Sweet Family Fun {White Bear Lake MN Family Photographer}

This weekend I met up with a super sweet and beautiful family after rescheduling several times. It was great to finally connect and a joy to meet this lovely family. 

So Happy Together {White Bear Lake MN Family Photographer}

This past weekend I met up with my lovely cousin and her beautiful family for a fantastic session on a beautiful and sunny morning.  What a great day it was for a session and what fun it was to see some of my family I haven't seen in a while.  

Sara and her beautiful family.

I just LOVE this next photo.  The light, the family, perfect.

 

Beautiful little Sophia.  I haven't seen her since she was just a teensy baby!

 

So much fun playing in the leaves!

 

I love it, pure joy!

 

Archer {White Bear Lake MN Baby Photographer}

The weather couldn't have been the complete opposite today from yesterday.  No sun, lots of wind and cool temps.  But, that didn't stop adorable little Archer from being irresistibly cute!  Archer belongs to an old high school friend who I haven't seen in many years, it was great catching up for a bit and meeting her sweet little guy.  Isn't he just adorable?

Ahhh, just look at those eyes!

So sweet!

I love baby feet.

I never could understand why boys are blessed with awesome eyelashes, no fair, that's for sure!

And we had to snap some last minute pics of beautiful mom with her baby boy!  I love this shot.

It was so great to see you both today!

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!

My own {White Bear Lake MN Child Photographer}

I've been meaning to get out this fall and get some shots of my own kids. I've been out so many times with all the other lovely families I photograph, but haven't made it a point to snap some of my own kiddos in this beautiful fall weather. I've also been meaning to get the girls dresses made and I literally finished them about 1 hour before we went out. It was spur of the moment and I couldn't be happier with the results!

My sweet and goofy 1st grader.

My spunky little 4 1/2 year old.

And the nut of the house, my funny little 3 year old man!

My girls, I love them.

Freckles and missing teeth!

Love it!

My faves of the night!
