Lyndale Park Peace Garden I MN Family Photographer

Family Photo with kids and dog at Peace Garden

4 reasons the Peace Garden is the perfect place for photos

Let’s talk about the Lyndale Park Peace Garden in Minneapolis and why it’s one of my favorite places to meet clients!!

  1. Location, location, location!! It’s in close proximity to Lake Harriet, the Rose Garden and a bird sanctuary, so you have nature all around you.
  2. Evergreens!! In the spring and winter, when there isn’t much color outdoor, there are several evergreen varieties that you can incorporate into the backdrop of your family photos. That strong green with the texture of the trees can be simply stunning.
  3. The Peace Garden is wide open in the middle, which means we can always find space even if it’s crowded. Plus, the small rock clusters throughout the park make for some intimate and touching family moments.
  4. You can end your photo session with a short walk to get ice cream. (Not sure if that’s a reason but definitely a bonus!!)

Are you ready to start your family photography experience today to have your memories preserved forever? Say hello!

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.
