Imagine having two handsome, smart, kind, accomplished sons – then imagine they graduate college and high school at the same time… two-for-one senior session! I have captured this lovely family of six before but this day was all about their oldest, who is graduating from college, and their second son, who is graduating high school and heading out to college himself. We headed to the Stone Arch Bridge area of downtown Minneapolis, the consummate location for senior, family, and maternity photos in my opinion, and while it was a little chilly, it was a perfect Minnesota spring evening.

Senior boy photography is always a mix of serious faces, and then doing goofy stuff in order to catch that genuine smile. Have a senior of your own in need of photos for this school year or next? Email me to grab your spot today!

 

We don’t always have 60 degree days in late November but when we do, boy are they wonderful! The park reserve this field is in has undergone some major changes recently but it still has so many amazing spots for family photography session; little pockets of light here and there really are the icing on the cake for portraits. Email today to get on the books!

 

I have been capturing this family’s photos since they were expecting their first baby boy – and just look at him now! Almost as tall as mom! We have gone all over the metro for sessions over the years, from Baker Park Reserve just west of Plymouth, to the Elm Creek Park Reserve in Champlin and everywhere in between. I can always count on these two to be so much fun. Not pictured here but definitely included in the gallery for mom: fart face photos 😉

I have the pleasure of capturing this family each year and each year the kids grow even sweeter and their images are even more precious. We have gone to the Stone Arch Bridge, St. Anthony Main, a Christmas tree farm in Anoka and everywhere in between. This year, we opted for something closer to home and did their family photos at the 50th & France area of Edina. It was a *perfect* Minnesota fall evening, with a light breeze and beautiful sunset. You don’t have to travel far to find great locations for fall family photos here in the Twin Cities, you just need a seasoned photographer to know all the good spots. Email me today to have your next family photos right in the heart of Edina!

As the mom of a high schooler, I can tell you that you blink, and your baby isn’t a baby anymore! I know that’s exactly how this mom felt as she took her daughter’s senior photos around the Stone Arch Bridge area of Minneapolis last month. From chubby cheeked toddler to stunning young woman, it feels like only days have passed since our first borns came into the world and now we have to prepare to send them out into that same world on their own. It is a bitter sweet feeling, but one I know mothers wouldn’t trade for anything.

Did you know that everyone’s favorite zoo and botanical garden is available for family, maternity, and graduation photos?! It’s truly one of the most stunning locations in the metro and perfect for a multigenerational session, just like this one. Looking to include Grandma and Grandpa in your next family session? Email me today to get on the calendar for these priceless family heirlooms.

It seems like this sweet family just had their maternity session this spring and we blinked and baby girl number two had arrived! I only ever had my one daughter but, if we would have had more, I would have loved for another girl so we could have sweet sisters like these two. Their in-home newborn photography session was a joy and their newest one was a perfect angel. Email me today to inquire about booking your own luxury newborn photography session.

Spring is in the air and the snow is maybe, finally, kinda, really, sorta gone. Yay! Here in the Twin Cities that means budding flowers and longer nights and a return of outdoor photography sessions. This adorable family opted for a custom Grow With Me Plan to capture baby girl number two joining them and we started with maternity photos at the Elm Creek Reserve in Champlin.

I’d be lying if I said the majority of my clients didn’t have children but, every so often, I get the pleasure to work with a couple and I just love love love it. Kids have a way of stealing the show at family sessions – as they should – but getting to focus on just two adults and, in the case of this fall session, an adorable dog? Sign me up!

This particular photography session took place in a park reserve in Champlin and while it wasn’t sunny for us, the love and joy of this couple shined bright all the same. Email me today to capture you and your loved ones, whether there are two or twenty-two of you!
