There’s something magical about summer in Minnesota, and the Flagger family’s photo session at Noerenberg Gardens in Wayzata captured that magic perfectly. Between the vibrant green grass, blooming gardens, and the sparkling backdrop of Lake Minnetonka, this session was the definition of summer beauty.
Noerenberg Gardens is one of my favorite hidden gems in the Twin Cities area. Located right on the shores of Lake Minnetonka, it features manicured gardens bursting with color, tall trees that give just the right amount of dappled light, and peaceful lake views that create a calming and beautiful environment for your family photos.
The Pfleghaar family took full advantage of the golden evening light during their weeknight session, and it truly shows in every image. One of the best parts about summer family sessions is that everyone is sun-kissed, glowing, and relaxed—there’s a carefree energy that only summer can bring. From bare feet in the grass to wind gently moving through the flowers, everything about this session reflected the joy of the season.
Why Book a Summer Family Session?
Summer is one of the best times to update your family photos. You don’t have to worry about layering clothes, everyone looks healthy and tan, and kids tend to be more relaxed in the slower summer pace. And since most summer sessions take place on weeknights, they’re easy to fit into your schedule without interrupting your weekend plans.
Plus—you’ll be one step ahead for the holidays. Booking your session now means your updated family photos will be ready in time for Christmas cards, framed gifts for grandparents, or new prints for your wall.
