Twin Cities Family Portrait Photography | The Husby’s Limited Edition Session

Kristina Lynn — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:00:31 +0000

The Husby family braved the cool, October weather and came out to Axdahl’s Garden Farm for a Limited Edition Session. As soon as the van pulled up into Axdahl’s drive way and all the kids piled out I knew it was going to be a great session. Everyone had a smile on and were polite as can be. I had a couple places scoped out ahead of time that would work with the large family and we got started right away. We did some of the whole family, some of each child, a pose with just the girls, and another with just the guys. Then at the very end of the session, I was able to sneak mom and dad away to do a couple by themselves while all the kids piled back in the van. Here are some of my favorite shots from the session.

Twin Cities Engagement Photography | Nicole and Doug’s Engagement Session

It was a cool, windy October day (much like all the days have been this month) and I was out at Axdahl’s Garden Farm scoping out locations for my Limited Edition engagement shoot with Nicole and Doug. I had just briefly met Nicole one day when her and her mom had come into the studio to pick up her sister, Danielle’s, senior portrait order. I knew from the short meeting that I wanted to do some fun, casual shots with the couple and Axdahl’s was the perfect place. Even though it was a little cold and windy, it was a great day for a shoot because the overcast skies allowed for me to use some great spots that would normally have been in direct sunlight (which is not the greatest lighting for photos!). We first started the photo session by taking photos by the bright orange Beetle that was parked in the front of the farm. Ever since my first visit to the farm I’ve been wanting to take photos there and this was the perfect day and the perfect subjects! After that, we wandered around the farm taking photos at various places chatting about the upcoming wedding. Towards the end of the session, Doug had an idea to have Nicole hold a giant pumpkin while he held a little one. I love it when people feel comfortable enough with me to do crazy things during their sessions! I had so much fun during this session and loved capturing the fun and sweet moments between Nicole and Doug! These are just a few of my favorites from the session, more will be posted on my website and Facebook page so make sure to check them out, too.

Twin Cities Family Portrait Photography | The Erickson’s Limited Edition Session

I met Danielle through the wonderful world of Facebook. She’s a flower designer here in Stillwater and we have chatted about the world of weddings and photography. So when she contacted me for a Limited Edition session I was so excited! Not only was I getting a chance to photograph her cute little family of three that I had seen on her Facebook page, but I was actually going to meet Danielle! As soon as I met them at Axdahl’s Garden Farm I knew it was going to be a fun session. We first started with capturing a couple images of the family before turning the little one loose and grabbing some action shots. The 18 month old kept me on my toes as he ran around the farm, inspecting all the pumpkins and exploring all the corners of the barn. Photographing children is always a challenge because you never know where they will go or how long they will be in a happy mood. But the challenge of capturing the different expressions and moments is a nice change from the world of seniors Here are just a few of my favorite images from this session, more can be found on my Facebook page.

I’ve done quite a bit of work with Amy, owner of Karma Clothing Co. in downtown Stillwater, and have loved every minute of it. So when I decided to do the Limited Edition Fall Portrait Sessions at Axdahl’s Garden Farm I knew her family would be perfect models! And sure enough they were. Their four daughters are the cutest things ever and they LOVE being photographed. I used some of their images on the promotional pieces but wanted to share some more with my loyal blog followers. These are just a few of the great images we captured during the session. You can find more on my website and my Facebook page. AND if you’re like me and in need of a new fall wardrobe, you definitely need to stop by Karma Clothing Co. to check out her inventory of comfortably broken-in name brand clothing.

Twin Cities Children Portrait Photography | Bailey’s Limited Edition Portrait Session

I had such a blast photographing Bailey for the Limited Edition fall portrait session ad pieces I had to share a couple more of my favorites! She’s such a cutie and pretty sure you couldn’t take a bad picture of her if you tried. Since her mom and grandmother both work at Axdahl’s Garden Farm, Bailey knows her way around the farm like the back of her hand. She definitely knows which are her favorite spots.
