Schmidt Family / Minneapolis Newborn Family Session

When previous wedding clients start having kids its THE BEST. I've been married for 10 years and have three little kiddos of my own, so its such a joy to come alongside new parents and observe how their relationship has grown and changed over the years. I never thought I'd enjoy documenting new families, but my own heart has changed so much since having kids myself. Congrats Jason and Katie, I loved seeing you guys and meeting little Martin.  

Lane Family

We explored a new place where the river carves its own path and long before paved trails or manicured lawns, the land was breathing and changing with its own rhythm. Ancient oak trees and dry flood plains set the stage. Youthful adventure. Finding insects and sticks while enjoying the warmth of the Fall sun on our faces. Just another casual family session, but so inspiring to me. I love this job for many reasons, but its such joy for me to observe and create using photography. For everyone who helps make this possible...THANK YOU. 

Bolduc Family / lego's, snakes, turtles, and nature walks

I got to spend a couple hours with the Bolduc family on their Grandparents property north of Minneapolis, recently. This session was a blast. The kids enjoyed hiking around and heard all about the outdoors from their great Grandpa, who happens to be a naturalist. Everyone just hung out and enjoyed a perfect Sunday afternoon together. We let the snakes out, fed the turtles, built stuff with Lego's and tended the garden. Nothing was off limits and candidness and just 'going with the flow' was the mood. Here's a glimpse of what our time together looked like. Thanks so much Bolduc family!
