Minneapolis Family Photographer | Cousins

I really liked the colors they went with - bright but to each their own, I think it looks super great!

Not to mention they are all adorable...

LOVE this.

Thanks guys!

choreographer of the year

the award goes to.... the 10 year old girl in this session! you wouldn't believe the fun ideas she had for our session. we did pets, bubbles, fireworks (actually dad's idea), swings, slides, sunset and my very favorite... you'll have to scroll to the bottom to see.

her mom was spraying the hose at her so her umbrella would have a purpose.


so much fun, thanks guys!

a night on the farm

we decided that the only thing that could have made this session any better would have been a chocolate cake (duh) and some bug spray - like a gallon or 3. 

an extremely amazing family, super fun and so good to one-another... refreshing!  I rode out their family farm in WI with them, and it's fun to think of my boys getting to be these boys ages... super great kids. 

the buildings and fields in the images have emotional significance and memories for this family, so it was great to be able to use this location for their family photos.

but holy-moly, the mosquitoes were UNBELIEVABLE!  I have NEVER seen the likes of them... I am still itching just thinking about it!  I have millions of outtakes from the session of one of them swatting themselves, or a big blurred image from me swatting myself as I shot.   Made me laugh... and itch.

 thanks guys - next time I'll bring cake AND twizzlers!

before the dunk

here are some of the photos from this session, before they made their big splash.

so fun, like every year... you guys rock!  thanks for the orange crush :)

5 to get ready....

now go-go-go!!!
this was just the tail end of a SUPER fun session..

thanks for the AWESOME night you guys!!!!!

the boy with eyes made of gold

What a nice and very handsome young man I had the pleasure of meeting!   

We had some laughs because his eyes were shut in about 4 out of 5 shots.  They are this incredible golden color that changes to greens and browns, but I think the gold in them reflected the light (which was rather bright) and made it incredibly hard for him to keep his eyes open.  But he tried SO HARD... so hard they watered.  He was really a trooper!  I promised him I would title a blog post about his golden eyes... Here's to you buddy!

And it was so awesome to be outside!  I think we determined it was 34 or 35 degrees while we were out for our session, but it felt great!

Thanks so much for meeting me out guys!

early morning shoot - family of 5... chilly style!

OHHHH how I love shooting in the morning before the sun gets all high in the sky... but this time of year is tricky because it can be soooo chilly in the mornings. On my way to the shoot my car temp gauge was reading 31 or 32, and I think it was to 34 by the time I got to our location. That temp, coupled with the wind left this family a little teary eyed, goose bumpled and chittery toothed, but they were awesome - and I am still kinda shocked how many really great images we got from our 35 minutes together!



she had a hard time not smiling (gorgeous smile), but I think she looks SO pretty when she is serious like this also!




 

love this, even with hypothermia setting in, they still have fun!





I was a little nervous when shooting in the area this one was taken in,

it was after all deer opener and we were in a field..

not so smart, but SO beauteous!



Beautiful family, hope your toes and fingers didn't fall off regained feeling and you didn't catch a cold.  Thanks for the great morning!
