As a Minneapolis photographer, I am always looking for new and exciting places to host family photo sessions. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing a family of four at Long Lake Park in New Brighton. It is an easy-to-access park in my area that I often forget about until I visit there – it’s free to use plus, it was not crowded at all when we arrived which was perfect for our shoot on a Saturday. The family consisted of two young children: an energetic older brother and a smiley baby sister. I have photographed this family before in my studio and they were just as much fun this time around!
The Benefits of Outdoor Photo Sessions
When you book an outdoor session, like the one I did at Long Lake Park, you get to take advantage of all that nature has to offer. The park provided us with lots of beautiful scenery including trees full of fall foliage, tall grasses, paths, and even a caboose. All these elements combined together made for some stunning photos that the family will be able to look back on fondly for years to come.
Another great benefit of outdoor sessions is that they can be tailored to fit any style or theme you desire! When shooting outdoors you have so many options available to you as far as backdrops go. For this particular session we started off on a path with beautiful fall foliage, moved to a grassy field then headed over to the caboose and the train museum continued shooting. This allowed us to capture different types of images without having to travel too far from one spot to the other.
Outdoor Photo Sessions are Fun for Everyone Involved
Photographing families outdoors is always more relaxed than shooting them inside (especially when little ones are involved). At Long Lake Park, kids are free to run around and explore. It was so wonderful seeing how happy everyone was! We also got some great shots of Mom and Dad alone by themselves which is something every couple should do at least once per year - after all it’s important for couples to document their relationship too aside from just their children’s lives!
Overall, my experience photographing this family was amazing! Long Lake is such a beautiful location with plenty of open space for kids (and adults) alike to run around in while getting some stunning photos taken along the way. If you're looking for a unique place where your whole family can feel comfortable during your next photo session then consider visiting the park - it won't disappoint! And don't forget about all those gorgeous backdrops available there; whether you want rustic landscapes or vibrant colors from nature - it's all there waiting for you! If you are interested in scheduling your next family session be sure to contact me.
