Minnesota Photographer | Chicks Dig Him | Spring Portraits

He's pretty darn cute to me! :) There’s something truly special about capturing the innocence and joy of childhood, especially during the vibrant springtime when everything seems to come alive. In the past, I've had the delightful opportunity to photograph kids with chicks, a tradition that I cherish deeply. Spring is a season filled with renewal and happiness, and what better way to celebrate it than by documenting those fleeting moments of pure joy and connection between children and nature?

This year, with my youngest child, we hadn’t had the chance to engage in this delightful activity as much as I would have liked. Fortunately, a dear friend of mine, recognizing our shared love for these charming springtime experiences, generously opened her home and her heart to us. She invited us over in Afton, Minnesota to capture some memorable moments with her adorable baby chicks.

As we arrived, the excitement was palpable. The little chicks, with their soft feathers and curious peeps, instantly captivated my youngest. It was heartwarming to watch him interact with these tiny creatures, his face lighting up with pure delight as he gently held one in his small hands. Each click of the camera captured not just images, but the essence of joy, wonder, and the simple pleasures of childhood.

As we were wrapping up our mini photoshoot, my friend’s daughter joined in the fun. Her infectious laughter and playful spirit added another layer of sweetness to our session. We managed to capture some truly enchanting moments of her as well, as she interacted with both the chicks and my youngest. The images reflect a beautiful tapestry of childhood friendship, curiosity, and the magic of a sunny spring day.

I hope you enjoy these snapshots as much as we enjoyed creating them! Each photo tells a story, a moment frozen in time that reminds us of the beauty of nature and the joy of childhood friendships. These memories are not just pictures; they are treasures that we will cherish for years to come.

Thanks dear Kara for this adventure and experience. So thankful for you!
