Beautiful Trio | Minneapolis Portrait Photographer
April 21, 2009If you’re a regular blog reader (i.e. you’re my mom), you may recognize these lovely ladies from the Teens 4 Charity shoot I did earlier. They’re sisters and their equally lovely mother is one of the adult leaders of the group. They met me at the Guthrie for a session just for them. It’s always such a nice change to work with gorgeous ladies who take direction well. Then I have to make fewer funny faces.
It’s also really fun when families are up for something a little different. These definitely aren’t your everyday portraits but how much fun are they? Mom was excited at the spots we were shooting in and I hope she’s equally excited with the results.
The best thing is, Mom does professional photographs every year which I think is so cool and so important! Hopefully I will be seeing these gals at least a few more times before they’re all grown up.

These are awesome, Mandy.
Also, I’m not your mother.

This is good stuff Mandy. I love the multiple reflection shot. That is such a cool location, and it looks the girls really had fun.

I’m not your mom and I read your blog.
Anyway, great work as usual. I have two little monkeys that you would be great subjects for you. I’ll FedEx them tomorrow…

I love these! The texture of that blue wall in the first few is awesome, but really I think these girls could make any location look great! Awesome job!

What a gift you have given our family. I will cherish these photos forever. Mandy, your artistic genius, although hard to put in words, can be easily seen in your photographs. Thank you for capturing the joy of my daughters’ relationship! Thank you a million times! Vera (the mom)

Thank you for your exquisite photos of my charming granddaughters! Somehow you were able to intuitively catch the soul of each of them as individuals, as well as loving sisters. And that is just how they look in ordinary time! Amazing, beautiful, creative work.
