Autrey + O'Grady Families - Brainerd, MN and Crosslake, MN Family and Child Photography

Last year, I photographed the entire Teufert Family when all the siblings were home and staying up at the cabin. This year, while the Autrey's were here on vacation, we held a dual photo session with sisters Sara and Jill's families. The weather was perfect, the kids here hilarious [as usual] and we had a blast. It's amazing to see how much one year makes in the personalities and photogenic-ness [??] of the kids. This year, all three of them loved the camera, and had me almost in tears with laughter.

Autrey's and O'Grady's: Once again, thank you for having me out to the cabin to take your family photos. I left smiling, excited to get home and look at the photos. I hope you love them, and they remind you of the perfect afternoon on the lake in early summer. I'm already looking forward to next summer's session! xx, Laura

These next two are among my favorites from the session!


Unbelievably cute sibling love.






Maddie's dad was wrapping up a golf game when we transitioned from the Autrey's photos to the O'Grady's. When he walked up, Maddie ran straight to him and this was her greeting. Yes, there were big tears forming in my eyes.

Then, she wanted a group hug with her mom and dad!


Her leg in the photo below just kills me! Did I mention she's FULL of personality and is just a ham in front of the camera?


The next two were her reactions to a bunch of mosquitos attacking us near the water. One of my outtakes show a mosquito, landing right on her lip. She would swat at the mosquitos, make the face on the left, and then laugh and giggle, hence the right photo.
