The spots

Where I like to shoot

Permit details checked October 2026. Rules and fees change, so I confirm with the venue before every booking.

A walkable town center with fountains, storefronts and Heritage Square, which hosts a big tree for the holidays.

Permits: LaCenterra is private property, so I check their photography policy before scheduling.

Historic buildings and a small-town feel. The city holds its tree lighting here in early December.
