Lot of cute cousins {Family photography | Twin Cities, Minneapolis St. Paul, MN}

I'm getting a little behind with my blog, so I thought I would post three sessions that had a common theme: cousins!  I have had so much fun, lately, photographing families that are visiting one another from far apart.  For some reason that kind of session has been really popular this year, and I love it.  In fact, I've not been able to take on all the requests I've gotten for sessions of this kind this season, simply due to being so booked up.

Anyway, here are three sessions featuring some ADORABLE cousins who were so excited to be together.  I did get to photograph some of the parents and grandparents, too, but as I said, I am sticking with a cousins theme here, soooooooo... darling youngsters it is.

This first session featured 7 girls, all in matching dresses!  Three of the girls stuck around a little longer and I photographed them in the studio, too.

Next, we have some beautiful cousins who's grandparents happen to live across the street from me.  We decided to do the shoot right in Grandma and Grandpa's backyard.  Easiest commute to work, ever!  They were all going to be together for a rare weekend, so the family booked my services for a photo shoot.

And finally, these two 4-year-old cousins were together for a family visit in St. Paul, and they were so much fun!  I got hugs, I got tickled, I got TACKLED, and I got home-grown tomatoes!  You can't beat that.  They were so funny together.

You may be surprised to hear that after this session I learned that the little boy's mom and I both sang opera at the University of Minnesota back in the 90s and we have lots of friends/colleagues in common.  I KNOW!! AGAIN!!  I am no longer baffled or shocked when this happens.  Because it does.  Regularly.

A Senior/Family Session {Family and Senior Photography | Twin Cities, Minneapolis St. Paul, MN}

This session was for a senior guy and his family.  Now, I know it's hard to believe, but some teenage boys don't really want or (need) a full photography session with lots of personal attention and outfit changes.  (I know!  It was a shock to me, too!)  I think it's such a great idea to split the session time between the senior boy's shots and the full family.  That's what we did with this session, right at my studio, and it worked out perfectly.

I really enjoyed meeting this beautiful family.  We found out we have a lot in common, in particular the town where I grew up about 350 miles away - what are the odds? I love when that happens (and it seems to happen a lot to me for some reason.  The world works in wonderful ways.).  They all were so great to work with, and so relaxed and fun.

Meet this super athlete-engineer and his wonderful family.

Fun Studio Family {Child and Family Photography | Twin Cities, Minneapolis St. Paul, MN}

This family was as fun as it gets.  We discovered a mutual love for show tunes and they threw out requests for me to sing.  (I'm proud to say that there were only two or three that I didn't know!)  During my little recital I took a few pictures, too.

They wanted a simple studio session to showcase their relationship as a family and their children's expressions and personalities.  I love doing that.  And now you can see why!
