We were blessed with a beautiful evening when the Carlson Family joined me for their Mini-Session.
I spent time with each of the children (who aren’t children anymore!), getting to know them a bit and trying to capture glimpses of who they are in their images. I love this part of my job – though it’s difficult to form any deep connections with people in the 25 minutes I have for Mini-Sessions, I just love taking a sneak peek at the beauty God has poured into each and every soul.


I think this frame grouping looks really nice with their skin tones; it would make a great set of portraits for the wall or a table/desk.
Adorable, three week-old baby Aurora was along for the shoot, and I could tell she’ll be doted on and very well-loved by the family around her. What a precious gift!

What an incredible treasure God has given you in the lives of your family, Carlsons! I look forward to showing you the rest of your images – thank you for entrusting the portrait memories of this special time to me!
