Family {Lino Lakes MN Family Photographer}

I normally don't shoot full extended families, but when my neighbor April asked if I would do a session while her family was in town for Christmas, I could hardly turn it down, especially since they are such a loving family. It turned out to be an incredibly beautiful December day here in MN so we ventured outdoors. The sun was shining and it was the perfect morning for a session.

April and her sweet family.

Adorable Elliot.

The whole gang!  3 generations.

Grandma and Grandpa with the grandkiddos.

Uncle and cousins!  Such handsome men!

Sebastian, he's adorable.

Robbie, what a great kid.

Grandma and Grandpa, I just love this shot.  So loving and sweet.  

Cousins. They were getting a bit cold at this point.

And another of the whole clan!

Fields of Gold {White Bear Lake Family Photographer}

This morning I met up with friend and fellow photographer Laura for a family photoshoot swap!  It was a chilly morning, but the sun was stunning and created the most delicious light.  Everything seemed golden and it just goes to prove you don't need to shoot at dusk to get amazing colors. 

Meet the L family.  I've been shooting these guys for a long time and I so enjoy their beautifulness! 

Noah, what a handsome fella.  

I thought for sure this image screamed black and white but when I processed it, I was very torn.  Either way, it's a serene and timeless shot.

 

 Yeah, yeah, I went a little sunflare crazy here and while it's a bit overexposed, I just love the silliness of this shot.  It almost seems like nobody else is there to watch sweet Owen and he's just in his own little goofy world.

And sweet Avery.  She was not having it today, she wanted nothing to do with me, but that's ok, I snuck in a few shots of her!

I just love this perfectly imperfect shot.  You see, I get it!  I totally get it.  This is most likely what my family shots looked like.  Laura calls it organized chaos, not so sure about that but it's what a real family of 5 looks like, that's for sure!

Noah in the fields of gold.

Owen's turn!

Ahhh, so sweet!

Daddy and his boys!

Thanks so much for the fun morning Laura!  I definitely enjoyed shooting your family, I was much more comfortable behind the camera, that's for sure!

Last night was the most perfect night for a session, especially a beautiful session with a great family by the lake. I couldn't have asked for anything more! Enjoy!

Isn't she just a beautiful little doll?

Ahhh, I love the golden hour.

Tootsies!

The lovely family!

Mama is having another baby this winter, I just love this cute shot with the police car, dad is a police man so it was fitting.

Beautiful B Family {Roseville MN Family Photographer}

Last Friday I headed down to Roseville to the Como Park Lakeside Pavillion. It was the first time I have done a shoot there and I have to say, I totally loved it. What's even better? Having an incredibly beautiful family to photograph. Meet the B family.

Little Harrison is such a sweet boy at 6 months old. He gave me a big ole grin the second I looked at him!

And you know how I feel about baby feet!

Big brother Jackson wanted nothing to do with me for a bit, but once he warmed up to me it was smooth sailing!

This yummy muffin helped a bit too!

Beautiful mama and her little guy dancing!

Isn't he just handsome?  He'll be two in a few days. 

Family feet!

And the lovely family in front of the great architecture.  

Thanks B family, it was so great to meet all of you!
