As a Minneapolis family photographer, I've explored endless urban locations for photo sessions and met countless incredible families! Sometimes the locations are the standout of a session, and sometimes families swiftly steal the spotlight. But every now and then, a location and a family fit together so seamlessly that it feels meant to be! And after just a quick glance at the Johnson family's photos, you'll certainly agree that their St. Anthony Main photography session was one of those magical treats!

I first discovered how flawless an urban location could be when I moved to Minneapolis 10 years ago!  This city is fantastic for exploring with families and using it's backdrop at family photo sessions.  I knew right away that I had to bring a lovely family and my camera here ASAP! Enter the Johnson family! Who live not far from their location choice!  

Their easy going personalities were perfectly complemented by the hustle and bustle of St. Anthony Main.  It was complete perfection from beginning to end!

It rained the day of their originally planned session but we rescheduled for just a few days later and the sun came out and drenched us in light.  It might have actually been a bit bright but it actually still worked out beautifully.  

The urban vibe gave the whole session a modern twist, and the sunshine added a sprinkle of warmth because it was actually starting to cool down. 

But let's be honest: how could the images from our St. Anthony Main family photography session be anything less than incredible with a family like this one in front of the lens! Finding the perfect spot to take family photos isn't always easy, but you better believe I'll be returning here over and over again!

As a family photographer, I am uniquely blessed to work with a lot of the same clients repeatedly as their family grows and changes. I love to document the deepening love between parents, growing (and new!) littles, and even the arrival of new pets in the family! Our families transform so much from one year to the next, and I treasure every chance I get to bear witness to those changes. Thank you so much, Johnson family for inviting me along on this adventure with you! I hope to spend time with all of you again so soon!
