Senior Guy Photography MN | Nik

By Joanna Carina Leave a Comment

Hidden Falls Park Senior Photos

I was contacted by Nik’s mom looking for a senior portrait photoshoot. She talked about Nik’s love of camping, fishing, hiking and nature in general. It made me think of some great options in the Twin Cities area for his photos, and he loved the idea of Hidden Falls Regional Park. It has a waterfall and woods, as well as the riverside area and beach. It was perfect for him!

We met up on a beautiful late summer afternoon. We photographed Nik near the waterfall, throughout the woods, as well as on the beach by the riverside. Everything looked so beautiful – even the sunset was spectacular!

Once we were finished, I invited Nik and his family out to my St Paul studio to show them the final “best-of-the-best” photos from Nik’s portraits. We chose through their favorites and settled on some gorgeous matted fine art prints to treasure forever. I cannot wait to see them in person when they arrive from Graphistudio in Italy.

Thank You!

Thank you, Nik, for choosing to work with me for your senior portrait photography. I had so much fun working with you and your family, and I am so happy that you love your photographs. And Nik, best of luck with your future endeavors!

Hidden Falls Regional Park Engagement Photography | Karen + Harrison

By Joanna Carina Leave a Comment

Minneapolis Engagement Photography

When Karen + Harrison were getting married, our first step was working on their engagement photos. They were so excited about doing engagement photography! They were new to the Twin Cities area, and loved hiking and spending time together in nature. I gave them a few location ideas, and they decided to try Hidden Falls Regional Park prewedding photography. I had never photographed a session there before, and I’ve always wanted to try it. Hidden Falls Park certainly did not disappoint. It was absolutely spectacular for our photo session!

Hidden Falls Park Engagement Session

We were lucky that the water was pretty high during this point of the year. Usually during a Minnesota fall, rivers are rather low and waterfalls can be pretty dried up. Our first stop at Hidden Falls itself was just perfect. The waterfall was bubbling and rushing and gorgeous! Karen + Harrison were happy to climb around anywhere I asked. They are so cute together! We also spent time on the amazing stone staircase before heading out to the next leg of our session.

Mississippi River Engagement Photography

After the waterfall, we headed closer to the river. We spent some time photographing them hiking through the woods and around the creek, as well as pausing on the quaint bridge. Then we headed down to the riverside to photograph them with the beach and some of the gorgeous trees. Again, we were lucky the water was high. The trees looked amazing surrounded by the river! And the sun was setting just as we were finishing up with our session. Spectacular!

Thank You!

Karen + Harrison, thank you so much for choosing to work with me for your engagement and wedding photography. I adored your prewedding photography and spending time together. Your engagement album will be so amazing. I am so excited for your wedding next year!

Update: Take a look at the photography from Karen + Harrison’s beautiful Van Dusen Mansion wedding too!
