Centennial Lakes:: Family Session

Centennial Lakes Park in Edina is one of my favorite photo locations. At all times of the year, it is filled with beauty, but fall is probably my favorite time to photograph there. The leaves are changing, the grasses are full and flowing and the flowers are in full bloom.

I loved doing this extended family session. We wandered the park and made sure to get all the different family combos. I loved how momma and daughter wore matching dresses and know that especially at this age, how fun it is to do that.

I look forward to many more sessions at Centennial Lakes this year!

    Maternity Session:: Luong Family

    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!

      Central Park:: Roseville Family Session

      There is never (ever) a dull moment when there are two little boys under the age of four being photographed. I met the Evens family at the beautiful Central Park in Roseville. Complete with fountains, gardens, and a field to run in, it was not only the perfect place for photos, but the perfect place for two little boys.

      We began our session on paths and grass where the boys could run off a little energy and then be excited for photos. We dodged a few rain clouds and ended up under trees while dad tickled the boys to keep them distracted and eventually the sun shown through to give us an incredible golden hour.

      The end of the session ended at the beautiful fountain, and of course, water was played in, laughs were had and family photos were checked off the list for another year! I can not wait to see this family again this fall for more running, games and of course, photos!

        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!!
