# 2 Chattanooga

This tate Park located in Cleveland, TN. This location is free! There are small streams, a large field, and beautiful log cabins surrounding the property. Make sure to pack a pair of shoes that can get a little muddy since the field can get a little messy after a rain! Keep in mind, flowers are seasonal and I cannot guarantee wild flowers at your session. 
 Note, this park does require people to leave between 6-8 PM (before sunset), depending on season. 

#5 Cleveland

This park has multiple bridges, a large open field, and a small stream throughout! Perfect for full or mini sessions and located close to the Cleveland City Center. There is no required leave time and its free! Public restrooms are available during all seasons but winter when it closes in the event of a freeze. Occasionally the field at this park is cut, so it may not be there for every session.

This is the perfect location for all of the nature lovers out there. Nestled one the banks of the Ocoee, this park surrounds the river with two large bridges, beautiful paved walk ways, and an overlook right up the road. Note, this park does require a $3 parking fee and some areas my not be shootable dependent on water levels. Also, there is a lot of walking at this park to hit all the different locations, so if you plan to wear heals, make sure to bring some walking shoes too!

This location does require permission to shoot at, so make sure to book this location in advance. With it being close to downtown, you can pair with #7 easily. 

#9 Cleveland

The Bluff Art District in Chattanooga is perfect if you want something more elegant, a bit old world, and if you want a bunch of different looks in a short distance. The art district DOES require clients to pay a $75 fee and receive a permit that must be obtained through the art district office. Although generally they are given quickly, they do prefer a two week notice. 

#4 Bluff Art District

I love this area of Chattanooga! It has a bit more of an artsy vibe with lots of cool murals, flower displays, etc. This area does require paid parking, but it generally does not cost more than $10. One BIG THING to keep in mind: the flower display in front of the flower shop does change based on the season, so please know that it may not always be the vibrant pink display you see. At Halloween, it generally changes to black and purple, and in the winter, red and white!

#3 Chattanooga

This hidden gem is located in Cleveland! This spot is great for a small family session, or part of a senior or couple session. Easily pair this locations with #6, 7, and 9.

#10 Cleveland

If you want something a little more classic with tons of variety, Lee University is a great choice. If you are limited on time and there is a fear of rain, Lee offers lots of covered areas that are still outside but provide plenty of shelter. Check Lee's event calendar ahead of time to make sure no major events are happening on campus. 

#11 Cleveland

If you want mountains without the travel, this is the perfect spot. Just 30 minutes outside of Cleveland, this mountain has three seperate overlooks! Perfect for when spring and summer arrive and locations like this start getting crowded. This location pairs well with #12 Benton.

#13 Benton

If you want something unique, this is the spot for you! Located off the Ocoee River, this is the perfect place if you don't mind getting a little wet. Keep in mind, this location is limited in variety, so if this is for an engagement or senior session, its best to pair with #12 or #16 and save this for the end towards sunset! 

#14 Benton

This small park is great if you want beachy vibes but live in Tennessee! Located off the Ocoee river, this small park is easily accessible and perfect for any type of session. The area works great for a full family session, or pair it with another #12 and #16. This spot does require a $3 parking fee. 

#15 Ocoee

This overlook is great if you have already planned a session at #16 since its just a short car ride. There are no parking fees for this spot, and its generally pretty empty if you book on a week day! This location does occasionally cut the field, so I cannot guarantee field shots each time at this overlook. 

#17 Ocoee

Love nature but want something a little different? Reliance has you covered with an old school gas station, river access, and a beautiful old school house. These locations are a bit of a drive, so this category really cannot be paired with other spots. Also, it is important to call ahead before shooting at the gas station for permission.
