Saint Paul Locations


For Elyza's senior session, we chose two different locations to give us a variety of looks. First, we went to the beautiful State Capitol building in Saint Paul, MN. The white and cream tones of the building worked perfectly with Elyza’s white dress, both inside and out. The building itself is so stunning that we wanted to capture it in the background, adding some extra depth and interest to the photos. This location gave us more options for creating different kinds of shots.

The second location was the Como Zoo Park Conservatory, near the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory. I love the look of the glass structure, and we also took advantage of the lush greenery around the area. The mix of nature and the conservatory’s unique design gave us a great variety of shots, showing off Elyza’s elegance and the beauty of both spaces.
