The Dirkes Family {Minneapolis, MN}
One of my favorite families to photograph, introducing for the second time on this blog, the growing Dirkes family!!! Craig is also a photographer, which means extra pressure when it comes to experimenting with creative license … one of my favorite things to do. After getting a few “safe shots” out of the way, we created a few studio-style portraits with the PhaseOne medium format system and this simple lighting setup. And we had a little inspiration from Lion King along with a few meltdowns. But when you are photographing little ones you can’t pose, you just roll with life and enjoy the ride. Being fearless, of course.

WOW! I am MADLY in LOVE with these photos! Thank you so much, Rj. We had so much fun shooting them too. As I was looking through the photos I could hear the laughter being re-lived with each one. Can’t wait to frame some!
Fantastic photographs!!! They really capture the personality of everyone especially that busy girl Mira!
Ohhhh, lovely family. Loved the soft lighting and the outside fun. Especially the up-and-coming young photographer with the purple skirt. So cute. A treasure of pictures for the family
