My sessions are child-led and focused on candid connection rather than stiff posing.
I'll gently guide your family with natural prompts and movement so your gallery feels authentic, joyful, and full of real emotion.
And yes, we always get the "Christmas Card" shot of everyone smiling, too!
From playful outdoor sessions at golden hour to cozy in-home family photos, every session is designed to document your family exactly as you are in this season, creating images that will feel timeless and beautiful for years to come.
Family photos are about so much more than smiling at the camera. They're about preserving the way this season of life feels. The laughter, the movement, the tiny hands reaching for yours, and the beautifully imperfect moments in between.
As a Minneapolis family photographer, I create relaxed, connection-focused sessions designed to feel natural, joyful, and true to your family.
My client closet was created to simplify the planning process for busy mothers while ensuring your family photographs feel timeless, cohesive, and beautifully you.
Q. Are Digital Images Included?
A. Yes, digital files are included with every package, in addition to printing options!
Q. Where will our Photoshoot be?
A. Outdoors or In-Studio. I've scouted locations for your family photos throughout the Minnesota suburbs that guarantee the most beautiful light and scenery to achieve the MWP Style, always aiming to keep it close to your home.
Q. Why do you only do outdoor shoots in the early morning or later evening?
A. Good lighting is crucial for flattering photos and my MWP Style! I promise it is worth it to wake up a little early or keep the kids up a little later than usual! Studio sessions occur throughout the daytime hours.
Q. How does the Client Closet work?
A. Moms can choose dresses from my curated Client Closet, and I take care of everything else! I also offer complimentary styling assistance for the whole family.
Q. Communication
A. From booking through your photoshoot, I'm available to you for every detail via email. You'll receive a Welcome Guide upon booking, and then we will decide on a location together. A "Details" email will arrive in your inbox in the week of our session with address, meetup instructions, & reminders.
Q. When will we receive our photos?
A. Your edited online gallery arrives within 3 weeks via email with download & printing options so you can cherish these memories forever!
