DOWNTOWN NORTHFIELD, MN
Seniors Shine in Northfield’s Downtown Charm
Downtown Northfield has this effortlessly cool vibe—think vintage brick buildings, ivy-covered walls, industrial textures, and pops of color around every corner. It’s walkable, full of personality, and lets seniors bring their own style to the spotlight. Whether we're going bold and editorial or soft and classic, there’s a backdrop here to match every vibe. Plus, with everything close together, we can capture tons of variety without the hassle of hopping in and out of the car between locations.
Great for Families Wanting an Urban Feel
It’s not just for seniors! If you're dreaming of family photos that feel a little less “meadowy” and a little more modern, downtown Northfield is perfect. The alleyways, riverside paths, and charming storefronts add character and interest without feeling too busy or distracting. It’s ideal for families who want something fun, fresh, and totally different from the usual field or forest backdrop.
Nature Lovers? Carleton College is Right Down the Road
Want the best of both worlds? Just a short drive from downtown is the stunning Carleton College campus, full of open green spaces, tree-lined paths, gardens, and a peaceful river. It’s the perfect add-on if you want some classic, nature-inspired shots to go along with your downtown session. A quick outfit change and a five-minute drive can give your gallery a whole new look—hello, variety!
Whether it’s for your high school senior, a stylish family session, or just an excuse to stroll around a beautiful small town, Northfield truly has it all. Want that city-meets-nature feel without driving to Minneapolis? This is it.
What clients are saying
We had the absolute best experience with East Oaks Photography for my daughter’s senior photo session! From start to finish, everything was seamless, professional, and honestly—just plain fun.
They instantly made my daughter feel comfortable and confident, capturing not only beautiful images but also her true personality.
