Often when talking to clients, I am asked: “Where would you recommend we do the shoot?” Although there are so many places in the Twin Cities to photograph, here are 3 of my favorites and why.
1) Mill City/ Stone Arch Bridge area. You want urban, you got it. You want park, its here too. You want unique, let’s find it! I have to say that this is one of the MOST popular ares in the Cities to shoot at. Every time I am down in the area, I kid you not, there is at least one other professional down there with a family, senior or wedding party. And there is good reason for it… there are so many places to shoot in all within walking distance.
2) Loring Park/ Sculpture Gardens/ Walker. Another place that has so many different areas all within walking distance. Every time I go, I try to find another location to take my clients to, and I have not been disappointed yet. It has an artsy feel, and there is an indoor conservatory and a the General Mills Hall in the Walker to go in just in case there is rain. Plus, this location is about 10 minutes from my house. LOVE it!
3) Your home. When a child is in his/ her home environment they are just so much easier to photograph. They want to show you their toys and their room and the cute little dress or animal that grandma just bought them. Plus trying to get out the door keeping everyone clean and neat for photos is sometimes very difficult (we have 3; been there, done that ). Couples are sweet and beautiful in the space that they created and more of their personality shines through. Basically it is YOU! and that is what I love photographing.
I’d love to do a shoot for you in one of these locations. Let me know, especially while the Fall sale is going on!
And the vast difference between boys and girls: forget smelling the flowers, DESTROY them!
In August this little baby girl will make her appearance. I can not wait to do more photos of this beautiful family.
And of course I could not leave without bringing in the grandparents with all their beautiful grandchildren!
