I cannot tell you how excited I was to finally get a time slot at Rustic Wild Arrow in Brooklyn, Michigan for late summer 2023. It is the most amazing and best kept secret for photographers (though it’s not that much of a secret anymore) and it is a perfect spot for family photos any time of year. Holly who owns RWA with her husband has the sweetest vision and is able to execute some pretty incredible backdrops for photos. It’s like our own little secret garden nestled in a small wood where you get transplanted into a storybook. The best part? Holly is constantly changing things up and adding new features each season! We could come back every year for your family photos and it would be an upgrade every time!
Anyways, you can see for yourself how incredible of a location Rustic Wild Arrow is for family photos. (Can you tell I’m in love?)
I absolutely adore the greenhouse
Exploring the greenhouse is a must
Must stop to smell the flowers
Gotta play a little Ring Around the Rosie
Sweet little portrait among the Queen Anne’s Lace
Cheering for the most beautiful weather for family photos
Sweet portrait in the cutest rocking chair around
Playing in the best secret garden
Tickle fests are the best fests
Walking along the path in the secret garden
Such a picturesque spot to go for a little walk
Testing out the wicker couch in the greenhouse
Playing tag in the open air chapel
The she shed steps are a great option for those posed shots!
Red light green light is a fun game to play with young kids
I love the happiness that laughter brings to photos
Cuddle breaks make for better photos with toddlers
Family tickles help make those posed shots feel more natural
I’d love for you to join me on my next adventure to Rustic Wild Arrow! I usually run minis there throughout the year, so make sure to follow along on my VIP list for updates and exclusive discounts!
