Oh my goodness—we are so excited to share this sweet Centennial Lakes Park family session with the Rife Family!

You might remember baby Mason from his newborn session with us. Well, he’s back—and even cuter (if that’s possible)! He’s still such a tiny guy, but now he’s flashing the biggest smile, and our hearts just melted. Watching him grow is one of the best parts of what we do as a lifestyle family photographer in the Twin Cities!

We met up with Mallorie, Jesse, and Mason for an afternoon session at Centennial Lakes Park in Edina, one of our favorite spots for family photos. With its beautiful paths, charming bridges, and soft summer light, it was the perfect setting to capture these joyful, love-filled moments.

Getting to catch up with Mallorie and Jesse and see how much little Mason has changed was so special. His sweet smiles, his tiny giggles—all the feels! It’s moments like these that make family photography so meaningful.

Mallorie + Jesse, thank you for trusting us again to document this chapter in your family’s story. We’re so grateful for you and can’t wait to see you again for your next session!
