These fun little monkeys get excited each Fall to climb our apple trees, and since no one who lives is here is into climbing trees (yet) i highly encourage them! Here are a few silly brothers from New Ulm and their playtime at the studio

these Cuties braved the wind and actual COLD Fall day, the only one we’ve had so far to create images perfect for mommy. It is always a thrill for me to work with  a family of five, five different ages, five different personalities, five different agendas. While the youngest was making herself at home exploring and on the mission to catch a cat, the eldest was concerned about getting to his next engagement in time-checking and rechecking his phone for the current time. It was precious to see them all come together and snuggle for a few portraits!

These two little ladies brought in mommy and daddy for their first family portrait session at Inspired Portrait.  In the  world of connections I have quite a few with this family and it was great to create a few images for them to remember during this exciting time.  I recommend wearing solid colors to many of my sessions and show them images like this when everyone is wearing black. So this mom took my advice and worked hard to find black dresses for the little ladies, I had to chuckle when mom told me “due to the lack of black dresses for little ladies she had to work really hard to shrink one of them. That’s dedication!

These two cuties came to celebrate their most recent milestone photos with me in the studio.  They came on such a beautiful day that we were able to play both inside and outside. At the end of the session this little man even took the time to try out our riding lawn mower, I was hoping he’d mow a few sections of the lot, but he was content pretending to race it! Thanks cuties!

Somehow I missed Blogging this session back in May when it was photographed. This Family has become near and dear to me and I am glad to say I have found a real friend in Annie. Annie, the mom lives with MS and she was the focus of our Spring Fundraiser this past April & May. Together with the help of a few loyal clients we put together $500  for the MS walk held on May 1st. Since I met this family I have learned more about MS and how is affects your life. I have also learned how much every little bit you can give can change a life. Thanks to Annie I know its not about raising just the money to help the research, but about raising hope and building lifetime friendships. Taking the struggles and building life bridges. Bless you Annie and your beautiful family always!
