Locations
I'm sure there are many locations to take photographs. I am open to any location of your choosing. Below are just a few places that I have been that would make wonderful locations for your photos. You can choose any one of them, or tell me about your own. All places are inviting any time of year. However, when choosing the type of photo you would like to share with your loved ones, the locations could very well be part of your personality. If your a big sports fan, then choose a ballfield, or stadium. Its completely up to you. If you have any suggestions for locations that I could add on here, please feel free to suggest any on my "Your Thoughts" link.

Chateau On The Lake
Chateau On The Lake located in Branson Missouri offers a variety of photo spots. With its beauiful flower arrangemnet water fall, to its bench that overlooks the lake, Chateau is definately a place of beauty.
Stonebridge
Stonebridge is a gated luxury home establishment. I cannot even tell you how many areas of this spectacular place has to offer for photos. You will just have to see for yourself. However, it is gated, so admittance can be sometimes tricky. Usually they are pretty good about letting photographers in, but its best to come here during the weekdays.
It is located in Branson Missouri across the way from the entrance into Silver Dollar City.
