Where to next?
There SOOO many amazing locations in Denver, Colorado to do a branding or lifestyle shoot, or any shoot for that matter! So I’ve decided to make a blog post every so often of a few of my favorite spots to make the process of finding a location easier for anyone looking to do a shoot soon in Denver.

Pricing: $120-$200/hr (with a 2-hour minimum booking)
To start this list of some of the best locations for a branding or lifestyle shoot, I had to begin with one of my FAVORITE locations, Realm Denver. Not only is this space GORGEOUS but it has so many little nooks and areas to shoot in. It’s easy to get a variety of images out of this amazing space and the design is beautiful. The Hourly rate varies depending on the length of time you want to book for and which parts of the studio you would like to have access to. (BONUS: They also hold do events and small weddings in this space!)
Local Coffee Shop or Brewery

Another great option for some variety is to take photos at your favorite local coffee shop, brewery, winery, restaurant, wherever you want to support! A best practice is to note when that business may be on the slower side so that you don’t interrupt business in any way and you are less likely to invade the privacy of any of their patrons. (you could also call in advance and ask permission!)
Another great benefit to taking photos at local businesses, is that it gives you the opportunity credit and tag those businesses and hopefully bring them so more business as well! (maybe they will repost for you!) In the photos above, you can find Hudson Hill and Ratio Brewing – they were so great to shoot at!
Around the Neighborhood/the Streets/Local Park
Around the Neighborhood/the Streets/Local Park
Looking for a free option? Try just using the streets of your neighborhood or a local park! You don’t need some epic background to create good photos, you just need some good light and a background that make sense for you and your needs! Just be sure to always be respectful of the places you are in and check in advance if any locations (especially parks) require a permit.
Your home or office/space!
Another potentially free option for you is to shoot your branding photography in your home or office/workspace. Don’t stress if you feel like your space isn’t photo worthy, you would be surprised what you can do with a few props, a chair or a rug could with some good window light!

Okay so I have not had the pleasure of shooting in this studio yet but, look how gorgeous the light looks in these photos! This space also seems to have a bunch of little areas to shoot in which is great for getting a good variety of images, but they also have equipment available, giving you wayyy more options for lighting set ups and getting creative! Their Instagram looks killer and if you want to check it out you can do that HERE.
I hope this mini list was helpful and inspiring for planning your branding or lifestyle photoshoot! I can’t wait to continue to put these articles out there as I discover more and more amazing locations in Denver for photography.
