Last week I blogged about a location I love here in town, Dow Gardens. This week I’m sharing another location with you that I absolutely adore: Chippewa Nature Center.

My family and I have lived here for over four years. We’ve been to Dow Gardens many, many times. But it wasn’t until a year or two ago that we discovered the beauty of Chippewa. We were shocked that we had never made it out there before, but we decided to make up for lost time by visiting often. When the weather is warmer, we go to the CNC weekly. We love walking the trails (even when we get lost). We love throwing rocks into the ponds. And my kids especially love seeing all the animals there.

Family memories aside, the Chippewa Nature Center is an amazing location for taking your senior photos. Why, you ask? Because of the variety! Like Dow Gardens, the CNC has SO much to offer for a different look for each picture. You want some rustic-looking barns? You’ve got ’em! You want trails, greenery, wildflowers, and dirt roads? You get those too. The possibilities are endless.

I also love the CNC for how much it changes with each season. Pictured below are sessions ranging from hot July to cool October, and they look like they were taken in a completely different location because of the season. Which look do you prefer? With the Chippewa Nature Center, you can have them all.
