Bowman Family - [Brainerd, MN Family Photography]

The day of the Bowman Family's photo session was supposed to be sunny and beautifully warm for a fall day in Minnesota. I woke up in the morning to clouds and a chilly wind. Each way you looked, there was no end to the clouds in sight. Clouds can actually be good for a photo session, but still, I kept hoping for a little sunshine to warm things up for us.

As the time got closer for me to head to the Bowman's house, I caught a glimpse of blue sky. I drove west, toward the blue and by the time I got to Bonnie and Jeff's house, the whole sky was blue and sunshine flooded their yard. It made for the perfect fall photo shoot, complete with some amazing leaf color. Aside from the natural beauty, the Bowman family radiates love and beauty of their own. Bonnie and Jeff are madly in love, you can see it when you're around them. They are approaching their 5th wedding anniversary, this month! Their two daughters are beautiful, energetic and full of smiles. The session had me doubled over in laughter, and being thankful for the family in front of me.

Bonnie and Jeff, thank you so much for inviting me to your home to photograph your family. The love and happiness in and around your family is amazing. xoxo, Laura
