The Great Outdoors

My favorite family sessions are usually outdoors.  Everyone can interact a little more naturally and I am able to capture those candid shots I love so much.  Of course outdoor shoots can be a little more difficult to plan for in the winter.  Many families like to start their sessions with the kids in the studio, then move outside for the family shots.  That is exactly what these next two families chose to do... 

Lofquist Family
Ethan and his family visited my studio right before his first birthday.  After getting some photos indoors, we headed to the park with their dog, a nine-year-old lab mix, who is a very special part of the family.





Vandeputte Family
Julia was 18 months old when she and her parents made a special trip to Brainerd for some family photos.  We started off at my studio, then went to the old railroad yard where I was able to capture some great moments of the three of them together.
