Josh - Active family photographer - Duluth, MN

Hey, everyone! I’ve noticed a pretty solid uptick in new followers over the last month and I thought I’d take a minute to re-introduce myself to you! First and foremost, welcome and thank you for joining me on this little corner of the internet! I appreciate that and hope we get the chance to cross paths on a trail somewhere in the future! My name is Josh and I’m working over here to carve out my niche in photography, one adventure at a time in a style that I’m calling “Active family photography.” What is Active Family Photography!? -It’s you and yours engaged in something that you all love to do together. -It’s muddy faces, skinned knees, and thimbleberry stained fingers. -It’s watching your kids launch themselves into the air on their bikes. -It’s paddling a quiet section of river, telling stories while you wait for the perfect spot for a shore lunch to show up. -It’s wading cool waters, looking for trout while you giggle and tumble over rocks. -It’s snowshoeing your favorite trail long enough to dig out a pocket full of gummy bears to share with your toddlers. -It’s raw, real, wild fun with your family documented for you to enjoy. -It’s your big and loud moments and your small and quiet ones. That’s Active Family Photography. That’s what I’m up to over here and I’m thankful to have you join along. If a photo session like this sounds like fun to you, hit the link in my bio and let’s map out your adventure! If you’ve booked a session with me, sound off in the comments! What adventures did we go on and what we’re some of your favorite photos to come out of that shoot? What was your experience like? Did we have fun?! 👇 If you haven’t booked a session with me and are curious, ask more questions in the comments section or hit up my DM’s! Let’s chat! Thanks for sticking with me this far and for joining in on this adventure! It can’t happen without you and I’m glad you’re here! See you on the trails! -Josh #duluthmnphotographer #duluthmnfamilyphotographer #activefamilyphotography #duluthmn

From the first sips of coffee on the dock to the last cannonball and all of the marshmallow covered faces in-between. Summer days up north move quick! Let’s take some time to capture the In between moments that slip by in that beautiful chaos. I have a few openings this summer for family reunions, cabin days, resort trips or even meeting you at the campsite you’ve reserved. If this sounds like your kind of family photo session, hit the link in my bio and let’s book your session now before summer slips by.

When presented with options this morning, Noah decided on “Take a walk to see music”, so, we did! We took the lakewalk over to @duluthcoffee for the third time this week and enjoyed another @dhgmf morning show. Along the way he snapped a few photos and I’ve included them here for you all to enjoy. It sure is fun to see what captures his attention in the world and I can’t wait to see more of his work as he continues to take photos. The last slide is one last homegrown themed double exposure. Happy Homegrown, y’all! Have a great weekend! P.S. @cleversupplyco , your short strap makes a perfect cross body sling for his @campsnapcamera . It’s like it was made for it.

Back down to @duluthcoffee for a morning show with my little dude in tow. It was his first ever @dhgmf show and he was treated to a bit of @actualwolfmusic . Not a bad way to kick off a Wednesday! #dhgmf26 #duluthmn #fujixpro3 #multipleexposurephotography

More @dhgmf double exposures. Working down @duluthcoffee and appreciating the music from @therealjonedwards while editing away. Happy Homegrown, y’all! #duluthaf #fujixpro3 #doubleexposurephotography #blackandwhitephotography

Happy Homegrown, Y’all! #fujixpro3 #xf23mm #multipleexposurephotography #hgmf26 #homegrownmusicfestival

Nothin’ like a kite on the breeze. #duluthmn #duluthaf #perfectduluthday #lakesuperior #fujsooc

You’ve watched them toddle around the yard and now they’re wrapping up their junior year, eyes set on walking across that stage next spring. The last summer before they head out into the world is here and it’s time to soak it all in. My books are open for summer and fall sessions for the senior class of 2027. Hit the link in my bio to book your session now.

Shortest Day. Longest night.

Shortest day. Longest night. Happy Solstice, everyone!

Every now and again (and as frequently as possible) ya gotta do something that would make your 10 year old self yell out “Hell yeah, we still do that?!!?” if you had a chance to sit and talk to them and tell them about your life. Global Fat Bike Day is a fantastic, little holiday that allows for a bit of that. Ride bikes with friends:☑️ Eat loads of junk food :☑️ Explore a new spot:☑️ Laugh a whole hell of a lot:☑️ Happy GFBD to those who celebrate and I hope your adventures were stellar today!

Fish on. Just got some film scans back from this fall, included on the rolls were these highlights from a day spent chasing steelhead with @jarrod_from_hope and @thejeepguy on the Brule.
