The K Family l Winona, MN

 

 

 

I had so much fun taking pictures for this family. I was in gymnastics with this mommy to be with baby #2 while growing up, so it was great to meet her little family & catch up. Isabella is now 2 & mom is due with baby 2 at the end of August. Isabella did not want to leave mom's side, so we went with it & did a really fun family session in the forest, including a tea party & fun with balloons! Now I can't wait to meet baby #2 when it decides to make its debut!! You can also view all of the photos from this session on my Facebook page at www.facebook.com/MandiJohnsonPhoto. Stay tuned for newborn photos of baby #2 coming very soon!!

The S Family l Winona, MN

 

 The S Family was a lot of fun to work with! With a brand 2-year old & a 2-month old, these parents are crazy busy!! Two-year old Gavin is constantly on the go, but has great manners & listens so good to his parents! He did a great job following my directions & smiling for the camera, but he especially enjoyed showing off his Birthday shirt!! He also loved giving his sweet little baby brother, Cameron, hugs & kisses!!

Richie. Class of 2014. Arcadia High School

Meet Richie, Arcadia High School Class of 2014 Senior. Richie was a joy to work with! He was extremely friendly & did so great at following posing & directions. Richie's mom is a long time friend & co-worker of my aunt, so I was glad that I was given the opportunity to capture such a special time for him. Good luck on your senior year Richie!!

The F Family l Winona, MN

 

This family was such a joy to work with & aren't they just beautiful!! Our session started with a location that had a huge fallen tree stretched across it, but they were troopers while we scooped out an alternative place. Big sister Gia has such an amazing personality & is a great big sister to her 2-month old sister, Tinley!! You can see Gia's personality shine through in her photos, as well as, the love she has for her little sister (well most of the time)!! I have to add that this dad is a true baby whisperer & has the most patience I have ever seen from a guy with a screaming baby, props to you dad for all of your hard work!!

I had the opportunity to photograph my big brother's wedding at the end of May. The wedding occurred outside in a gorgeous State Park! Go figure it rained right up until the ceremony, but luckily luck was on our side...The rain stopped & the sun even came out for a while, which made for gorgeous light & amazing weather!! It turned out to be a fabulous day & night!! I couldn't be happier to welcome my new sister-in-law to our family!! Congrats RJ & Maria on your unique & gorgeous wedding!!
