    Gorgeous new field location + gorgeous family of five = stunning summer session!

    I can’t believe that the Minnesota State Fair is here which means school is almost here which means summer is over!!! Nooooo!!! Alas, all good Minnesota summers must come to an end but, oh what a wait to go, right? This family was up for an adventure and hike into the park reserve we went. The weather was perfect and the sun cooperated brilliantly to create the perfect family photography session.

    Email me today to inquire about current locations and openings for 2019 and 2020.

  • Champlin Family Photographer – Summer Session

    You guys. I get it. Fall slash winter slash Christmas tree farms are all the rage for holiday cards here in Minnesota. I even do them sometimes myself! But, there is sooooo much to be said about stunning summer photos to share with family and friends in the dead of the cold, cold winter.

    So be like this family. Have your photos taken during the long, warm, lovely, sunny days of summer and have beautiful greenery for those 2019 holiday cards.

    This field location is a perfect spot to capture the Twin Cities feel during June, July and August. Email me today to inquire about my remaining summer openings!

    This family is rounding out their Grow With Me one year package just in time to welcome baby #2 and I can’t wait to meet the next baby! I don’t list specific info for multi-session packages on my pricing page but I do offer discounts for clients who want to capture their children multiple times throughout the year. Maternity, newborn, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, and one year sessions are all available – simply pick and choose what you want to include and I’ll do the rest.

    This weekend was my first client session back after my December to March hiatus and it was so nice to get back in the swing of things with a family that I’ve had the pleasure of seeing so much these past 12 months. We met at the studio in NE Minneapolis and the rain and gloom of the day couldn’t put a damper on little man’s smile, or fascination with his #1 balloon! Lots of giggles and tickles were had. Some snack and milk breaks were also had (him, not me – although it’s not crazy to think it could have been me, I love milk) and overall we had a blast capturing the joy of being a whole year old. Here’s to big brotherhood, it’ll be here before he knows it!

    Email me to inquire about a family or child photography session at this great NE Minneapolis location or any spot around the Twin Cities metro area.Minneapolis family photographer

    I’ve been horrible about blogging since the end of last year! For those of you who may not follow me on social media, I took a much needed sabbatical from client work from December through March of this year. In addition to not capturing new client work, I also didn’t blog or keep up my online presence. Fingers crossed it doesn’t kill my Google search engine results – eek! But, if you’re reading this now, chances are you searched for “Minneapolis family photographer” or “Minneapolis photography families” or something along those lines and that, eventually, you made your way to my little corner of the world wide web. So welcome. I’m Rebeccah and, in addition to a ton of outdoor client work, I also have studio sessions from time to time. Here is a session from last November with the sweetest family. Their daughter had the stone-cold face of a trained poker player at the start of our session but, by the end, she shared her perfect little smile and it made my day!

    In need of indoor, in-home, or studio family photography? Email me today to find about about current openings. The studio is located in NE Minneapolis, right in between Minneapolis and St Paul, but I have clients all over the Twin Cities and would love to meet your little ones, even if they are as serious as this little miss!

    This gorgeous family had outdoor photos taken at the Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis in 2017 but opted for studio photos at the end of 2018. I think it was so they could wear their stunning, fancy outfits but, the Minnesota winter might have played a role too – ha! Whether inside or out, the smiles on their faces are priceless and the giggles you get from a toddler after a hard-earned game of peek-a-boo from behind your camera is the sweetest joy in the world. Okay, maybe in the photographer world but, you catch my drift.

    Looking for fancy studio photos of your family? Want more candid, outdoor photos at your lake place? Or perhaps stunning sunset photos in a golden field? Any of them can be done! My family photography sessions are as varied as my clients and I’m always up for something new. Email today to inquire about current session availability for Minneapolis and the surrounding suburbs.

    It’s November in Minnesota so that can only mean one thing… urban family sessions in downtown Minneapolis because all of the pretty fall colors are gone so we turn to pretty buildings as backdrops! This family is always such a trooper about braving the chilly fall weather to get great shots around the North Loop area of Minneapolis. Brick, metal, sheet rock – you name it – this family loves it, and I love it too! Plus, who doesn’t love an adorable sister to sister smooch?

    Love the look of this location? Waited too long and forgot to book family photos in October? Email me today for last minute family photography session availability before Thanksgiving!

    In case you were starting to worry that it’s all golden field sessions over here at Rebeccah Parks Photography, never fear! Sunset city sessions are here to keep things lively. This family had their maternity session at a gorgeous tree farm location in Anoka last year, but this year we opted for something more metropolitan so we headed to the North Loop area of Downtown Minneapolis and had a blast exploring. And I’m starting to think this family has some magic voodoo up their sleeve though because we always get the most stunning Minnesota sunsets on their session dates. I wish I could bottle it up and sell it!

    If fields, forests, parks, beaches, and studios aren’t your thing, not to worry, I have city locations galore to choose from. One of the perks of selecting a professional photographer who has been in business for almost a decade is not only the expertise I bring to posing and editing, but the vast array of locations I offer to clients.

    Email me today to inquire about current availability, no matter what kind of backdrop you’d like for your next family photos.

    Petite Family Photography Session

    I used to work with this lovely momma and getting to see her, and her adorable little girl, every fall is something I always look forward to. We’ve done the super urban locations in Uptown Minneapolis, the gorgeous towering pines location in St. Paul, and now we’ve added the stunning field location on the Maple Grove border to the list.

    The Minnesota sunset was 100% perfect and the wind helped us capture some truly stunning candid images. My shorter Petite Sessions are perfect for smaller families, couples, maternity sessions, and families who are just needing a few dozen updated images of their family. Email me today to grab a spot at this great location just outside Minneapolis with free parking and lots of room for little ones to run!
