Minnesota Family Photos { Family of Five }

You never know what Minnesota will serve up for weather in September.

The weekend before we were sweating it out in 80 degrees, but this morning we bundled up against the chill of 50 degrees and a lot of wind.
It might have felt chilly to us but I don’t think these boys noticed it at all…plus when you’re running everywhere you tend to warm up fast. 🙂

This session was a HOOT! Derrick and Hannah, you two are amazing parents! We loved how relaxed you were as your little whirlwinds took off in every direction! You stayed calm throughout and never got frustrated with them.

They did exactly what kids do and you just laughed at their antics,
enjoying them for just who they are.

This is how we hope all parents will be during their sessions.

The wind was definitely whipping and the boys were far more interested in all the fantastic places to run and the playground they could see off in the distance so we knew we had to work FAST!

The boys took a liking to Brandon, especially when he pulled out some balloons! They scrambled to get one of their own and we laughed and laughed as they attempted to blow them up.

We know how kids are and we know that it can be stressful trying to get your kids to just sit for 5 seconds. We like giving kids a break and letting them explore. This can really help them calm down…or at least gives you a chance to calm down. 🙂

Brandon and Derrick chased the boys and blew up balloons while Abby got to grab a few images of Hannah and Elliot.

Moments like these are so precious.

With each additional child you realize you don’t have the same kind of time to spend snuggling and holding them. And you definitely don’t get a lot of “alone time” with them. A few extra cuddles are always a good thing!

Thank you Derrick and Hannah for asking us to capture these sweet moments. We loved getting to spend a little bit of time with you two and your boys!!
