Can you believe it’s almost AUGUST? I can’t believe how quickly summer is going by. Aaron and I are making a point to do all the fun summer activities with our family while the temperatures are still nice! Last week we explored Indian Creek Nature Center, went to the Marion pool, visited a nearby splash pad here in Marion, did a little gardening, and rode our bikes to the park. What should we do this week?!
Spring Mini Sessions
Even though we’re in the middle of summer, I’m just now getting around to posting about the spring mini sessions I did back in early May! This was the first time I’ve offered mini sessions and I loved it! I was a little worried about not having enough time with each family (your girl likes to chat), but it all worked out great and we all had so much fun!
One of my favorite sessions (if I had to pick one…they were all amazing!) was with Divashree and Phillip! This family showed up in the best outfits and the best attitudes…at 8 am even! Their session was SO windy, but they were such troopers! Smiling through hair blowing in the wind, dresses flapping around, and trying to dodge goose poop by the pond at Noelridge Park – they totally rocked it!
These ladies were so easy to get beautiful photos of and Philip was along for the ride and knew how to work the camera too 😉
Noelridge Park
I didn’t grow up here in Cedar Rapids, so I wasn’t sure how shooting at Noelridge Park would go – but I thought it was great! You would never know the aquatic center and parking lot are just steps away from these photos. There is so much open green space!
There’s also several pavilions, restrooms, horseshoe pits, grills, a splash pad, walking trails, tennis courts, and a greenhouse!
I highly recommend giving this park a visit if you’re in the area because there’s so much to do and the playground is really nice too!
Anyway, if you’re looking for me the rest of the summer I’ll be scouting out new places to take photos this fall and can’t wait to see YOU behind my camera soon!
