This family has been coming to me for years and we always think of something fun and memorable for their sessions. This year, we decided to capture their annual family tradition of cutting their own tree at Krueger’s Christmas Tree Farm in Lake Elmo, Minnesota. The weather was absolutely perfect, the sun was shining, the kids were happy, the cider was warm, and the trees were plentiful! Not much more you could ask for. We hunted around for the perfect tree and finally found one that everyone – myself included – thought was perfect. Dad cut it down and everyone helped haul it away. It was such a fun experience and something that this client will have to look back on for decades to come. I love my 90 minute sessions as they allow me to really tell a story with the images.

Remember to capture the traditions that make your family yours, because the years go by quicker than we know.
