Fowler Park in Terre Haute, Indiana has always been that place for me. A favorite probably because it reminds me so much of my childhood. Memories of getting my picture taken there with my sister. Memories of a dear family friend taking those pictures. Memories of playing in the lake and walking the trails. Memories of pancake breakfasts and pioneer days.

When I got my first DSLR camera in 2009 I knew exactly where I wanted to take pictures of my two little girls at…my favorite place. I guess it’s a sense of comfort you have with a place you’ve known for so long that seems to make it easier. And those doors are a-maz-ing, right? It’s so fun to go back and look at old pictures I took in the beginning to see how far I’ve come.

This fall I decided to go back to Fowler Park to offer photography family sessions. I loved being in my hometown and seeing old friends. I loved seeing childhood friends who now have children of their own. In the next couple posts I’ll share some of my favorite photos I took there.
