Family Photos in Edmonton Location Spotlight: Edmonton Corn Maze

The Edmonton Corn Maze is one of the most quintessential fall activities in our city. I have so many personal memories of taking my own kids there each year to run through the maze, play, and explore. But until last year, I had never actually photographed a family there, especially not among the glowing sunflower fields. After 16 years behind the camera, that feels almost impossible to believe!

That all changed last fall when I had the absolute joy of photographing not one, but two families at the Edmonton Corn Maze. And let me tell you, it was everything I hoped for. Hanging out with these teens was a blast (especially since I’ve been photographing them since the youngest was a newborn!). Moments like this remind me how fast the years go by, and as a photographer, I get nostalgic just looking back… I can only imagine how mom and dad feel watching their girls grow into such incredible young women.

Location Matters
One of the biggest questions I get when families book a session is: “Where should we go?”
Here’s the good news: you don’t have to figure that out on your own. I work with every client to choose a location that feels right for their family. Whether that’s a sunflower field at the Edmonton Corn Maze, a quiet riverside park, or your own backyard. The right setting makes such a difference. It’s not just about a pretty backdrop (though that’s a bonus!). It’s about finding a space where your family can relax, move, and be yourselves. That’s when the genuine connection shines through in your photos.
Taking the Stress Out of Planning
I know that for many families, choosing outfits and picking a location feels overwhelming. That’s why I take care of the details with you. After booking, I send out a prep guide and location suggestions tailored to your family’s vibe. Want something playful and vibrant? The Corn Maze might be perfect. Want cozy and intimate? Let’s head to your home or a quiet park.
These are just a few of my favourites from this session. Images that capture not just what this family looks like, but who they are right now. The last one is my absolute favourite, because it's a tradition for this girls ;)
If you’re dreaming of fall family photos in Edmonton, let’s find the perfect spot that feels like home for your family. Fall 2025 sessions are now open — and the golden light won’t last long!
