Pajama Party | Minneapolis Family Photographer

What grandparent doesn't want all their grandchildren photographed together? It can definitely be a challenge to organize getting everyone in the same place, at the same time, and all in good moods, but when it happens it's magic! I was so proud of all our little munchkins. They were all extremely cooperative and it makes me so happy that we were able to provide these images for my parents, who are really some of the most involved, supportive grandparents I could imagine. Love you all!

Boeselager Family

Every year I look forward to the small chunk of time I get to spend with my sisters, and of course, their families, their beautiful, vibrant families.  

We all traveled north to spend the holidays with my grandparents in their 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1 level home.  We crammed ourselves and all of our stuff into every nook, cranny and floor space in that house.  It wasn’t comfortable, but somehow, because it’s home and there is a fire in the fireplace, it is.  

The noise can be unbearable when all seven of the grandchildren (great-grandchildren in my grandparent’s case) are talking, crying, running, yelling, playing… well, when they are doing anything other than sleeping.  But, through the noise comes the joyful sounds, Hailey’s giggle, Shyanne’s babbling, Grace’s sweet requests, Nicholas’ superhero sound effects….

These kids steal my heart each and every time I see them.   And that time always seems to go by so quickly.  I am thankful and blessed that we are able to freeze them in time, at this age, this silly, playful age, forever.  

Thank you Gretchen for your beautiful work!

Scarlet

We were fortunate to have a beautiful day for the first of our mini-sessions on Saturday.  Although it was cold, we had some really beautiful light.  Ashley, Luke, their darling daughter, Scarlet, and even Grandma and Grandpa braved the chilly wind to walk around Silverwood Park in St. Anthony Village.  We had a great time chasing Scarlet, laughing with Ashley and Luke and watching Grandma and Grandpa at work spoiling their only grandchild!  We are excited to watch this little girl grow up.  She's got an amazing family that surrounds her.
