New Senior Portraits Of Eva In Minneapolis, Minnesota /  by Bradley Hanson

When I’m not photographing weddings, I’m either on my bike or shooting portraits. I’m moving more toward portraits, which is filling up all of my time this summer. Well, I guess it’s technically still spring for a couple more weeks, but you know what I mean. I photograph family portraits, senior portraits, corporate events and even headshots for companies and Linked In profile photos, etc. Contact me at info@bradleyhanson.com or through the contact link of my website above to get a quote.

Late Autumn Family Portrait Mini-Session In Minneapolis /  by Bradley Hanson

We’ve been having mild weather in Minneapolis and decided to use the opportunity to take some quick family portraits of my wife Jackie and I with our youngest son, Oliver, at sunset. Traffic was a little more congested than expected, but we arrived just as the sun was hitting the horizon. This left us with about 15-20 minutes to try a few things. As always, anything involving our son Oliver was a mix of fun and adventure.

These are in relatively chronological order as the light temperature kept evolving. Just before it got dark, the gray sky had deep background pockets of pink and orange.

Weddings And Families, Birth And Babies /  by Bradley Hanson

Although I do not market myself as a birth or baby photographer, I regularly photograph for families I've met at one of the 600+ weddings I've photographed. As a father of three myself, I know how powerful the experience of birth is, as well as the indescribable joys of parenthood. I love that photographing weddings put me in the middle of such joyful events, and that connection often continues a few years later when the same couples become parents themselves. This can mean that after photographing their wedding, I photograph the birth of their children and later the family. I take the same approach I take with weddings and portraits: the role of silent observer rather than active director. Reality is always more beautiful than anything posed or scripted. There are several families who I photograph yearly in Seattle, allowing me to actually watch these same children grow up. I just photographed a Bat Mitzvah for one of these same families, images from which will be a blog post for a later date...
