closeKim totally blew my socks off. We had been trying to set up a session for about 3 months. When she called to try once more, she said; “We are moving to Arizona on Friday, can you do a session for us on Thursday morning? I’ll set up child care and everything for you and I found a site that is only 5 blocks from your house!” How could I pass it up? So Kim, here are a few for you. Thanks for your encouragement! Blessings to you as you travel to AZ!
Gen’s family is truly amazing, or should I say she and her husband are amazing! They not only have 2 beautiful doggies, but 2 children that are 10 months apart! (I thought I had it hard!) It was wonderful to watch them in action, the love for one another emanates through them. We had a wonderful time perusing through father Hennepin park in Minneapolis, and her children were awesome! They laughed at all my quirky 3 year old jokes. (Helps to have a 3 year old at home to test these jokes on!) It was a pleasure working with this family!
There is something particularly special in the relationship between a mother and her son. Growing up in a house full of sisters and then having 2 girls, I never knew what this relationship entailed…until I had a son! I only have 1 eighteen month old son, but he is SO EXTREMLY DIFFERENT than my girls. It is a love/ hate relationship. Love when he kisses me with and comes running for a hug; hate when he climbs on my table and BREAKS my coffee pot in the morning (and then cheers for himself!) Megan and her sons were a breath of fresh air to me in the world of sons. She has a 2 and 4 year old, and they are BUSY and so FUN! I loved getting in the middle of these mom tackles and watching Megan just love on them. She is an amazing mom (and first grade teacher!). I was so glad to be able photograph this busy season of her life.
Beauty and color! Just 2 words to describe this beautiful couple and their wedding! More photos to come next week! I am so excited to share!
Amanda is a good friend of mine. She has been such an encouragement to me as I have gotten to know her over the past two years. It was such a pleasure to photograph her beautiful family. Her little girl Addie, is a joy and delight, always keeping them on their toes. This first photo is one of my very favorites from the session.
Thanks McAlpines! It was a treat to work with you!
Including siblings in your newborn session… yes or no?
My answer is always yes.
It might feel a little chaotic in the moment, but those are often the images you end up treasuring the most—the real connection, the tiny interactions, the beginning of a new family story.
I’ve loved watching the Luong family grow through all three of their children’s newborn sessions, and those sibling moments are always some of my favorites.
If you’re wondering how it all works (and how we make it easy), I wrote a full blog post about it! Check it out in my stories
