Photography Locations in Omaha & Lincoln, NE: Where We Shoot and When

Every session we plan starts with the same question: where? After years of shooting in Omaha and Lincoln, NE, these are the spots we keep coming back to, what each one is good for, and when it's at its best.

Why Omaha and Lincoln Photograph So Well

The range is the surprise. Downtown Omaha gives you brick and cobblestone in the historic Old Market; twenty minutes the other direction you have open prairie outside Lincoln. That's more variety than most metro areas twice the size, and it means we rarely have to travel far to match a backdrop to the people in front of the camera.

Top Locations in Omaha, NE

• The Old Market: Perfect for edgy, urban portrait photography and stylish engagement sessions with its cobblestone streets and brick facades.
• Lauritzen Gardens: An oasis of floral beauty, ideal for romantic wedding photography and vibrant family portraits.
• Standing Bear Lake: Great for sunset sessions, offering water reflections and golden hour magic.

Hidden Gems in Lincoln, NE

• Sunken Gardens: Consistently ranked as one of the best gardens in the country, this spot provides stunning floral displays that change every season.
• Pioneers Park Nature Center: With tall grasses and rustic trails, it's a top choice for couples and families wanting a natural, earthy vibe.
• Haymarket District: Similar to Omaha's Old Market but with its own distinct charm, the Haymarket is fantastic for commercial and lifestyle photography.

Beyond Nebraska

We're based in Omaha and shoot most weeks somewhere between the Old Market and the Haymarket. A few times a year we pack the kit for destination work out of state, and being centered in the Midwest makes either coast an easy reach.
