Everything about this session SCREAMS Minnesota! From the banks of the Mississippi to the Vikings jersey, there's enough to show how great this state truly is! Johnathon was such a trooper. We met on a very cloudy and cold day - which was one of the first for the season. I am not sure any of us had prepared for it! Not to mention, Johnathon traveled all the way from Atwater to meet me and he was also going off of only three hours of sleep! (Oh to be able to do that and still function again!) Thanks to Johnathon, his grandma and his aunt for allowing me the honor shooting this session and the wonderful suggestion on location!!

Hanging with this family is truly like hanging with family. We've been getting together to snap a few pictures since their youngest was an infant. Crazy how quickly time flies! It's the best feeling to meet up with a family each year to see their kids happy and growing like weeds! I would say that is one of the best gifts I've received from this whole photography gig! Here's to another great year with family!

This is one of the most memorable extended family sessions I've done. Why? Because this family was awesome to work with AND because it was a gift. Shane gifted Melissa with an extended family session for her birthday. The entire session had been booked and scheduled before he even told her about it! His gesture was so thoughtful. And then to get to know them as a couple... You can just see how much he adores her.  Happy Belated Birthday Melissa! And thanks Shane for contacting me! It was an honor to work with such a great family!
