Working with this family in their new home is just one of the many joys of being a Minnesota family photographer. During the colder months, or in times of experiencing a family milestone, I love working with families in their homes. This approach also gives us a chance to recreate those fun everyday moments that you will recall from your children’s adolescence for a lifetime.

Make Your Family Photoshoot Fun & Engaging

For the sweet family featured below, we knew the importance of keeping their two boys engaged and excited during the photoshoot. That meant making it fun for them and asking Mom and Dad to join in on the games! We ran races up the stairs and played with some of their favorite blocks. But my all-time favorite pastime during this in-home session brought out all the joy and giggles we could possibly hope for. Jumping on the bed! Of course, we enjoyed these activities in a way that ensured safety was our top priority. Above all, these fun engaging moments kept these two sweet brothers interested in everything that was happening around them. Which resulted in stunning photos of this beautiful family of four enjoying their new home and soaking up precious time together.

Minnesota Family Photographer

As a Minnesota family photographer (and a Mom!) I understand that littles ones need an outlet for their boundless energy. But also that they crave adventure and excitement. To them, the world is a great big place to be explored. Nurturing those outlets for them all starts right at home, with Mom and Dad by their side. The essence of these moments is so seldom captured as they unfold. If you think about it, how often do you capture photos in your home on any given day of the week? Now, how often does your family happen to line up to take photos in front of the Christmas tree? At birthday parties? Or, during family gatherings?

Undoubtedly, holidays and special events; when the entire extended family is gathered are important moments worthy of photos to recall the occasion. However, so is the seemingly mundane. Sitting down with your sweet babies to build a puzzle or a skyscraper out of building blocks, are equally beautiful moments worthy of cherished photos.

So while you might expect that working with a Minnesota family photographer means dressing your family in their best formal attire. Or, making sure everyone sits pretty and smiles for the camera. I can assure you that the beauty of your family lies in the ability to be your everyday selves, in your home, loving one another in the best way you know how.

Whether you’ve just moved into your forever home. Or, if you’d like to escape the cold, I’d love to work with you on an in-home photoshoot that captures the essence of your family’s love.
