Their life right now is a glorious blur. 

With identical twin toddlers underfoot, selling their house, packing, buying a new one, and moving all in one weekend, these two are rockstar parents. (Look at all that adulting!)

In the midst of the craziness, we found time to meet up on my latest trip to Minnesota (email me if you want to know my next MN dates!) for some updated photos of their 14 month old twins! 

Who continue to win me over with their sweet smiles, red hair, and.... 

Their squishy little feet of course! 

Taking time to breathe and play is what makes family sessions the most real and relaxing. 

Taking time to allow children to explore and discover and taste and jump and play and be children. 

I had the privilege of photographing Erik and Elizabeth's wedding almost three whole years ago! And boy oh boy, how time flies! 

As a photographer you get to watch families develop and grow over the years, and it's been so fun to see these two become parents to their little boys. 

Also, how amazing is it that little twin boys can have such different personalities?? They may look the same, but they definitely have such amazing features that make them incredibly unique. 

Just look at those faces... :) 

Married for three years and still love to cuddle!! 

I'll be honest: just when I could easily tell the twins apart, mom and dad decided to change their outfits and I got completely messed up again! 

(Speaking of shirts, aren't those Wild One shirts adorable?? I want twelve.)

Erik and Elizabeth, thank you so much for allowing me to photograph your family yet again!! It's such a privilege to document your life and I can't wait to see your new house in person soon! :)

During my trip to Minnesota last weekend, in addition to my parents adorable anniversary photo shoot, I got to spend a lot of time photographing my family as we hung out.

We decided to make things more interesting by taking our little beagle puppy along with us to meet all 11 of my nieces and nephews. 

It's been a good long year since we've all been together, and it was delightful to see these munchkins again. 

They all loved meeting Pixel, and we were happy to allow the kids to wear her out. :) 

One of my favorite parts of the trip was sitting down with my parents to reminisce about the home they've been in for over 30 years and all the adventures we've survived together. I also got to ask them some questions about how they met, details about their wedding (it's amazing what you forget in 40 years!), and what they've learned since dad's cancer diagnosis almost 7 years ago. 

At one point during our weekend together, dad began a conversation about what we should expect in the event of his death. Logistics, finances, property, memorial plans, etc. It was painfully sobering, but amazingly peaceful as we discussed the reality in front of us without fear. 

But we made sure to laugh a little bit along the way. 

it's amazing how bearable grief can be when we're in this together.
