It was a marvelous afternoon in September to capture images of a young boy for his first birthday, along with a fun family photo session. I hadn't seen Trisha and Jon in a while, so meeting up with them again was great - plus I hadn't seen the birthday boy since I took his newborn photos! It was wonderful catching up with this growing family and great friends!

Preview of a special event Monda Goette Photography covered for her family in Eagan, MN. A splendid day to document and preserve these special moments of love and lifelong happiness together. A story documented unapologetically in photographs.

Summertime in Minnesota is usually pretty predictable: Hot and humid most days! And the day we took photos of Brian and Julie and their darling little girl for her 2nd birthday photo session - was exactly that. It was very warm and muggy for this morning shoot, but that did not stop Katelyn from smiling and enjoying the day in her pretty blue dress(es)!

Get the tissues ready! This is a glimpse at a photo session by Monda Goette Photography featuring Kayla, along with her sister in a heartwarming tribute senior photo session with their late father's Harley-Davidson motorcycle. A session like this was a first for me, but it was so powerful, so emotional, so meaningful. I apologize now if anyone gets teary-eyed, because I know that I did a few times. Congratulations to Kayla on her high school graduation.

As an on location photographer, sometimes you have to have a back up location incase of inclement weather. Like rain. Recently, I met up with the Sorensons, along with their one-year old daughter to combine a family photo shoot and capture some images of the birthday girl. While our plans were to be outdoors at a park nearby, the rain had caused us to go indoors. But have no fear - ther was plenty of sunshine in this session. Check it out!

On a bright and sunny Saturday afternoon, Monda Goette Photography had the pleasure to hang out with these two adorable brothers for a children's family portrait session at the Charles H. Burwell Park in Minnetonka. It is always enjoyable to listen to young children tell me things that they like, such as swimming in the pool, trucks & motorcycles, and even watching how the younger brother would copy the moves and motions of his bigger brother as our session went on.
