Hesitating about booking a photography session? I think I've heard every line out there so this is my top 5 list for why you don't want to book a photography session. 

1. You're hesitant to book a session because you think your kids won't cooperate.

2. Your husband not a fan of photo shoots.

3. You're worried that you need to lose weight. 

4. You don't want to shop for outfits. 

5. You don't have time. 

Guess what?! Don't worry about all of that! Life is what it is, right?! I have wrangled my fair share of energetic kids, unhappy husbands, worried mamas, and let's not forget about nervous animals... dogs, cats, cows, etc. I do my best not to rush your session, but rather stay on task. We get it done, all while having fun creating beautiful lasting memories. I love a challenge!

I totally get it with the husbands that are not fans of getting their photos taken. One thing that I hear a lot from husbands is that "it wasn't bad...I thought it would be longer" when having a family session. Even the family portion of a newborn session isn't very long as I try to make it as painless as possible, while capturing the emotion of the session.

Now, about losing weight. Love yourself the way you are. Not one person out there is perfect, and that's ok. This is your life and your family, be in the pictures. 

Don't want to shop? I have you covered, literally! My client closet has women's dresses, men's shirts, and kids clothing. 

Now, don't wait to book that session. Exist in photos, not just memories. 

All sessions pictured in this blog were in the following locations: Austin, Byron, Blooming Prairie, Owatonna, Rochester, Ramsey, and Lakeville Minnesota.

Hugs and love!

Chelsea and Mike had one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever been to! It was filled with gorgeous people, lovely attire, cowboy boots, and a stunning venue. Now they're spending their honeymoon in northern Minnesota as Mr. and Mrs. Anderson. There were some jokes at the reception from family about babies so I will look forward to capturing maternity, newborn, and more family photos of them. ;)
