Couple with dog {Rochester Minnesota dog family portrait photographer}

It’s no secret, pet portraits, especially dog portraits, have a special place in our hearts and we love capturing pets with their people. Dogs are truly a member of the family and as such, they should be photographed like one.

This is the second time we’ve taken photos of these three. The last time, about 3 years ago, Kevin was just a puppy and it was so, hot and humid that his “Mom” and “Dad” chose to not be in many photos as we were all sweating just standing there. But last fall we got a beautiful Minnesota November afternoon. For their session, they asked us to capture Kevin’s (the dog) personality as well as to take photos of them as a couple and as a family. They spend a lot of time in nature with Kevin, and one of their favorite places to hike with him is at Quarry Hill in Rochester, MN. Such a great spot for a photo session.

We have so much fun with these three. We left with sore cheeks as we were laughing and smiling the entire time we got to hang out with them. They make our job so easy and Kevin is full of personality but also was laid back, very sweet, and a natural for the camera.

Enjoy a few (or all) of my favorite portraits from their session below!

Family Maternity Portraits {Rochester MN Family Portrait Photographer}

This fall session was more about family photos but also about getting a photo for my friend to use for social media to announce they were expecting. We had such a beautiful fall day at Root River Park in Rochester, MN for their portrait session.

I have so many faves to share with you from their session! And the 24×36 collage we put together is an absolute favorite of mine, so I have to share a photo of her framed prints on the wall, too.

Courtney, you are beautiful! We loved our time with you, Nick, and all your cute kids! Can’t wait to find out who you’ll be adding to your crew next! It’ll be here before you know it.

Fall Family Photos {Spring Valley MN Family Portrait Photographer}

Good Earth Village, with its beautiful bluff views and sprawling grassy fields, has turned into one of my favorite locations after this family suggested we go there for their outdoor fall photos. It makes such a lovely backdrop for family portraits. We also went back to the studio for a few photos and were able to use a new backdrop.

I’m not even sure how I chose which photos to share as I love them all. They had many favorites as well that they decided to get a hard cover brag book with most of the photos from their session in it. You can see their book in our stories on Facebook and on Instagram.

P.S. If you’ve had a session with us this summer or recently you will recognize that this is the family of one of our assistants, Shelby.

Family of 4 {SE MN Family Portrait Photographer}

Tomorrow we get to meet and photograph the newest member of this wonderful family. Welcoming a new baby is a significant time and I am honored to capture newborn photos for all 3 of their children and also watch them grow with other sessions through the last 3 years.

We did this family session back at the end of September at their beautiful home. It was a gorgeous evening and was such a warm fall day, it felt like summer. Absolutely loved photographing in their element on their porch and barn.

Can’t wait to meet their newest baby tomorrow.

Santa’s Workshop {Spring Valley MN Christmas Family Portrait Photographer}

“Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.” – Clement Clark Moore

This year with the few Christmas sessions we did, we used old backdrops and had no real plan heading into the session like we usually do with our Christmas mini sessions, we usually have them planned to “T”. This was the first session we did, but absolutely love the fun we had in Santa’s workshop with this family. So, so many favorites to share….
