Outdoor sessions offer more room to roam—more space for kids to run, explore, and just be themselves. With nature as your backdrop, each image feels grounded in the place and season you're in.
Because we live in Minnesota, these sessions are limited—our window for warm light and barefoot weather doesn’t last long. Choose the timing that works best for your family, and reserve your spot early to make the most of it.
Because they won’t always fit in your arms like this.
Summer is great for letting kids go barefoot, splash near the lake, or just run around without a plan.
If temps hit the 90s, we’ll reschedule. Nobody needs heatstroke in their photos.
Recommended Locations: Open fields, lakesides, and gardens with some shade.
Fall sessions are always in high demand—and for good reason. The colors are bold, the light is rich, and layering up just makes everyone look a little extra pulled together.
If you’ve got littles, earlier is better. By mid-October, temps can drop fast—and cold, cranky toddlers are not the vibe.
Recommended Locations: Tree-lined parks, rustic trails, and spots with plenty of color (without the crowds).
If your family’s up for bundling up, Minnesota winter can deliver something soft, serene, and striking.
Studio is always an option if you’d rather stay warm (no judgment—we get it).
Interested in a winter session? Reach out to chat through timing and weather backup plans.
Recommended Locations: Snow-covered fields, evergreens, red barns, city streets or even your own backyard.
(Usually peak blooms happen mid-may, this varies from year to year)
Spring is my personal favorite—but blink and you’ll miss it. Those blooming trees and soft greens? They stick around for maybe two weeks. But when they show up, the photos are magic.
It’s the perfect time for airy dresses, curious toddlers, and gentle light that flatters everyone.
Recommended Locations: Flowering fields, lakeside parks, or anywhere the trees are waking up.
Let’s talk it through. I’ll help you find the timing and setting that works best for your family, based on light, location, and what feels right for you.
