From morning to afternoon | Eagan lifestyle photographer

Recently, we got a bit of snow in the Twin Cities.   It was rather crazy because it happened suddenly in the morning, and the flakes of snow were absolutely huge.  I couldn’t resist getting my son all bundled up, bribing him with a cookie, and gently shoving him out the back door. I asked him nicely to do adorable happy-toddler things like twirling, and laughing.  Of course, he ignored my request. At first, he just quietly ate his cookie and looked at the falling snow.

Then I threw a stick into the yard to see if he would go after it. I couldn’t believe it when he did! I tried to make it a game, did some funny jumping around stuff, and then I got these gems…


I was thrilled, even though they were not technically the greatest photos I’ve taken. As a mom, I sometimes have to turn off my photographer brain and allow myself to love photos because they are adorable, even though I missed focus, I don’t love the way he is positioned, and there is motion blur. The strangest thing about this day was just a few hours later, it was warm and sunny like the snow had never happened. I got him back outside to try to get photos in the same spot….well, that didn’t QUITE happen like I wanted it to! But I still love the comparison. Yes, that is another cookie. A mom has to do what she has to do!



He certainly deserves a high five from me. And Minnesota weather deserves a high five for fastest improvement!
