The location

A park for the city girl at heart

Loring Park is a 34-acre park in downtown Minneapolis, right across from the Walker Art Center. It has Loring Lake, walking paths, the Garden of the Seasons and the Loring Greenway leading toward Nicollet Mall. If you want your maternity photos to feel like you, and you’re a city girl at heart, this is the spot.

On camera

What Loring Park looks like on camera

The best part about Loring Park is that you can get both the urban feel in between the buildings, leading lines from the long bridge crossing over 94, and a park setting either in the garden or by the pond. There’s so much variety here that an hour just flies by.
