Lake Elmo Park Reserve Photography

Let the Kids Be Kids

When a caterpillar is found, you best believe the boys in the Przytarski family take turns holding it. When you ask them to walk and they full-on run, just go with it! My philosophy with family photos is this; we get the holiday-card-style images taken immediately, and then we let the kids go. That's exactly what happened during this Lake Elmo Park Reserve photography session.

My favorite images always occur in the latter part of the session, when the kids are being kids. Case in point, these three, energy-filled cuties. Brothers whose main goal is to wrestle with each other. From my outsider's point-of-view, (I'm sure their parents feel different!) it was hilarious and enduring to see the huge smiles and endless giggles. These boys are most happy when they play, tackle each other, or run full force with the others behind. There's beauty in children at play!

By the end of their session at beautiful Lake Elmo Park Reserve, they were covered in dew, grass, and dirt. I wouldn't want it any other way! They had fun and we managed to get some smiles and moments in-between.

This session was part of a yearly promotion Emerald Rue has each fall, called Sunset Sessions. To get on the list and be the first to hear about Sunset Sessions, sign up for Emerald Rue's newsletter.
