There are a lot of familiar themes in the Thomsen's family photos this year: Downtown Fargo - Backyard Fun - French Bulldogs - Jumping in the pool. Shooting in familiar locations and repeating themes is bound to happen when you photograph a family for 10+ years. Things that have changed? These boys and downtown Fargo. The boys are no longer teeny kiddos but growing young men. And downtown Fargo? It's a completely different area from the one we first visited 5 or so years ago.

Change with a big dose familiarity? Heck yes - that's 100% okay with me.
