I’d like to share some photos from a location I don’t get to all that frequently, but I think it’s lovely in the summer time! Greenfield Park includes lots of beautiful mature willow trees by the water and it was the perfect location for this summer family photo session.
The first time I photographed this family was when they were expecting their little boy. Their maternity photo session was one of my all time favorites and the first time I ever photographed at The Pinnacle Point Overlook (you can view it here!). This one year session with their son Maverick with the willow trees and wildflowers is also one of my favorites that I must share!
I will admit that Greenfield Business Park does pose a few challenges when it comes to photography and I probably wouldn’t recommend it for a group of more than four people. It is surrounded by roads and buildings and parking lots on many sides which you don’t want showing up in the background of your photos. It also tends to be more populated with people walking on the paths throughout the evening. However, it can be picturesque if you can work the angles and it is one of the few public parks in Lancaster that I know of where there are willow trees along the water. It is also very accessible for strollers with lots of paved walking paths weaving throughout.
When I was scouting locations for this family photo session, I got quite lucky when I came upon a wildflower field just up the road. The field was planted by a local church and part of a walking loop that serves the residents in the neighboring apartments. This photo session took place in June when the wildflowers were looking lovely and I was so glad we could end the session in the field.
