Rachel & William...

flew in all the way from California where they currently reside so we fit in their engagement session the week of their wedding. Rachel was a local South St Paul/Inver Grove Heights previously and chose South Valley Park where she grew up biking through. As we ventured to the bike path she frequently biked through, she told me about how the last time she really explored the area was when the space (now newly renovated into a playground) was a ball park during the summer which the city would turned into an ice rink in the winter time.

They brought their beautiful baby boy who was sleeping peacefully throughout the session until the last few minutes when he woke up just in time for some cute family photos.

A heartwarming family moment with affectionate gestures shared outdoors.
