Wills Family in Mendota Heights, MN

I planned to meet the Wills family at a park in Mendota Heights, but 10 minutes before the session it started to rain!  So we quickly changed plans and I took pictures at their beautiful house instead.  I think this was meant to be!  They recently remodeled their house, and I love how the location has a special meaning to them.  I have known Anita for a while, and seem to keep following her career about one year behind her.  We worked at the same law firm, company, and now are home with our kids.  It meant a lot when she was one of the first people to book me last spring when I launched this business!

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the afternoon (holding back on posting all of the great family pictures so I don’t ruin any holiday card surprises)!

We started the session with a little joke-telling …

And goofing around.

We caught a break in the rain so we went outside on their front porch.

Seriously, how cute are they rocking on their front porch together?

More rain pushed us inside.  But no worries; they have a basketball court and the kids ran around and tried to jump over me.

After getting some energy out, we did more family pictures outside in their back yard.  Thank you so much for having me do your photos, Wills family!
