What a blast I had with this bunch, we chatted about breakfast, and played ring around the Rosy, and even danced with some daisies. After a rain out from the first session, we got another cloudy day and even a few rain drops during the outdoor session. The changing weather didn’t affect our ability to create something magical of these three angels.

I first met this family less then a year ago, when I met the younger brother as a baby. They have since become one of my favorite families to work with and have good conversations about life. During this session, we used both in studio and outside for some of the images, and the boys were troopers to have fun the entire time. Thanks guys!

Once in awhile, we plan sessions and the weather is perfect, here was one lucky case. On a simple Sunday afternoon in the Sibley park we were able to create a beautiful story of this family. The couple featured here in this session, I am honored to call friends. They are currently working in Seoul, South Korea, and are back to Minnesota on vacation. When I caught wind of their plans to return I started hounding them about creating this session for them. Once in awhile, I remind people the importance of family portraits, and once in awhile they agree. I’ve included the entire session slide show.

-My thanks to Lucas for his stellar second shooter skills, featured on the side shots in the slide show (and props to Olivia for sleeping during this so we were able to photograph with two cameras)

Family Session-In the Park

The last photo this family had taken together was….well a too long ago. After much encouragement on my part I was able to wrangle them into the studio last week. We had some great conversation. Mom has recently been to Haiti so we chatting some about that, and well as a family trip taking place this summer. You may recognize this family from Hosanna Lutheran church.

New to Inspired Portrait is the precious Duo. They discovered us while attending a benefit in Lake Crystal, MN. Mom bid on our silent auction item which included a session and a gift print.   Here’s a peak from the mommy and me session.
