Senior Pictures in Minneapolis

What are some of my favorite senior pictures in Minneapolis?!

Senior Pictures in Minneapolis

Longfellow Gardens

Longfellow Gardens is hands down my favorite outdoor spot in the summer and fall!! It has beautiful gardens, tall grasses, a vine covered pergola and a free parking lot!! I bring multiple seniors to this magical location each year because it never disappoints. Oh and it is just a quick walk from Minnehaha Falls and all the special spots around there.

NE Minneapolis

If you are wanting an urban spot with brick, metal and unique old stairs then NE Minneapolis is my go-to. Around every corner there is an interesting corner, graffitied wall, random flowers, and so much more.

North Loop

North loop is similar to NE Minneapolis, but it has a more city vibe. Funky courtyards, brick walls, interesting doors, sleek lines and random parking lots. North Loop delivers surprises every-time I am there.

oh hey!

I’m Megan, and I believe
real magic’s in the mess.

As a busy Minneapolis mom, I know how hard it is to make time for family photos. It can feel as impossible as finishing that book your best friend gave you months ago. But when I do get in front of the camera, I want those images to truly matter. I want to look back years from now and feel like I’m right there again, hearing the laughter, seeing that familiar look, and remembering the love.

That’s why I’m so passionate about Minneapolis Family Photography that captures real connection. No stiff poses or matching outfits, just the beauty of your everyday life. Whether it’s a lifestyle newborn session, in-home family portraits, or a Fresh 48 session, I focus on authentic moments that reflect who you really are. These are the photos that tell your story.
