Here are some of my favorite local spots to shoot at!
Bayport, MN
St. Croix Savannah
Native prairie, wildflower meadow, grassland. There's some great terrain and amazing textures. Perfect for whimsical, bo-ho vibes. It really shines late summer through the fall. No dogs allowed at this spot.
Osceola, WI
Standing Cedars
This is a perfect location for portrait sessions. Great mowed trails through stunning native prairie, super quiet, and situated perfectly to catch the sunset glow. Dog friendly. Fantastic July - November.
Stillwater, MN
Downtown Stillwater
This one speaks for itself and is popular for a reason. There are no end to cute spots and textures. Plus, so many options for a date night after your session!
St. Paul, MN
Como Park
The exterior of the conservatory is such a beautiful backdrop at sunset! It literally glows. The surrounding park great options for variety within walking distance too! Amazing in the springtime when the trees are blooming!
Anywhere
Your Place
I'm obsessed with shooting in meaningful locations. Do you love your house? Or your family farm? Let's shoot there!
St. Paul, MN
Rice Park
An elegant, historical setting in the heart of St. Paul. The Public Library, the Landmark Center, the Ordway Theater, and The St. Paul hotel are all within walking distance!
Hudson, WI
Willow River State Park
The waterfall is what draws the crowds, but I'm obsessed with the limestone roads and sunset glow at Willow River. Its a large park with tons of space to explore!
Taylors Falls, MN
Interstate Park
Gorgeous river views and rock formations. I love the river valley by the canoe landing even more than the iconic rocks overlooking the St. Croix River. I don't recommend shooting here on weekends as its a popular place to be!
Roseville, MN
Harriet Alexander Nature Center
Love me a good boardwalk. This walkway fills up with the most stunning purple blooms in late summer and looks wonderful through late fall. This is my FAVORITE spot for family sessions in the Twin Cities.
