Oh, the great Midwest. Adorned with wheat fields, and corn fields, and soybean fields, and…well, the list goes on. If you’re reading this, I’m sure I don’t need to tell you twice that Mother Nature’s creativity in Central Kansas was nothing if not lacking. But fear not: your session can and will be drop-dead gorgeous. We might just have to get a little creative when talking about photography in Ellsworth, Kansas.

Inside Ellsworth, Kansas

Now, Ellsworth isn’t the only town I shoot in. It just so happens to be where I reside. Local sessions are wonderful for endless reasons; no traveling, a homey feel, familiar settings. Being a small town has its perks for lifestyle photography sessions. We are lucky enough to have two gorgeous parks, Preisker and Krizek parks. We also have an adorable and quaint downtown that will give your session that “hometown Kansas” feel. But if you are looking for something a little different, don’t worry. We don’t have to travel far.

Lakes Galore

I am lucky enough to be located just a short jaunt away from two amazing lakes here in Kansas. Kanopolis Lake is fixed right in between Ellsworth and Salina, and makes for a great center-point for anyone wanting a beachy, nature-filled session. A 30-minute drive from Ellsworth to the waterline is a small price to pay for the amazing backdrop the lake provides.

Heading the other direction, you’ll find Wilson Lake. If you’ve never been, you’ll be pleased when you see how gorgeous this lake really is. Full of beautiful hiking trails, clear waters, and amazing rock formations, Wilson Lake really has it all. There are no shortage of stunning settings for a photography session if you are willing to make the trip. Plenty of easily accessible locations would be ideal for any style of session. I mean imagine: capturing candid moments with the people you love the most, at sunset, at this beautiful lake. What could be better? And when it’s all said and done, you can always stop in town at Grandma’s Soda Shop or Made From Scratch for some iconic small-town Kansas grub.

Your Own Backyard

All in all, the opportunity is endless. If you love the idea of keeping your session close to home, Ellsworth is a great place for a session. If you’re looking to step outside of the box, geographically we are lucky to have amazing settings nearby. I love living here. I really have come to absolutely adore this little town and all the lovely people in it. And, if you’ve never considered what photography in Ellsworth, Kansas might be like, I hope this has shed some light.

If you’re outside of the Ellsworth area, no worries! I am more than happy to travel to you. We can find the perfect location for you and your session, no matter where you’re located. Get ahold of me here and we can start planning your session. I am so excited to see what we come up with, and to create and document some awesome moments with you and yours.
