard! A lot of our senior clients live in homes with acres of beautiful property. One senior this year, lives on a farm and he invited us over for his outdoor portion. There we were able to capture some images of him with his dog and in different corners of his property that have always been his favorite places to hang out. We definitely encourage "at home" on location sessions!

Another Wallingford favorite is right in downtown, believe it or not! Something about the countless angles, backdrops and corners that allow for ever-changing variety and match of style to each senior we bring. Another "downtown" that's that isn't pictured in this collage, is New Haven. Both areas have so much to offer between buildings and school campuses (of course referring to Choate and Yale) There's so much to choose from.

Last but not least, this senior season we were able to photograph at Goodspeed Opera House for the first time! When the senior mentioned the location I was not only excited to go somewhere new but excited because it was a place I had never even thought of before! I look forward to going back to this location because there are still so many images I am excited to make, but didn't have time for in our session!

If you couldn't tell, going on location is definitely our favorite thing about senior season. There's just so much opportunity to keep your session personal and custom to who you are! If you have an idea for a location for any type of session, don't ever hesitate to ask! We would love to explore and help create beautiful photographs with you in places that mean so much!
