C Family

I've known this sweet mom since we were in college together!  I absolutely love getting to watch her with her amazing family.  She's so gentle and patient, supporting and silly.  Her son LOVES trains, so we met at the platform near Lake Harriet to start our session.  Dad's family joined us at the end of the session for a fun sunset extended family shoot.  My favorite photos of the evening are the candid photos of the kids with Grandma and Grandpa.  When people are used to smiling for the camera, it can be difficult to get them to relax enough to make more unposed photos look natural.   You can see the love they all have for each other, and as the sun sets, it creates the most beautiful, soft glow around them all.
