Maple Lake Lodge

Our kids think “family photos” = outdoor playtime and being silly with a camera following you around. Which I suppose it is. Honestly, their natural energy is our favorite part.

We looped around the property at golden hour, found the great light, and chased the kids. The variety of backdrops gave us new ideas and moments that just happened on their own.

It’s relaxed, it’s private, and it’s all yours when you book.

Thank you Alyssa Lyn Photos for capturing the chaos and the sweet moments in between. 💗

Big shout out to Burman Photography LLC 👏 Amanda nailed the mix of classic + artsy shots, kept the session fun, and was amazing with the kids. Highly recommend checking her out 👀

Pro-tip: we found promising cookies post-shoot kept the smiles coming 😉🍪

It is family session season. I enjoyed running around with the Kyte Family at Maple Lake Lodge - if you would like to have a full family session with me, explore my portraits page!

The process: Ryan doing what he does best—hands-on hard work 🙌

Then Brad Zimmer with Pure Flow stepping in for the finishing touch⛲️

We love how it turned out! ✨

Your next photo session could feature this fountain as the backdrop 📸

Big news from Maple Lake Lodge!

Life happens… long story short, we’ve shifted from weddings and events and opened it up as a private outdoor photography venue.

With 14 acres of lakeside views, open fields, wooded trails, and rustic lodge charm, the whole property is one big backdrop.

Follow along as we share the behind-the-scenes of life here — or book a session and experience it for yourself.

When the corn is high and the moon is full… you know it’s peak photo season 🌽🌕

Late summer is magic for photos — here’s why:

🌾 Cornfields are tall, green, and full of texture.

🌕 Full moons add instant drama to evening shots.

🌅 Golden hour light hits warmer and softer this time of year.

Whether you’re behind the camera or in front of it, this season gives you a mix of color, mood, and depth you can’t fake.

(And yes… we have all three here at Maple Lake Lodge. 😉)
