Surprise for Mom | Woodbury, Minnesota Family Photographer

Check out this "secret" family portrait session from fall 2014! Two sisters, along with their husbands and children gathered on a chilly Saturday morning to create some special memories to give as a Christmas gift for their mom!  I think one of my most favorite parts of this family photo session were the many little Angry Bird characters that the two younger boys had brought with them to play with. You will see that the Angry Bird toys also got in a few photos, too! It made the boys happy to have their favorite play toys involved in their photo shoot. It made me happy that I could capture the boys as they were goofy with their different Angry Bird characters. An impromptu family pile-up was also part of our fun morning. This group clearly loves to be around each other and have a great time! I feel very lucky to have spent time with them!
