The Family
EXPERIENCE
Minneapolis MN Family Photographer
Remember this fleeting season with timeless images.
A reminder of what matters most.
The beauty of your everyday.
Too often, you’re the one behind the camera. You capture the milestones, the messy moments, the day-to-day, but that often means you're missing from the frame. One day, your children will want to see these memories.
They'll want to see the way you looked at them, the way you held them, and the woman who was their entire world. As a Minneapolis Family Photographer, my sessions are designed to capture your connection exactly as it is right now. The genuine laughter, the quiet cuddles, and the little in-between moments that make your family uniquely yours.
What’s included
in your Minneapolis MN Family Photography session
A full-service portrait experience designed so you can simply show up, be present with your family, and leave with artwork that tells your story.
Preparing for your session should feel exciting, not overwhelming. As a Brooke Elisabeth client, you'll have access to the studio wardrobe for mothers, babies, and children, along with curated style guides to help coordinate your family's look with ease.
Together, we'll also select the perfect location for your Minneapolis family session and begin planning how your portraits will live in your home. Every detail is thoughtfully considered so your images are created with their final destination in mind.
Styling & Planning
2–4 weeks before your session
As a mom, you're often the last one to get ready. On session day, let us take care of you.
Professional hair and makeup is provided by our trusted partner, Lady Vamp Artistry, either in your home or at the studio before your session. This time allows you to relax, feel cared for, and step in front of the camera with confidence and beauty.
Hair & Makeup
Either in your home or our studio
Your family photographs deserve more than living on a screen. A few weeks after your session, we'll meet for your viewing and design appointment, where you'll see your portraits for the first time. Together, we'll select your favorite images and design the artwork that will become part of your home and your family's story.
Whether through framed wall art, heirloom albums, or a combination of both, the goal is always the same: transforming your memories into something you can hold, live with, and pass down for generations.
The Reveal
2-3 weeks after your session
The final step is bringing your artwork home.
Once your pieces are ready, our professional installer will carefully hang your custom gallery wall so everything is perfectly placed and ready to enjoy. Heirloom albums will be available for pickup once completed.
This final step ensures your Minneapolis family portraits don't stay tucked away on a hard drive, but instead become part of your everyday life.
Artwork Installation
6-8 weeks after your viewing appointment

I'll never be able to truly explain how much those photos mean to me. Not to mention, she made the process so easy from start to finish. From session prep to photo day to framed prints, we're grateful to have her to capture the moments in time I never want to forget.”
