Loving the Little Years | Cass Lake Minnesota Lifestyle Photographer
Being a parent is such a delight. I am filled with countless blessings through out each day and I can not imagine another day without them in our life. Cherishing the little moments– and the big ones– is a joyful experience!
Loving the Little Years, let there be delight | Cass Lake Minnesota Lifestyle Photographer
When this little tot slumbered on the big bed in the late-afternoon sun that barely hung in our January north sky, I took out my camera and decided to capture it. Capture the memories as images I can look back on to remember.
Eternally Minded.
I focus a lot in my parenting on letting them be little. On cherishing their littleness before the big bad world comes to get them. There is a great book called “loving the little years” by Rachel Jankovic and it is a sweet and short little book to help shift your perspective. A positive outlook with eternity in the picture. I highly recommend it to any moms and dads of little ones. Give it a read!

Fall Family Photos | Rum River, Riverview Park, Milaca MN | Minnesota Fall Mini Session Photographer
I love having the privilege of meeting with families year after year, watching them grow. It is such a blessing to see a mom and dad love their sweet kiddos so much, and this family is an excellent example of Love!
They do a great job laughing together, naturally. They smile and giggle, and the kids, like ALL other kids, have their little fits too. Plus, they always do a fabulous job with great outfit coordination for their annual fall mini session of family portraits! You can spot denim, leggings, cute boots, the mustard yellow sweater, the nice green vest and floral tunic on sweet little… they’re just simply adorable!
Family Photos on the farm with a gorgeous red barn, water and fields | Park Rapids, MN Family and Children Photographer
Photographing this family for the fourth time! They are the sweetest! I am so blessed that they hired me a few years ago to do their family photos. It was mom, dad, and three kids. At the very end of that first session, they told me they were expecting baby # 4! WAHOO! How exciting! Well, Then I came back and did family portraits, newborn portraits, and was able to capture them in their lake home before they moved out of state, and we have spent time photographing them at Itasca State Park at the Mississippi River Headwaters. Now, they came all they way back to Minnesota this summer just to let me get their photos 🙂 Well, okay, they wanted to visit family, too… But, I’ll pretend it was just to see me and let me see how precious newborn Ember has grown into a full-blown, walking and prancing little toddler girl!
I love getting to know families and their stories through what the parents and the kids say during our session and this family is the rule! They’re a beautiful family, and I hope I get to keep capturing their growth and changes whenever they’re “back home!”
And then, the mother’s sister and her kids were there, so I snapped some cute ones of them, as well!
Family Fall Photography | Fabulous Finding Fun and Full Foliage For Fotos. (or something like that)
The colors of Autumn are in full swing here in Northern MN. So, we had this family over to Grace Lake, near Cass Lake, MN to take some family photos near the lake. We got some pops of red, orange, yellow, green, and brown. They meandered from the hill with pines down to the narrow sandy beach on Grace Lake. It was the perfect setting for an afternoon photo session.
Here’s one quick one from this good day!
