Mini Session - Dorianna's 9 month portraits (Minneapolis Family Photography)

Dorianna was woken up from a short nap right before this session. She was so tender. It was my pleasure to capture her quiet moments and...not so quiet moments.

Mini Sessions - The Nielsen Family Portraits (Minneapolis Family Photography)

I got this family...their kids are the same ages as mine! They are smart for two reasons: they chose Mini Sessions instead of the normal portrait package AND they hired someone else to do capture their family! This is how you need to do it when you have 3 under 6 yrs old! Kids are fast and they like to run in different directions.

Mini Sessions are going fast...get your photography session today!

I'm so pleased the Mini Sessions are selling like hotcakes! The Family Photography Sessions are a great way to capture your loved ones...painless! Here's an update for the sessions still available. Remember, when you email me, please give me your top 2 time-slots and your choice of package! thanks.

Mini Sessions - Larson Family Portraits - Minneapolis, MN

This was my first time capturing this family and it was hilarious! Their two year was on the move and had no interest in getting her picture taken. We had to pull out all the stops and just follow where ever she went. It made for creative shots...in the bathroom...gotta love kids! Ohh yah and thank you to the lovely Monkey would made these sitting shots possible! :)

Mini Sessions - Lindsay Family Portraits - Minneapolis, MN

I've been taking pictures of this precious family for years and I LOVE THEM DEARLY! I love that the dad is even coming around on the importance of pictures...I think it's cause I make the photo session so fun! :) Sweet Harper. I don't know what to say about you. You are a doll. Your sweet in every way. I love listening to you talk...waiting to hear the next cute thing you're going to say. I'm so glad you know who I am.

Enjoy!

Mini Sessions - Saathoff Family Portraits - Minneapolis, MN

I first met Amanda and her family at her sister's wedding last year, then she came to my Mom FOCUSED Photography Workshop and our latest venture together was Mini Sessions! I have loved getting to know her and her family...into the future. Family Portrait

Mini Sessions - Stroemer Family Portraits - Minneapolis, MN

I love working with people over and over...building a photography based relationship is actually a lot of fun! I get to capture you and your family as they grow. I hope this will be one of those families. She's already thinking about signing up for the next Mini Sessions on June 4th! HOW FUN!

Mini Sessions - The Poppler Family Portraits - Minneapolis, MN

We had so much fun last weekend! Mini Sessions are the way to go with young kids with short attention spans...anything can happen but, our first shoot proved your kids can also have the perfect day! These girls were so amazingly easy to capture. Beautiful family makes beautiful pictures.

It's not fair!

Bormann Family Portraits - Minneapolis, MN

This was my last shoot of the fall Mini Sessions...and it was hilarious. Boys will be Boys - even during a photoshoot! AND the best part is I got it all on camera! My favorite thing to capture is something for everyone...portraits for Mom, Goofy or posed for the oldest, wrestling for the youngest and candids of everything for Dad! AND THIS WAS THE SHOOT where I got a little bit for everyone. You are in for a treat!

Moger Family Portraits - Minneapolis, MN

Cool Story...i met Cris (the mom in these pictures) at one of my FOCUSED Photography Workshops she heard me talk so much about family photoshoots she decided she should get some of her own! Love that! It was a perfect day to run, slide, dance, have piggy back rides and smile for the camera. Precious moments captured/frozen forever. I love that part.

This first shot I had the parents spin and freeze, spin and freeze...it was a big hit with the kids!

Allen Family Portraits - Sculpture Gardens, Minneapolis MN

These are my new neighbors...who I love! We are outside almost every day during the summer and it's been amazing to my kids to play with their new friends not to mention their sandbox and play-structure! I practically had to convince/beg them to let me take their pictures. I REALLY want them to have pictures with their kids at these ages! I'm so glad they did it!

And I hope we get to do them again next year...fingers crossed.

Welmers Family Portraits - Sculpture Gardens, Minneapolis MN

I love documenting families at every stage of life. I first captured this couple of their wedding and now we've moved into family portraits...it's amazing to follow their journey. Photo sessions should be fun...Johan had a blast with his Mom and Dad during the shoot and afterward they sat on the grass to have their picnic lunch together. So CUTE!

Ogando Family Portraits, Walker Art Museum/Sculpture Gardens, Minneapolis, MN

This next family is absolutely gorgeous - she's from Spain and he's from England...and they are raising bilingual girls! It was my first time capturing them and something I try to all the parents before the shoot is kids are kids...some days they are up for anything and other days they aren't. The day of your family portrait shoot you don't get to pick it. (Just like we didn't get to pick to not having swarming mosquitoes at our family photoshoot!) My job as the photographer is to take the time I'm given and capture them on that day. Sometimes it's all smiles and other times it's mixed with tears. Both are a part of our lives as parents and both are memories we want to capture for the years to come.

I love the emotion that was captured in this shoot.

Kimball Family Portraits - Sculpture Gardens, Minneapolis, MN

The Kimball's were my first family of the fall Mini Sessions! I had never captured their family before and it was such a pleasure. Their girls came with plenty of smiles...in fact, before the end of the shoot one of the girls said, " My face hurts from smiling so much!"
