Noah Wolf Photography, Minneapolis

One glance at the Bright Side Portraits' Good Times Gallery and it's easy to see what makes photo shoots here so extraordinary. In it you'll find families, couples, kids, and graduates all doing just that—having a good time. That’s because Bright Side maintains a photographic style that is always creative, personal, and, perhaps most importantly, fun for everyone involved. The family-owned company also encourages its clients to bring along special items, such as toys and costumes, to make sessions as natural and light as possible. The eight staff members on hand utilize more than 40 years of combined portrait-making experience to transform studio and outdoor shoots into quality keepsakes that, over time, become even more beloved than a macaroni collage made by the family dog.
