Backyard sessions part two

A mom plays with her baby at a documentary family photography session in her Minneapolis backyard with Leslie Plesser of Shuttersmack Photography and Filmmaking.

These photos are from an early morning backyard session.

Sometimes it’s easy to forget how hard it is to have a baby at home — you know, our brains just magically forget the torture (thank god). This session was a great reminder because even though the children were ADORABLE and super well behaved… we needed to finish by 8:30 am so the baby could nap.

Let’s pause and think about what time a baby is waking up if they are napping at 8:30 am. Oh those poor parents.

And my god, having a six year old is great.

Also, one of these pictures captured the eldest daughter swinging with her imaginary friend. I LOVE IT.
