Serving Baxter and the surrounding greater Minnesota
Baxter sits about 2.3 hours from Minneapolis, out in greater Minnesota. I photograph weddings, portraits and families in Baxter and know the venues, the light, and the timing quirks that come with the greater Minnesota area.
Baxter weddings tend to lean on water and pine, from Whipple Lake's beach to the Mississippi overlooks and the Paul Bunyan Trail head, with late-afternoon light filtering low through red pines.
Clients choosing a Baxter photography photographer usually weigh up neighbouring towns too — Brainerd, East Gull Lake, Nisswa, Pillager, Fort Ripley, and I travel to all of them. Travel beyond the metro is quoted up front, so the number you see when you book is the number you pay.
Baxter landmarks I shoot around
Portraits in Baxter lean on Whipple Beach Recreational Area, Mississippi River Overlook Park, Riverview Park, Oscar Kristofferson Park. Whether you're after something classic or more editorial, I map the day's schedule around the light so you get the best fifteen minutes at each stop — and with the drive built into the timeline rather than bolted on.
