Minneapolis Rose Garden Extended Family Session:: Tygesson Family

Posted in Family, MinneapolisTags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Have you ever met a family where you just felt like you have know forever? It was the way they welcomed you, talked to you like you were old friends and gave you a giant hug when you left and said , see you so soon.  That is the Tygesson family to me.  In 2015 I shot Paul and Anna’s wedding and when Courtney asked if I was free to photograph their family this summer while they were in town, I of course, could not wait to see them.  For this session a sweet new toddler and a grown puppy were added to the family session.  I can’t wait to see what our next session will look like!

    Roseville Family Session:: Behnken Family

    Posted in Children, Family, Minneapolis, St. PaulTags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

    Twenty eight years. Yes that is how long Laura and I have been friends!  (Exactly my age….very year I continue to turn 28…. haha). But in all seriousness I met this sweet girl in my 5th grade class and we just clicked.  We spent countless hours on the phone, jamming out to 90’s pop music, getting high school diploma’s together, driving back and forth to visit each other in college, standing in each other’s weddings, watching babies enter the world, parenting, dealing with life’s struggles and all the while being blessed to be friends.  I feel extremly lucky to call Laura my friend and do life with her all these years.  I hope you are blessed with a “Laura” in your life.  Hold onto that dear friend because they are a complete and utter gift.

    Photographing her kids this year made me feel really old.  Her oldest enters high school, and I realized its not much longer that we will have these kids in our homes.  How fast time goes by, but what a blessing to get to walk through those life stages with the ones we love so dearly!

      Minneapolis Newborn Session:: Jaxon

      Posted in Baby, Family, Minneapolis, newbornTags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

      It has been a while since I have had a newborn that was absoutley perfect during the entire session.  Sweet Jaxon slept throughout his first photo shoot waking up to simply take one bottle and snuggle with his momma.  What a joy it was to meet this kind family and enter into this beautiful stage of life!

        St. Paul Family Session:: Broughton Family

        Posted in Family, St. PaulTags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

        Moving into a new home definately calls for a family session.  Sitting on the front porch of their new home, I celebrated with the Broughton family!  We even headed over to their favorite park in St. Paul for photos of her sweet boys playing and swinging.  If you are moving into your first home or a new home, might I suggest a family session to document this new transition?  Such a fun way to remember this sweet stage of life!

          What to wear for family sessions

          Posted in Baby, Children, Family, Minneapolis, St. Cloud, St. PaulTags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

          Happy fall to you, and with that, happy family photo time!  At this point in the year there are so many mommas asking me for clothing suggestions for family photos.  While I am no clothing expert, I have learned a few things along the way and want to share with you today four tips to choosing the type of clothing to wear for your family photos!

          1. This is the biggie and most important… As the momma, start with you.  Find the dress, jeans and jacket, t-shirt or style that YOU feel most comfortable in and feel confidant in and start there.  Often times we choose what our kids want to wear and work around them, but most of the time, kids are pretty flexible in what they want to wear, so choose that outfit you love the most and then work everyone around you.
          2. Bring in the accessories!  You can make any dark blue shirt better by adding a jean jacket, gold neckace or scarf to the mix.  Add in earrings, bangles and shoes to add your flair to the photos.  I will preface this with thinking about your kiddos too.  (In as much as we love dolling them up, be aware that if your toddler hates headbands, chances are she won’t keep it in for the photo, so it might be wise to forget it and elivate the stress!)
          3. Stay away from too much matching.  Gone are the days of denim shirts and kackki pants ( think 1999 and Gap ads!) Mixing and matching, adding plads and stripes , but not too many, and bringing in textures makes you pop in photos.
          4. Take tips from the clothing industry.  Step into any store these days and you will know the styles and colors that are on trend.  Jewel tones and neutrals photograph well against the green trees as well as the changing foliage that comes in October.
          5. If all else fails, Pinterest.

          Feel free to reach out as needed!  Again, I am no clothing expert, but I am happy to help and guide in any way I can as you prepare for your session.  I can’t wait to see so many of you this fall!
