Spring Family Photos

Mother’s Day and Spring Family Specials

Each year is a wonderful tour of the Twin Cities and suburbs' parks and gardens. This spring, we've chosen Longfellow Gardens, Lake Harriet Lyndale Gardens, and Arneson Acres.

Are you an early bird like me? Let's do a sunrise session. Just reach out!

With decades of photography experience, I am very patient with children! The locations are chosen for beautiful photography and to let kids explore and play, making the session fun and memorable for them. Let’s create a gallery of images you’ll cherish! 💖 My #1 piece of advice for parents is not to ask children to smile. It causes kids to look away from the camera, and we miss those genuine giggles and smiles.

After the session, you'll receive a private online gallery featuring 20-30 images. Select your favorites and choose to purchase additional photos, prints, and gifts.

Whether you're a returning client or new to my seasonal minis/specials, I look forward to making this a cherished annual tradition!

Locations:

• Arneson Acres - greenery, tall formal trees, low colorful gardens, and a fountain

• Lyndale Gardens at Lake Harriet - more natural on one side, fromal and colorful on the rose garden side. Lots of variety. Large cherry blossom tree.

• Longfellow Gardens - lush gardens (early season), stone paths, fountain.

FAQ

• Can grandparents join the session? Yes! The session includes immediate family & grandparents (or an aunt/uncle). For more extended family, please book back-to-back time slots. Contact the studio if none are available.

• What should I wear? After booking, you will receive a session prep guide including tips on what to wear. Check out my Pinterest page for inspiration. Feel free to send me photos of clothing you're considering.

• Can we bring our dog(s)? Yes! 🐶 I love having dog(s) join in family photos! Please check with us to make sure dogs are allowed at the location. We recommend arriving early so they (and the kids!) can burn off some energy before the session.

• What happens if there is bad weather? ☔ Sessions will take place unless weather conditions prevent photography. If rescheduling is necessary, multiple options will be provided to ensure optimal conditions. If you choose not to do an alternate date, the full session credit remains for you to use another time.

• When will I get my images? Your private online gallery will be available within two weeks, featuring retouched images ready for selection and download.

• How much are additional images? Additional images are $30-50 each, depending on the quantity (more is less per image). 🎉 Take advantage of the early bird offer for additional photos and products within the first two days of gallery delivery.

• Do you sell cards, prints, and artwork? Yes. Explore our range of prints, wall art, gifts, and custom press-printed cards—all available through your online gallery. We also have a high-end lab online card designer with envelope addressing, just like Minted and others.

Thank you! I'm so looking forward to spring and the joy of photographing families outdoors again. 🌸
