The Lake Harriet Rose Gardens in Minneapolis, is one of my favorite places to photographing during the morning hours. The grounds have just been maintained, it is easy to get to, and it is never too busy during in the morning. The morning sun that peaks through the gardens is so beautiful in the morning and you can never go wrong with a cloudy morning at this location.

Morning sessions are often not thought of for families but tend to be some of my favorite times to photograph with little ones. This is the time of day they tend to be the happiest as they hopefully had a really good night of sleep, a good breakfast and aren’t exhausted from a full day. Enjoy some favorites from this smily family of four from our south minneapolis family session.
