Candid Outdoor Portraits with the Asche Family | Minnesota Family Photographer

As a MN family photographer, I love capturing families in settings that let their true personalities shine. The Asche family joined me in a beautiful field and lake location in Willmar, Minnesota, for a session filled with laughter, playfulness, and natural connection.

With Payton, Kala, and their kids Lakyn and Hendrix, the session was all about embracing the stage of life they’re in now. We focused on candid giggles, snuggly moments, and a few playful shots that perfectly show the joy of their family bond.

About the Asche Family Session

The Asches are an outgoing family who love to keep things lighthearted. Instead of stiff poses, their session was full of spontaneous moments! Whether it was Lakyn twirling in the grass, Hendrix being carried in dad’s arms, or the family wrapped up in a big, cozy hug.

We also made sure to capture a few important pairings, including:

• Mom with the kids

• Dad with the kids

• Parents together

• The whole family enjoying the golden light by the lake

Making Kids Comfortable During Family Photos

Every family session is unique, especially with little ones. Lakyn loves Bluey, dancing, and racecars, so weaving in those favorite things during the session helped bring out her real smile. Instead of forcing stiff poses, we leaned into play and conversation, letting the kids feel comfortable while creating photos that look natural and joyful.

That’s when the real magic happens—the unplanned, love-filled moments you’ll treasure for years.
