It is always so fun to have a new client contact you with a great idea for a family session! I met this momma when our first borns were itty-bitties. We were both in a new momma group at the hospital we delivered our babies. The group was a wonderful place to connect and learn. I’m glad we have kept in touch over the last five and a half years.

When she told me she wanted to visit an ice cream shop that was special to their family, I was very excited! (And not just because I enjoy dairy products.) Selma’s Ice Cream Parlour is the oldest ice cream shop in Minnesota, as it opened in 1913. Ice cream has been served up there for over 100 years! If you ever get to the Afton area, I highly recommend it! It served as the perfect back drop for this fun lifestyle shoot. Thanks R family so very much for inviting me to be part of this sweet session. 😉

They took me to a nice park in Prior Lake for this shoot, and the grass was just gorgeously green, making their outfits pop. Love the colors they chose.

I have known Becky for quite awhile, pre-kiddos actually! We are both Corgi mommas and met at the dog park. Looking back it’s crazy that we each have 5 year olds now! After we got some more traditional shots, we headed down to the beach to end our session with some simple lifestyle images. It was fun capturing focused little M filling her bucket and daring S venturing further and further out into the lake. Thanks H family for another great shoot!
