Sweet Family Session Downtown | {Child and Family Photography | Minneapolis, MN}

What a special evening this was!  I was a Mother's Day gift for this beautiful mom.  They drove a long way to get here and so they wanted to have their session at one of their favorite spots downtown.  We had a wonderful, relaxed time and I just loved getting to know them all.

Classically Beautiful. {Headshot Photography | Twin Cities, Minneapolis St. Paul, MN}

What an honor to have the opportunity to photograph the amazing classical pianist, Rebecca Davis. I have such a special place in my heart for classical musicians.  Even with her busy concert schedule we were able to find the time for some updated headshots for her.

This session was such a special joy.  She is elegant, luminous, warm and lovely - inside and out.  It's no wonder that her piano playing sounds much the same.

Here is a quick preview of my favorite series from the session:

Beautiful Mother and Daughter Downtown {Family and Headshot Photography | Twin Cities, Minneapolis St. Paul, MN}

Such a gorgeous night this was, in every way.

This beautiful mother contacted me wanting to schedule a session on her birthday.  I love when I get to be a special gift for someone.  She wanted pictures of herself with her youngest daughter, mostly, plus she needed some new headshots.  This was a rare warm, sunny spring day, and we headed downtown and strolled, talking, making friends and taking pictures.  As it seems to happen with every session I'm lucky enough to do, we discovered we have many, many things and people in common and there was SO much to chat about all night.

Some special things about this beautiful duo:

Mom is a generous volunteer, yoga enthusiast (see the last set of pictures!) and seems to have a boatload of friends - not only do we have several people in common, TWICE she ran into someone she knew during our session!  And Daughter is a lovely, sweet, kind presence with an elegance that you don't usually see in someone her age.

And as I put together this blog post and look through these pictures one more time, I can't help but hear Petula Clark in my head: "Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city, linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty, how can you lose? The lights are much brighter there, you can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares, so go DOWNTOWN, things will be great when you're DOWNTOWN, no finer place for sure, DOWNTOWN, everything's waiting for you...."  Now you're hearing it too, aren't you?  (That is, if you are old enough to remember that song!)  Good.  It's a perfect soundtrack for this sweet session.
