Fall Family Session in North Oaks, MN

Fall in Minnesota is pure magic especially when you’re capturing real family joy right in the heart of North Oaks, Minnesota. This session with a beautiful North Oaks family was full of laughter, leaf piles, and even a new puppy!

I’ve had the joy of photographing this family over the years, and this front-yard session was one of my favorites. With sprawling fall foliage as their backdrop, the kids ran, played, and jumped in leaf piles creating candid moments that turned into vibrant, heartfelt portraits.

Their new puppy even made a cameo! At first he was just having fun running around, but with a little encouragement, he sat perfectly for a few memorable family portraits too.
