This
was an extra-special session because this particular family won their
session during the live auction at the benefit we had for my cousin
Courtney last year. Thanks so much for supporting Courtney!
We met for their session at the beautiful Forestville State Park. We had tried to get these photos in last fall, but the weather and our schedules didn’t sync. However, we ended up with a perfect day… the breeze was blowing just slightly, the sun was out but we also had a few clouds… what more can you ask for?! But we did because we got to photograph this fun family with a Mom who always organizes the best outfits for her family to wear together at their shoots.
I love creating custom photography sessions for my clients that match their creative vision and this superhero session was SUCH A BLAST! Mr. B was excited about photos and had an amazing superhero narrative in his head fighting off the bad guys during the session. I met him and his family downtown Rochester, MN which served as a perfect backdrop for this session. After Mr. B was done eliminating any bad guys we encountered, we were able to fit in some family portraits as well.
