Family time. | Alexandria, MN family photographer

Living in a resort town we get many visitors from all over the place. Sometimes it is a middle destination for everyone to meet, and sometimes it is the draw of the lakes and small town get-away-ness people are looking for, and often times it has become a family tradition to come back to the same place because it is just that pleasant.

I get calls a lot from these families, for all of those reasons, since they are all in the same place to take photos to document this time together. With busy work, school, activity schedules it is really hard to get every member there. Believe me, sometimes I can’t even get my own family of 4 together! So when it happens that everyone clears the calendar, books the resort and airfare, and gasses up the car, in the effort to spend quality time together…. you should document it. Kids don’t stay the same size, and neither does your family size…additions of new babies, passing of loved ones. Circle of life, right? And why not do it when everyone is on “vacation mode”?

***Now I must say this: PLEASE don’t call me and say “We are in town THIS weekend. Can you take our family photos?” The answer sadly, will be a most likely, “no.” I book up months in advance, you need to call me the same time you are booking your trip. ***

Now…more from this incredibly blonde and adorable family. 🙂

Thank you so much! I enjoyed your family so much! I hope you had the best time in the Alexandria lakes area.
