I oftentimes have people ask, "What are your favorite locations for photos?" So today I'm sharing my 5 favorite spots for summer photos in and around Joplin, MO. When choosing your location, we'll narrow it down to one that best reflects your family. Additionally, in choosing your location (and even your outfits), I suggest you consider where you'll hang your final images in your home; you want your photos to complement your home's decor and colors.
Let's get to it. Here are 5 of my favorites.
Wildcat Glades | Joplin
I love the versatility that Wildcat Glades provides. From my favorite golden hour field to beautiful blooms, magnificent trees, and creeks, Wildcat Glades has a little of everything within short walking distance. It's perfect for active families that enjoy nature. You can be sure it's beautiful all year, but I especially love it in summer.
King Jack Park
If you want a beautiful park setting located in Webb City, King Jack park has perfect open lawns and huge oak trees. I've had some of my most fun sessions capturing kids running around the large oaks and collecting acorns. It's a wonderful location all year long.
Grand Falls
Grand Falls is just that, it's a beautiful location to take in. Even your most photo adverse family member will love an experience at Grand Falls. Why not have fun at your family photos? Grand Falls is your place. I love the backdrop the rocks and water provide as well as the abundance of trees and plants.
Carthage Public Library & Central Park
My next favorite spot gives you a two in one! Carthage Library has the beautiful architecture and light stone which makes for a perfect backdrop. Right across the street is Central Park with beautiful trees that are lovely in summer and so colorful in fall.
In Home Session
I'm not sure what could be better than a session at your own home. Some of my favorite images and of course my favorite memories are at home. The comfort and sentiment of having a session at home can't be matched.
Are you ready to plan your session? I hope my 5 favorite outdoor locations for photos in Joplin inspired you. I'd be honored to work together to create beautiful images and memories you will treasure for years to come. Head on over to the blog where you can see sessions at any of these locations. I can't wait to photograph you.
XO,
