After booking a session and getting to know you a little bit, we will (together) choose a location that will best tell your story.
I do have some preferred places!
Nature session: Lake Ahquabi, Annette Nature Center, Dale Maffitt Reservoir, Water Works Park, Ewing Park, Pammel Park, Bridges of Madison County, Winterset City Park. Summerset/Banner Lakes.
Urban Session: Downtown Des Moines, Sculpture Garden, Cowles Commons, Court Avenue. Des Moines Art Center & Rose Garden, Greenwood Park, Gray's Lake, East Village, Iowa State Capitol grounds, Iowa State Fairgrounds, Robert D. Ray Asian Gardens, Murals downtown and city streets! Winterset town square!
Activity ideas: Get ice cream with your family! Visit a pumpkin patch, stomp through a creek or go U-Pick berries or apples! Play baseball in your backyard. A blog post is coming soon with more ideas- or contact me and we can discuss how best to capture your family!
**(Price of admission to any of these places is not included in the cost of the session, and will be the responsibility of the people being photographed!)
