🌸 Celebrating Motherhood and Family This Spring
Spring Garden Mini Photo Sessions May 17-25
Minneapolis, Orono, and Edina $400
As the trees begin to bloom and the light turns softer, spring offers a beautiful reminder of how quickly time moves—especially when you're raising a family. This year, we’ll photograph families at the Lake Harriet Rose Gardens and Peace Gardens, Arneson Acres in Edina, and Noernberg Gardens in Orono. All are great parks for a photoshoot. offering varied backdrops and areas to photograph families.
Every year, Mother's Day arrives alongside the first bursts of color across Minnesota, making it the perfect season to pause, reflect, and document the love and connection that define your family.
Whether your children are still small enough to scoop into your arms or growing into their own unique personalities, spring family portraits create lasting memories that will only become more meaningful over time.
Why Spring Is the Perfect Time for Family Portraits
Spring brings a sense of renewal that's hard to replicate in any other season. The gardens are blooming around the cities, and we’re all ready to be outside after the cold winter.
The natural backdrops of blooming gardens and fresh greenery offer a timeless, organic setting for portraits that feel full of life and color—without ever feeling forced or overly styled.
It's also a wonderful way to celebrate motherhood in all its forms. Many families book spring sessions as a gift for mom, creating heirloom-quality portraits she will treasure long after the season has passed.
Whether it's a mother and her young children, three generations gathered together, or simply a quiet moment of laughter between siblings, these images become the artwork of your family’s story.
