I had the pleasure of photographing 8 rolly, polly English Bulldog puppies and their momma at the gorgeous Highland Hills Venue. These insanely cute puppies belong to the venue owner, so it was fitting to do the session there. I'm so glad we did, because the location is amazing!
Nestled in the Appalachian foothills outside of Newark, Ohio. Highland Hills Venue is a photographer's dream. They have a gorgeous wooden barn with outdoor string lights, a beautiful view of the surrounding hills, a pond with fountain, a vintage truck, and horses, longhorns, and highland cows. If you're looking for an event venue for a wedding, party, or as an amazing photo shoot location, I highly recommend checking them out!
The center piece of the venue is a large, rustic barn. I liked that the neutral wood colors and textures made a simple yet attractive backdrop.
On the back side of the barn is a nice covered patio with string lights. This spot overlooks the pastures where the longhorns and Scottish highland cows reside. I especially love that this patio and barn is slightly higher elevation than other areas of the property. This allowed me to get an unobstructed view of the hills and sky in the background.
The whole venue is amazing, but I think my favorite spot was the cute vintage pickup truck by the pond with the Appalachian mountain foothills in the background. What a perfect setting for pet photos!
