Maternity Session:: Luong Family

Tags: maternity session, minneapolis family session, rosevill family photographer, summer family, summer maternity session, summer session

Summer is full of family time and babies! I love when I get to see families over the years and the Luong family is no exception. When Rachel reached out last summer to ask if I would be willing to photograph her and her newest little one, I was flattered.

We chose park close to their home in Roseville where we did their first maternity session with their daughter. At that time we were dealing with the elements of winter, and this time around we had beautiful green grass and full trees. We wandered around the path for some shots of her and her husband, and then added her daughter to the mix. We played hide and seek with the blanket, ran in circles to kiss mommy and daddy and even sung to the baby.

Rachel and Tom, it was a joy to see you both again and congratulations!

Minneapolis Newborn Session:: Rowan

Oh the incredible joy of newborns! I just love them so much. I also LOVE seeing past clients. Years ago I met Steve and Laura. I photographed both their engagement session and then their James J Hill wedding. Over the years we have stayed in touch through Facebook. The couple had moved out of state for years, but returned to Minnesota this past summer to be closer to friends and family.

Little Rowan was born and Laura reached out to schedule a newborn session. I was so happy to do it and to see this couple become a family. Little Rowan slept his way through the session. We began in their beautifully decorated family room and then headed to the nursery which was decorated with various animals and prints. I loved the simplicity of the nursery and they way Rowan’s big brother took care of him.

We then headed to his big brother’s room for stories and bed jumping and then ended the session on their beautiful front stoop surrounded by beautiful ivy and greens. I love these in home sessions. They are so relaxed and sweet. I already can’t wait to see this family in the future!

Shoreview Newborn Session:: Parker

Fatima has been a long time viewer on the blog and such an encouragement as I post, so when they welcomed sweet Parker to their family, she reached out to see if I was available to do a session. I was thrilled to hear all these things and so happy to be able to work them into my schedule.

We began their session in Parker’s incredible nursery, filled with beautiful artwork and them most modern, clear crib I have ever seen. Fatima’s decorating style was so much fun filled with loads of color and textures. We utilized her incredible rugs and blankets and then ended the session in front of their beautiful fireplace with their pooch, a golden retriever, that was the friendliest, most protective pooches. I also loved the blankets and onesies that were covered in Parker’s name. So unique!

I look forward to seeing more of them in the future! Congratulations!!

Coon Rapids Newborn Session:: Arlo

Just about two years ago in the height of the pandemic after their beautiful spring maternity session, Marisa and Nate were welcoming sweet Emily

into their home, and what a joy she has been. Now just two years later, Arlo joined them and of course, fun ensued as we did his newborn session together.

Arlo was one incredibly, patient little guy. We were turning him and loving on him and chatting with him all morning. I am pretty sure by the time I left that day, he was out cold!

We started their session in the beautiful nursery that Nate and Marisa decorated so beautifully capturing the entire family, along with their pup, Wylie. We ended their session in trying to capture the kids together, and sweet Emily decided she needed a little snooze and so did Arlo who ended up right next to her. Probably one of the sweetest photos I have taken in a while. It was such a joy to see this family again!

Maple Grove Newborn:: Clara

She’s a lucky little lady! Walking into the home of the Asleson’s, I knew this session was going to be special. A few months back I photographed Emily’s maternity session and in the past both of her boys maternity sessions and newbon photos, but this time around was even more special. These two little boys had been waiting for their little sister to arrive and she was welcomed by so much love.

We started in her nursery, which was painted a light pink and an accent of darker pink walls. Above her crib was a beautiful sign created by another client and one of Emily’s good friends who does incredible sign work (Please go check her out HERE). The nursery held decor that was new and old items (including one of Emily’s well loved Raggidy-Ann dolls).

We also took some time to photograph in the boys rooms and lastly in Emily and Neil’s master suite where we spent some time cuddling on the bed, laughing, tickling and reveling in sweet Clara.

I am so thankful to have captured this family through the years, and feel so honored to be able to watch them grow. Congratulations!
