Outdoor Spring Family Mini Sessions

This year, Spring mini sessions will be held outdoors in May at the Noerenberg Memorial Gardens in Wayzata and the Lake Harriet Peace Gardens in Minneapolis. We’ll try to catch the gorgeous cherry blossom tree at the Lake Harriet Peace Gardens!

These mini spring family sessions are perfect for updating family portraits, especially as your children grow up! Each photo session includes family portraits and my signature children’s portraits. We’ll also photograph siblings together, at play, and in any other groupings. Grandparents or an aunt or uncle are welcome to join the session, but for additional families, please book a second time slot.

We love dogs, and they are always welcome at the photo sessions. Dogs are part of the family! I’ve been known to take photos while holding either a baby or a dog, so mom and dad can get a portrait!

Sessions are held late in the day for the best golden hour light.

Each session includes:

  • A private online gallery featuring up to 30 retouched images

  • Choose from three packages, each includes digital images with print and social media releases

  • Options to purchase additional images, wall art, press-printed cards, and custom gifts

  • A session prep guide with wardrobe tips and advice to ensure a smooth, stress-free experience

  • Special offers within your gallery are available only to mini session clients

“A family is a little world created by love.”

“Lisa really does a wonderful job capturing special family moments. I still can't believe how she captured my little one's silly, sweet personality in one photo! We have had her do family photos (outdoors), a maternity session, and a newborn session for us (both in the studio). She is easy to work with, really great with little ones, and very accommodating. Definitely recommend!”
