Venice Canals Location Information

Address: See attached map – parking can be tricky.  Park along Venice Blvd and walk into canals.  We will start at the bridge closest to this address - 2420 Strongs Drive.  Please note this is just an address to a home – we will not be using this house.  Just meet at the bridge nearest this house.  There is a pathway to get to the canals next to this home.  

Parking:  Find parking on S. Venice Blvd. It’s best to go west on Washington Blvd. and turn right on Speedway to access Venice going in the eastern direction.  

What to expect: I want to make sure you leave plenty of time for parking and for finding the bridge we will be using.  To get here you can park on Venice Blvd and then walk into the canals.   It is the large RED dropped pin at the top of the image.  

Backdrop:  Canals, white bridges and sidewalks.  There is a natural urban beauty to this area with the rose bushes that border the sidewalk.  

What to leave in the car:  sunglasses, phone, purse -- the less you have to carry the better.  Phones in men’s pockets never look good -- so if you must bring your phone please place it in your back pocket. 

FINAL TIPS:

• Please have your men clean shaven.  A rough 5 o’clock shadow doesn’t photograph well.
• Haircuts should be scheduled 2 weeks prior.  You don’t want to have the new haircut look. .  
• Try on clothes a week before our session -- buttons popping open on men’s shirts because they no longer fit should be avoided.
