This page is to help you pick a location for your upcoming photo shoot! Let me know if you have any questions!

Frisco Commons

This park in midtown Frisco is a photographer fav and is beautiful spring - fall. Please note that the differences in photos are the changes in seasons 😃.

Heading 6

McCord Park - Little Elm

McCord Park has a mixture of shaded and open areas for an array of shots with different looks! It is in a valley, so sunset is about an hour earlier than elsewhere. The park is large so it's great for using my zoom lens and getting that beautiful "blur" behind you and your family. *Note - the park turns into a lake after any significant rain and sometimes has no grass.

Warren Sports Park - Frisco

A CGP Classic - prob my most popular location. Warren is known for bright and sun lit photos - with great accents to the photos for depth such as a bridge, a fence, and a pond. This area is best in the 1-2 hours before sunset, or in the morning before 930 am, as it can be very bright otherwise.

3)

Frisco Square

Frisco Square is SO diverse! Urban look, arched walkway, plus a green "park" area. You can't go wrong and you get a gallery full of options! Plus, the trees never loose their leaves, so it's the best winter option, in my opinion.

Adriatica - McKinney

Such a beautiful and popular area to shoot! A great European Village feel to the whole area - lots of places to pose. Perfect for families and seniors. Looks great year round! I do not recommend Friday/Saturday/Sunday night shoots here, as it's overrun with photographers/prom/homecoming/etc. The green hilly area is only available for sessions in the last 30 minutes of sunlight.

Christie's Studio

This natural light studio is set up in my Frisco home. It's tiny but mighty! Available for use - shiplap, brick, white, turquoise, and gray backgrounds! Here is a very details blog post showing lots of pictures of what I have available!

It has a white floor with white backdrop, white brick, and white with wainscoting and multiple props including a bed, chairs, couches, etc. This location is great for head shots, family sessions, milestones, etc. Please note - additional fee of $35 per half hour applies to this session location, as I do not own it and have to rent it in advance for your session.

Cotton Mill - Mckinney

This location is an additional $75/30 minute session due to rental fees.

AWESOME popular wedding rustic venue located in Downtown Mckinney. It has outdoor areas offered and inside -- usually we start inside and work our way outside, if there are no weddings scheduled that day.

The indoor areas are very raw - birds flying, some holes in the wood, etc. A waiver is required to shoot here. But worth it!

Great for newborns, lifestyle portraits, family sessions. etc. Please note - additional fee of $35 per half hour applies to this session location, as I do not own it and have to rent it in advance for your session.

This location is a small town downtown north of Frisco! Great year round, since things that are "green" aren't really showing.
