Vintage Woods Walk Session | Okoboji Parks Children Photography

Vintage Woods Walk seems a fitting title for these images~ I brought a variety of vintage props for this children's session. The Okoboji and Spirit Lake, Iowa - Great Lakes Area offer a variety of great background greenery for the session and Mady and Chase were the perfect models. Even Mady's American Girl doll got in on the shoot. (she proved to be a most cooperative subject as well). The vintage tone to the images add to the nostalgia of the days of childhood...when playing with dolls, tea parties and just having a relaxing day is all part of the summer experience. My own daughter's been complaining of her over-scheuled summer life. I remember my own childhood as being busy, but filled with intermittent days of nothing that allowed time to make mud pies and pick flowers from the garden and having time to just do... nothing. Maybe it's time to grab a doll and take a walk in the woods, or a picnic lunch at a park. I love these images because that is just what they speak to...the sweet nostalgic days of summer.
