Spring Lake Park Reserve Photo Family Session // the Ogrens

The Ogren Family is one of our amazing families from our church, Hope Community Church in Cottage Grove. They graciously have been with us since the beginning of our photo journey -- from the dark photos in our house to realizing that we just weren’t about those so moved to exploring the outdoors. It’s been so fun to see how they have grown over the past years and to see how our own family has grown along the way.

Bethany leads the Rhythm & Rhyme Music Time group that we are a part of on Thursday mornings. If you're looking for a winter activity for your kiddos birth - 5 years old that is fun and free -- this is seriously it. There are all sorts of fun music instruments, activities, and songs to participate along with. The best part has to be that Ethan is pretty wiped by the time we get home -- hello nap time! 
 
This family has helped us so much on our journey of being parents to our boys. They’ve given us clothes for the boys, tips for behavior, and a toddler bed that Ethan would bury himself with stuffed animals on all the time – seriously, you’d move his giraffe to find his head under it all!
 
Ogren family, we love you guys! We love your heart to serve and encourage those around you! We so appreciate your generosity and how connected you are to the church. Your love of Minions is something we definitely share – as well as that adorable Minion hat ;) We are so honored you’ve chosen us to capture your family these past years and love to see how the boys have grown! We remember Jeremiah being such a tiny little baby – crazy how they grow! We pray that God blesses you as you have so blessed us!
