There are shoots that stand out in my mind as the perfect shoot! This was one of them, and even though we didn't stop moving with little Avery keeping us on our toes, I wouldn't change a thing! Walk along the Mississippi River in Anoka, Minnesota on the most beautiful late Summer evening with this amazing family. |
Meet Avery... When we first met, there wasn't a worry in my mind that we wouldn't get along. She was ready to go in her cute floral sundress and tiny white sandles. As we waited for her baby brother to get dressed, we found some daisies to pick as she ran around the car and through the grass. Being two and a half can be hard for a little girl. So many things to explore, touch and smell. Avery was all of her two years old and put us all to work keeping her entertained and contained as we walked along the sun-soaked pathway on the island. |
Meet Callum... Only 6 months old and his sweet little personality was shining through the whole evening as we played in the grassy fields and ran among the wild flowers. His sister keeping a close eye on him and making sure he didn't miss smelling the flowers she picked along the way. I only had to talk to him and his adorable smile perked up immediately. He isn't quite mobile yet, but I can tell that Chris and Emily will have their hands full with him and his big Sister as he starts getting around more. Mom and Dad seem to take the active kiddos in stride though and make the most out of their joy! |
This was one of those shoots that makes me love my job even more! To be able to capture a family's love is such an honor. Joy filled photo shoots are just the best thing ever. Even if I sweat from running after the little ones and try to keep them entertained, it's so worth it. As the sun started to set along the Mississippi River, the golden hour crept into the fields of wild flowers and the warm glow lite the McCann Family. We started winding down. |
