Extended family sessions may be a lot of work, but they are also so much fun! I love having a combination of posed and candid shots of family images to show all of the generations. This spot in NE Minneapolis has the perfect combination of brick buildings, city skylines and greenery; it was such a pleasure to work with this family that were in town from all over the country!
Family is not an important thing. It’s everything.

We live close to a wonderful new splash pad that just opened up at Andrew’s Park in Champlin and I had the chance to take my daughter there this past week for two of my favorite things: photography and fun!
I’ve said it before, but it’s worth saying again, Minnesota is the greatest place in America to be and kid and raise a family. Fun, safe, and clean parks are everywhere you turn and this new splash pad just makes the north metro that much better.

Up next in the circle is Kelley- head on over and see what her town looks like by clicking HERE.
I played around with some underwater photography of my own daughter while we were up north this summer and not only was it so much fun, but it was inexpensive too.
No need to spend $1,500 on underwater housing; just grab a good ol’ fashioned waterproof film camera from your local convenience store or Amazon and get in the pool with your little ones!

So I know I don’t actually live in Wahkon, MN- but we spend so much of our summers there that I wanted to capture its small town charm for this blog circle.
Wahkon, originally inhabited by the Ojibwe, is roughly an hour and a half north of the Twin Cities, on the south end of Lake Mille Lacs and has an official population of 206. Its industry is geared mostly towards the summer folks- restaurants, bars, ice cream shops- and, of course, fisherman. One of the most Minnesotan things to do is buy off-sale. What’s off sale? The buying of alcohol from a bar, versus a liquor store. As in, you walk into a bar, buy a 12 pack or a bottle of whiskey and just walk out with it. We keep it classy in Minnesota!
