I don’t often use the studio space in NE Minneapolis, and when I do it’s usually in the cold months of our Minnesota winters, but when a lovely momma asks you for a studio session in the middle of the summer? You oblige!
This mom and dad and their two lovely daughters came in a few weeks for some updated family photos and, in addition to the traditional, posed shots, we had lots of giggles, tickling, dancing and fun mixed in.

This family was visiting the great state of Minnesota all the way from Australia, and they needed a photographer to capture their extended family session on Lake Mille Lacs over the 4th of July holiday. And guess who just-s0-happens to have a lake place on Lake Mille Lacs who is also always in the area for the 4th of July? Yup – THIS GIRL!
We met up at Appeldorn’s Sunset Bay Resort on Lake Mille Lacs and had one of the silliest, giggliest, most joy filled sessions you could possibly imagine. I don’t photograph extended families as much as I used, to but I sure do love them when I do. Grandma and grandpa getting in on the action means double the joy and, usually, double the final gallery size!

I love photographing other photographer’s families. It’s always so special to see how other mommas interact with their little ones when they are in front of the camera, instead of behind it.
This adorable family of five and I found an amazing new location in the NW Metro area of Minneapolis that I plan to make good use of in the coming summer months. They hadn’t had their pictures taken since Mr. Stud Muffin in the suspenders was still in his momma’s tummy; so clearly it was time to fix that.
Big field for running? Check. Lovely sky for either hazy clouds or stunning sunsets? Creek to splash around in? Check. Free parking?? CHECK!

I don’t normally blog mini sessions. I get so wrapped up with editing when I do my once a year minis that by the time I’m done and have delivered the galleries to all my clients, I’m burnt out and just pass on blogging. But this! This mini session right here? I’m going to have to toot my own horn. This was a fall mini session from last year that needed to be scheduled and I was able to get a gallery of almost forty images in twenty minutes with a family of seven! I repeat: a FAMILY OF SEVEN! Mom, dad, two big sisters, and 3 little boys all within 2 1/2 years of each other. On top of that, the weather ended up being a solid 25 degrees cooler than when outfit planned.
Both mom and I were realistic about what we might be able to capture in our time together but these little love bugs were total rockstars. Smiles, giggles, looking at the camera when asked – I thought I’d die and gone to photographer heaven!
Truth be told, it was a combination of great kids and years of experience photographing families. I’ve grown pretty wise in my 7 years in business at poses, cues, and other tricks to get kids to cooperate. So bring on the big families! Don’t be shy that I won’t be able to handle your bunch and don’t trust your families precious images to a rookie who will be overwhelmed.
I love working with families of all sizes and it would be my pleasure to add another party of seven family to my “nailed it” list; contact me today for current offerings and availability.
I’m starting to feel like a broken record these days but I swear I’ve had so many amazing clients come back year after year as they grow their families and it just fills my heart with so much joy.
As you’ll see in the collage below, from this South Minneapolis newborn photography session, the family’s resident toddler was pretty in love with her new baby brother. There’s even the arms out “give me that baby brother this instant” image towards the middle right <3
Whatever your family’s size – bringing home your first baby or your fifth – I’d love to capture these precious days in the comfort of your home so that when you look back in 10, 30, 50 years, the details of your life will come rushing back.
Family photography is my passion; email me today to inquire about current availability and move one step closer to capture your treasures.
