Centennial Lakes Park Photo Archives

Centennial Lakes Family Photography

I always love autumn portrait sessions because of the gorgeous fall color. This year I was especially excited to have an opportunity to photograph a fall family session at the beautiful Centennial Lakes Park in Edina. Sandra gave me a call and wanted photos with her son and his wife, as well as their two grandchildren. I was so honored they gave me a call. And we had so much fun!

Family and Child Photography MN

We met up on a MN October day – a bit chilly and overcast, but the colors were beautiful nonetheless. We meandered around the lake and photographed the family together on the beautiful rock walls, gardens and benches near the lakeside of Centennial Lakes Park. The kiddos were excited to be out and playing around with grandma and grandpa, and the grandparents and parents were thankful to get beautiful photos with them together. Photos like these are so important, especially during the daily reminders of those we miss during our worldwide pandemic.

When we were finished with the photos, I met up again with Sandra and Gary, and they chose their favorite portraits. They created a number of beautiful matted fine art prints to cherish in their home. I cannot wait to see them in their frames!

Thank You!

Centennial Lakes Park Engagement Photography

Amanda and Dan were engaged in December of 2013. They were excited to have their Centennial Lakes Park engagement photos taken at the same location and time of year that they were engaged.

Minneapolis Engagement Photography

We went to Centennial Lakes Park because that is where Dan proposed to Amanda. More specifically, he asked her right on the beautiful bridge overlooking the lakes! It was a pretty blustery January day for our visit. We couldn’t complain too much, as the two days prior to our session saw another polar vortex closing the schools in Minnesota. That was the third time this year! It was a “balmy” 24 degree day, but the wind really made it bitter. Amanda and Dan were champs though — they were great at throwing off their coats when the time was right to get our photos, they stood on the bridge amid the freezing wind, and they even laid on the ice, all in the name of capturing great photos! Here are just a few of their images to share.

Thank You!

Thanks for working with me as your engagement photographer, Amanda and Dan. I loved creating your Centennial Lakes Park engagement photos. I’m so excited for your big day in August, and I’m pretty sure there will be no sign of a polar vortex!
