“Be thankful for what you have. Your life is someone else’s fairy tale.” -Wale Ayeni

My neighbors and friends entrusted me with their family photos (first time they have had family photos taken in many MANY years!). Their littlest was not interested in cooperating for photos at ALL, but with some patience, distraction, silliness, and grandparents, we were able to get some photos that we really love.

Rain threatened to shut this session down, but we were lucky enough to dodge the weather and get lots of great images

Extended family photos are exhausting and chaotic (probably more for the families than for me!), but they are so much fun. Lots of giggles throughout this session. We were fortunate to have a perfect evening and such beautiful backgrounds at the Normandale Japanese Gardens.

Extended family sessions take time to coordinate, but you will never regret having these images. We had the most perfect summer night for this session.
