One of my favorite locations, with my favorite spots right by the parking lot.  Nature, lakes, trees, and fields. A versatile location!  There's also the seasonal option to rent canoes!

Lebanon HillS,
Eagan

My new FAVORITE location, less than 30 minutes from Lakeville. This spot requires an added ten minute walk from the parking lot, but entirely worth it! A great option for something other than fields or woods, yet still gives a nature vibe.  And the evening light is SO DREAMY!

Cannon River,
cannon falls

A natural space filled with woods, tall grasses, and even a dried up creek bed filled with rocks.  When the sun is right, I love using the open field overlooking miles of nature as the backdrop!

Whitetail Woods,
farmington

A beautiful garden filled area, with light colored architecture, resulting in beautiful bright and airy photographs.

Rolling hills, tall grasses, as well as a charming cobblestone pathway. Of note, since it’s a conservation area, we do have to stick to the dedicated trails!

If you’re up for a hike and an adventure, this is your place!! Dreamy, romantic, adventurous.  I can't believe this is Minnesota, it reminds me of the mountains!

taylor's falls

This spot is near Archer’s cafe, the Stone Arch Bridge, and the iconic concrete rock, with views of Minneapolis, in a popular Minnesota location. Great spot for classic photos in the city.

saint anthony main,
minneapolis

Located in Minneapolis, just across the river from Saint Anthony Main. Here you'll find historic building ruins, mixed with lush greens- a hidden gem below the busy city!

A natural setting with paths, trees, that is right here in Lakeville.  The close location makes it ideal for many families.

mill ruin,
minneapolis

Great for fall orchard photos, only open seasonally. Also a great spot to pick up some pie and sip on hot apple cider! There are 2 orchards I shoot at, depending on availability.

Perfect for winter photos, with year round green pines, and tall trees.  Hansen Tree Farm in Ramsey, MN is another option, if you'd prefer north of the cities.
