A Selection of Family Photo's from 2014

Here's one photo from each of the family sessions I had in 2014.  I don't tend to post many pictures as they happen since most people end up using their images for Christmas cards, birthday cards, etc and I don't want to spoil the surprise by making them instantly available online.

The S Family - Outdoor Fall Portraits

It's been an amazing fall season this year, so much lasting color!

The K Family Portraits - Minnetonka Family Photographer

I had a great time with this family again, this time with their latest addition. This is one of my favorite parks to photograph in (sorry, it's top secret).

Baby Olivia's 6 Month pictures - Prior Lake, MN

Here are baby Olivia's 6 month pictures. She was in a great mood that day, even after peeing all over my backdrop :) Such a photogenic little girl. Their dogs felt a little left out, they kept trying to sneak in front of the camera.

The C Family Portraits

I always enjoy taking shots of this group, who are also good friends of ours.... and lovers of N.D. Hockey!

The Johnson Family

Here is a quick preview of the lovely Johnson family. We took these portraits just down the street from their house in this beautiful park.

The A Family

This was my second time photographing this lovely fam, everyone is another year older now, and their girls are still as cute as ever. This year we made a departure from the classic fall color and headed downtown for some rustic brick.

Scroll down to see how the session ended.....





As I was talking with their mom and dad, the twins found some dirt....



then this happened.....



so I suggested, "wouldn't it be funny if everyone had dirt on their face?"....

which turned into this.....


which ended up as the best Christmas card shot I've ever seen...
