Family and motherhood photographer located in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. I focus on capturing you and your loved ones in the here and now, as you are.
I photographed this extended family session last summer for Warner and Margaret’s 50th wedding anniversary. They were soon moving homes, so we did the photos outside of the house to document not only the two of them and their family that has grown over the years, but also to document the home in which it all took place. This session was a complete sweetness overload.
So many people think that extended family sessions have to be stiff and ultra-posed, kind of like the photos we used to take at the photo studios in JCPenney or Sears back in the day (talk about a throwback Thursday). I’m here to tell you that that is fake news! What I love about extended family sessions is that there are so many different family dynamics to capture. So many different + beautiful relationships that can be documented. When you and your family show up to your session ready to just have fun + embrace whatever happens + enjoy each other’s company, the sky is the limit with the photos we can create!
Everyone at this session did exactly that. They had so much fun together and I had an absolute blast getting to photograph their beautiful family!
