My Minnesota: September 2014
I'm so honored to join other Minnesota photographers in documenting what Minnesota looks like through our individual eyes. September was quite the month to jump in with. We are stuck somewhere between summer and winter right now, one of the most confusing months of the year. Every morning the kids want to know how to dress, with temps range from 80's to 30's. The sunsets before the kids go to bed. Leaves are falling from trees, even though it's warm enough to be in your swimsuit, the next day you are wearing layers playing in those leaves. The activities that started during late summer on gorgeous sunny nights, are now being wrapped when the only light is headlights from cars. It's a month of beginnings and endings. A last chance to say goodbye to summer and the warmth that it brings, but also a time to welcome a season filled with it's own unique beauty.
After you've checked our what "My Minnesota" looks like, I'd love it if you head on over to Allyson Wasmund Phototography to see what Minnesota looks like through her eyes this month!
Evening in the Park
Spend and evening with this family, go for a walk, find a frog, pick flowers, play games, and be happy.
Goodnight Moon
There are session that just evoke so much joy. Having spent some time with this couple for their maternity pictures, it was wonderful to be welcomed into their home and to capture them with their new baby. Seeing them go from a married couple to a family of 3 and watching their world change in ways that no one can describe was amazing. The whole session was so filled with love and joy especially the end with Grandpa and Grandma reading Goodnight Moon on a prerecorded book.
This is nine
My oldest turned 9 last month, and I was able to do a little session to document who he was on the actual day of his birthday. He didn't love it, he would much rather be behind the camera. He is learning manual mode on an old rebel t1i, and doing REALLY good. I won't allow him to turn it on auto, he has a good point and shoot for that. I was able to capture who he was through my eyes, but at the end he requested his vision, he wanted to be a Jedi Knight, and be "blacked out" or silhouetted. This is our collaboration, our visions combined. I love all the ones that I took of him, where I can see his expressions, and his smile, but these images go way beyond love for me. They speak of his vision for himself, they are something we did together and something we both love as a result. This is him. This is nine.
