It’s all about LOCATION! OK… it is not ALL about location - there are so many things that go into great photography and location just happens to be one of them. I guarantee we would get great pictures at ANY location we choose, however, I thought I would write about some of my favorite locations to photograph. Fish Lake Park – Maple Grove, MN Fish Lake Park is one of my favorite places for a photo shoot…especially in the fall. It has everything you could ask for – a lake, sand, rocks, steps, trails, a bridge, and trees (with beautiful colors in the Fall). If you are going for more of an Urban feel, then this is not the location for you – but if you want the things I just listed, it’s perfect. Even though I love Fish Lake Park – I am always open to trying new parks and locations! Stone Arch Bridge/Saint Anthony Main area – Minneapolis, MN The Stone Arch Bridge/Saint Anthony Main area is another one of my favorite places for photo shoots. This is the option to choose if you want an Urban feel to your images with buildings and rustic elements. The only downside to this area is it is highly popular and gets crowded by other photographers and photo sessions at times. Still…. a great option and easy to work around the crowds! Hilde Performance Center – Plymouth, MN The Hilde Performance Center in Plymouth is a bit of a hidden gem. We actually took some of my wedding pictures at this location and I have also done a maternity photoshoot here. There is a fountain area with some foliage and a nice pond with a fountain in it. If you walk far enough through the trails, there is a also a nice bridge that leads to the Millennium Gardens at Plymouth Creek Center. This is a great low-key area for a photoshoot and it produces some great images! Rosland Park – Edina, MN Rosland Park is an interesting location hidden right next to the highway of 62 and France Ave. The location is great for spring and late fall. In the spring, the trees bud some beautiful flowers and in the late fall, there are some great cattail type weeds and other colors. Other great locations for photoshoots: Coon Rapids Dam, Lake Riley Park (Eden Prairie), Rustica (Eden Prairie)
