Fall {Southeast MN Portrait Photographer}

So many favs from this session! But that’s normal for this little guy, I have so many absolute favorite photos form his sessions over the last 2 years. He’s such a little ham in front of the camera even at 2 years old…. Love him! A boy and his dog… Aww. Look at his face… so intense! Trying to get a nice mother-son portrait and we get this…. But Mom loves it and says “it fits our relationship perfectly.”We did get a couple though!
