Destination Portrait Photography Will Help Fill Your Calendar

What does it mean to be a destination portrait photographer?

For many photographers, the phrase “destination photographer” conjures up images of getaways to exotic locations. If you’re landlocked in the middle of a snowstorm, a warm sunny beach sounds amazing.
