Best Photography Spots for a Sedona Photoshoot

Sedona feels almost unreal the first time you see it. Massive red rock formations like Cathedral Rock and Bell Rock rise out of the desert, glowing especially at sunrise and sunset. Around town you’ll find art galleries, small shops, and places like the Chapel of the Holy Cross tucked right into the cliffs. It’s the kind of landscape that makes you want to stop every few minutes just to take it in.

Andrea was phenomenal to work with. She was so creative and really let our personalities shine through in the shoot. She knew the perfect location and time for lighting. It was a great experience and we were so happy to work with her!-DavidView Photographer profile
It was wonderful working with Andrea for our family photo session. We booked her for a quick session to take photos during a summer weekend mini-vacay in Sedona. She found a wonderful location close to our Airbnb and did a great job working with my little girls.

I will certainly book her again and recommend her to others.-SarahView Photographer profile
We were so very pleased with Maddi!! Her work is amazing! Her personality is loving! She was the perfect fit for our graduating senior! This goes for her assistant for the day Chloe as well!! We couldn’t have asked for a better team to take our daughter's graduation pictures in Sedona, Arizona! - The Barnes Family-KaylinView Photographer profile
Maddi was such a pleasure to work with for my maternity shoot in Sedona, AZ. She listened closely to my vision and helped to make me feel comfortable in front of the camera with a variety of different prompts and suggestions.

The photos were absolutely beautiful and I was shocked at how quickly Maddi was able to turn around a full gallery. Working with Maddi was a fantastic experience - highly recommend!-AlexandriaView Photographer profile
Maddi was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. My boyfriend (now fiancé) booked at the last minute, and she was able to accommodate us. It was such a funny experience because I obviously did not know who she was or was expecting to be proposed to. I handed her my cell phone randomly and asked her if she could take our photo on Devil's Bridge… surprise, she was our photographer. Maddi was so helpful in walking us through all the different photos, and she even accepted some of my ideas and suggestions. The photos came out so beautifully, and I would recommend her 100%! Maddi, thank you again for making our special moment even better than I could’ve asked for!-Richard & AshleyView Photographer profile
My fiancé and I had an incredible experience with Maddi as our photographer. She was extremely professional and prompt with her preparation, communication, and the way she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She was so much fun to work with, and it is obvious how much experience and expertise she has. She captured my proposal with amazing photos and helped make it an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend her to anyone in Arizona looking to get their photos taken!-LoganView Photographer profile
I had an amazing experience working Andrea. She is incredibly professional and truly knows her craft. She provided great guidance throughout the photo session, helping us feel comfortable and confident. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and skilled photographer!-Angelina & WyattView Photographer profile
We booked Maddi for an engagement shoot in Sedona while attending a family wedding. We did a golden hour shoot after a full day of travel, 20 minutes to get ready, and zero preparation for our photoshoot. Maddi was AMAZING. She was so patient with us - she had all kinds of suggestions for poses to help us figure out what worked best, and we had so much fun taking our pictures. Maddi was not only professional, but her experience shows in the photos we got back. We will cherish them forever, and booking our shoot with Maddi was the best decision we could have made! I can't wait to have them framed for our wedding.-MaddieView Photographer profile
Maddi gave us a beautiful and light-hearted 30-minute photograph shoot! She took our photo location suggestions and perfectly captured our friendship amongst the desert ambiance. She was a dream to work with!-Ashley Z.View Photographer profile
Meeting and working with Maddie was such a wonderful experience for our family, and we have the most beautiful memories that will last us a lifetime. She did a graduation photoshoot and a family photoshoot for us in the Sedona area in October 2024. I cannot say enough about how professional and kind she was, and her pictures were top-notch, and she had our pictures to us so fast! I loved all of the pictures that she took of us. She is an amazing photographer. I would recommend her to anyone who asked. Don't hesitate to book her.-Priya A.View Photographer profile
