Local Love: Favorite Spots in Wayne County for Holiday Pictures

One of my favorite parts of being a photographer in Wayne County is discovering all the hidden gems and classic backdrops that make holiday photos extra special. Whether you’re looking for a cozy, small-town feel or a spot that sparkles with festive cheer, Wayne County has something for everyone. Here are some of my top picks for holiday photo sessions—plus a few personal stories from behind the lens!

Main Street, Cambridge City

There’s nothing like the charm of Main Street during December. The historic storefronts get decked out in twinkle lights and wreaths, and there’s always a warm, welcoming buzz in the air. I love capturing families under the holiday lights or couples strolling past the decorated windows. It’s perfect for those classic, timeless holiday shots.

Local Parks (Creitz Park, Maplewood Park, and More)

Snow-dusted trees, open fields, and peaceful walking trails make our local parks a dreamy backdrop for winter sessions. Creitz Park in Cambridge City and Maplewood Park in Centerville are two of my favorites. Bring a blanket, some hot cocoa, and let’s capture your family snuggled up together in the great outdoors!

Your Own Front Porch

Sometimes, the best holiday memories happen right at home. I love when families invite me to capture moments on their decorated front porch, surrounded by favorite wreaths, lights, and maybe even the family dog in a festive sweater. It’s personal, meaningful, and always unique to you.

Why Location Matters

The right spot sets the mood for your photos and helps tell your family’s story. Whether you want classic, cozy, or something totally you, Wayne County is full of options. If you have a favorite place not on this list, let me know! I’m always up for exploring new locations that matter to you.
