Madonna Mountain

Description: In a central location to SLO’s Downtown centre shops. this location offers oak trees, big lichen covered boulders, golden hillsides, and of course madonna mountains peak.

Why We Love it: This location is perfect for portraits that add natural colors to the backdrop of your photos. With greens in the winter and golden yellow in the summer, this location is very versatile in that it can be really what ever you need.

Pismo Beach

Why we love it: Pismo Beach is a huge tourist destination because of its natural beauty. The geology in this area offers vibrant colors while the ocean and sand offers more muted tones. How great to have both in one location!

SLO’s Terrace Hill
