The Monson Family

Andria and I met in a mom’s group and I had the great privilege of getting to know her through her amazing life story and her very precious gift, Joshua.  We headed out to the warehouse district of Minneapolis on one of the most beautiful Saturday’s of October yet.  The Monson’s brought along their sweet doggie and Joshua brought along his ultra fast trike!  The October sun is beautiful this time of year, so even at 10 in the morning we had some amazing light.  Here is a small taste of the morning!monson 3monson 12monson 2monson 4monson 5monson 11monson 10monson 1monson 6monson 7monson 9monson 13

    The Smith extended family

    I almost thought of throwing up a photo from 1992 when my 2 BFF’s from 6th grade and I were doing what we called our “modeling shoots.”  This mainly consisted of throwing our most recently purchased clothes on and then photographing each other with our 110 mm camera’s!  (Maybe those days made me a photographer?!)  Whatever the case may be, I have spent many a day with this beautiful family.  They saw me through my grade school years as a Brownie in Girl Scouts, to my very ugly adolescent years ( remember those hideous red glasses? ) up until we  graduated high school together.  Cassie and I were able to stay in contact a bit through college, but life eventually got busy and we just recently reconnected this past summer to have our kids play together.  It was just one of those cool circle of life things.  Crazy that we were playing together in kindergarten and then to have OUR kiddos playing together at almost the same age we were when we met was almost surreal for me!

    Many years passed and I STILL laughed a lot with the Smith family.  smith 1My second set of parents while growing up.smith 9

    The Larsen Family

    Neighbors.  I love that word.  Makes me think of Mr. Rodgers, or the Cosby’s.  They are people that you know who know what is going on with the vicinity that you live in.  Paul and Noel are just that.  They are locals.  As in Robbinsdale locals.  Noel and I met through mutual friends and later found out that we live just blocks from each other.  Their little guy is also a friend of the girls and loves referring to my youngest as “baby Ben.”  The Larsens and I decided to head out to our neighboring community of, yes, Minneapolis.  We had a great time exploring the Warehouse district and got one of the most perfect afternoons for photoslarsen 11larsen 10larsen 6larsen 4larsen 5larsen 7larsen 9larsen 8larsen 3larsen 2larsen 12.

      The Jens Family

      Angela and I met back in high school ( I was a sophomore and she was a junior) through a group of mutual friends.  We worked at the infamous Old Navy that had just opened in Maple Grove and spent many a night after closing, folding clothes listening to that awful upbeat shopping music.  We had lost touch since facebook and then reconnected again.  She is still that wonderful girl that I laughed with singing Tainted Love to, but now has the most wonderful husband and two absolutely beautiful girls.  We had a wonderful crisp fall day shooting at Gale Woods.  Her oldest did a fabulous job, until the farm life got the best of her, and we had to wrap up the day.  Here is a small portion of the day!

        The Pratt Family

        My husband Kevin and I have been friends with Josh and Kirstjen since college.  Seven years later (add kids and knowledge of many German board games to the mix), we are still an ever present part of each others lives, to which I am so grateful.  The Pratts missed out on our 2 weeks of fall (all you Minnesotan’s can attest to that statement), leaving us with one blustery almost winter day.  We did our best to stay warm, jumping in and out of winter coats and hats.  Here are some of the results!pratt 2
