“Beautiful Chaos” | A Lake Elmo Family Session at the Park Reserve
There is nothing more meaningful than hearing which images resonate most with our clients and why. This Lake Elmo family session at the Lake Elmo Park Reserve gave us exactly that. We asked this wonderful mama to share her favorite image from their September session, and her answer was a perfect reminder of what family photography is all about.
“As always, it’s SO hard to choose a favorite image. I forced myself to stick with the mini10, since we got the full gallery last year. Every image is SO good!! With that being said, if we had to pick a favorite image, it would have to be the one where John and I are holding each other and the kids are running around us. I feel like it is a perfect representation of our life. John and I trying to have a conversation, trying to embrace each other, and always being surrounded by chaos. It’s beautiful. Beautiful chaos.”
Why This Lake Elmo Family Session Says It All
Her description of “beautiful chaos” is everything. It’s the in-between moments, the joyful energy, and the quiet connection amidst the whirlwind of family life that we strive to capture. This single frame tells the story of a season of life: two parents trying to hold onto each other while their kids orbit around them like tiny, unpredictable planets. We are so honored to have preserved that for them.
The Lake Elmo Park Reserve is one of those locations that just delivers. Open fields, beautiful light, and enough room for kids to run wild (which, as this session proves, is exactly what makes the magic happen). When families feel free to just be themselves, the photos tell a story that posed portraits never could.
