Having worked with Ainsleigh before, I knew exactly which location would match her energy for her homecoming portraits. We headed to Laumeier Sculpture Park, a favorite hometown spot filled with quirky, larger-than-life sculptures that perfectly fit Ainsleigh’s fun and vibrant personality.

The session was full of laughter and high-energy moments between Ainsleigh, her friend, and her boyfriend. Laumeier is the perfect place to let your imagination soar, at one point, they even got creative pretending to run away from the park's giant deer sculpture. It was such a blast to step away from traditional poses and capture the genuine, "crazy" fun of their homecoming celebration. Scroll down to see just how creative we got among the sculptures!
