Life..Unscripted

One of my favorite things about being a lifestyle children’s photographer is that I get to capture children, unscripted. My favorite images are not the big perfect grins, but the ones that capture kids being themselves..in that perfect moment.

The way you remember them playing in their rain boots, the belly laughs and the way they hug each other so hard, it chokes the other. That is children’s photography. I had the complete honor of photographing these beautiful little girls at my Minneapolis Studio. What was so amazing - beyond the fact that they are well behaved, beautiful, lively and have an amazingly gifted mother - is that these two beautiful girls are the daughters of one of my childhood friends from my hometown of Williston, North Dakota (where you say? Exactly..it is pretty small). I have so many FUN memories of growing up with their mom. We had lost touch after college so what a blessing to be back in contact and to get to meet her children. Photographing them opened up so many memories - when I looked through the lens and saw their mom’s eyes looking back at me, I was taken back in time. It was a wonderful session and a wonderful honor. Thank you Erin for allowing me to capture them on film forever!

Enjoy your sneak peek. xoxo - l.s.
