I’ve been super excited to be able to announce this new product offering!  These are the Mini Desktop Storyboards, aren’t they adorable?! 

This is the perfect way to display your favorite storyboard from your session in a smaller, desktop size. Your 5×10″ mini-storyboard is mounted on Styrene to ensure that it is durable and displays beautifully on the black mini-easel that it comes with.

These have been a huge hit with the grandparents in our family and would make a great gift for them to show off their favorite loved ones.

These sell for $35 each or 3 for $90 (black easel frame is included with each one!) and can be ordered at any time here.

I met up with the L family last weekend on what might have been the nicest summer night that I can remember in quite a while.  We met up at one of my new favorite shooting locations and let their two little ones explore the beautiful surroundings.  Even though some of the time D & P were headed in opposite directions, we managed to get some wonderful shots of the two of them together.

Thanks so much L Family for the opportunity to photograph you and capture your family.  I had a wonderful time with you guys and your kiddos are as sweet as can be! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

I met up with J downtown Minneapolis last weekend for his senior portrait session.  He was the first senior guy that I had the pleasure of shooting and it was a lot of fun taking a different approach to the session than I usually do with girls.  We got to use some pretty funky locations and J was such an awesome subject and very photogenic.

So, J, here’s your sneak peek, I hope you enjoy it and can’t wait for you to see the rest!

Juan_Preview1I loved this spot we stumbled upon, so fun and funky

I just couldn’t resist getting a few of these images processed.  I can’t tell you how excited I was when I heard that I was going to get to photograph this gorgeous little guy.  This was my first newborn session other than my own girl back in March and I was SO nervous.  Mr. B was just perfect though.  He let me move and pose him and I’m so pleased with some of the shots we got.

It just reminded me how quickly this time goes when they are all tiny and squishy like this.  Truly the time to be cherished.

A & T, thank you SO much for letting me come into your home and photograph your new addition.  He’s absolutely perfect and his big brother is such a cutie too.  And thanks to my BFF from high school, Auntie M, for hooking me up with them!!  I hope you guys like your sneak peek!

Last weekend I met up with gorgeous A downtown St. Paul for her 2010 Senior Portraits.  It was hard to get a bad shot of her she was so flawless!  We ventured around the city a bit and got some fun shots.  I just love shooting seniors.  They are so laid back and I don’t have to chase them around, LOL!

A, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek.  I can’t wait for you to see the rest of your gallery!

I had the opportunity to meet this great family of a co-worker of mine.  Her parents were celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary and wanted to commemorate this milestone with some family portraits.  We met up at one of my new favorite locations and braved the 90+ degree heat.   Fortunately, it was a very easy session to do as everyone was so enjoyable and easy to work with.  A & J also had the most adorable little daughters too!

H family, I had such a great time meeting you all and getting to know the rest of your family.  W & S, I hope you guys had a wonderful anniversary celebration and thank you for allowing me to help you capture it!

I hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek!

Wow, I can’t believe the amazing response that we had to the portfolio building promotion in July!  Thank you to all that have booked with me and have been sending referrals my way.  Your support means the world to me in helping my photography business get off the ground.  There aren’t words to express how thankful I am to each of you!

If you missed your chance at the complimentary session, fear not!  I am now offering discounted sessions at 50% off their regular rate.  This is still a great opportunity to have your familiy or children’s portraits taken in time for getting together those holiday cards (I know it’s only August, but we all know how quickly that will go by!) or for getting those senior portraits taken at the beginning of the school year.

But, be sure to book quickly as there are only a few weekend spots remaining in September and October.  I’m happy to also book into early November for outdoor sessions with the understanding that the weather may not cooperate, but we’ll make the most of it.  :-)   To see the dates that are still available please visit our website at www.tentinytoesphoto.com and click on the Calendar link.

This discount will be good on any sessoins that are booked by December 31, 2009.

Hope you have all been having a wonderful summer!  I can’t believe school will be starting back up in just a few weeks. The time is flying by WAY too quickly!

This past weekend I had the opportunity to photograph one of my good friends from college and her adorable family.  These 3 boys are so funny and cute and you can tell how much they love each other from the moment you meet them.  They are expecting a little sister in a few more weeks and she’s going to be one loved and very spoiled little girl!

We got some fun and energetic shots of them throughout our session.

Then mom and I took some maternity pics of her in the gorgeous golden sunlight while Dad chased the boys around.

H family, I had so much fun hanging out with you guys!  I’m so excited to see photos of your little sister when she arrives.  Give her lots of kisses from me!

I hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek!

On Saturday I had the pleasure of seeing an old friend from high school and photographing her and her adorable daughter.  Little Miss G was such a trooper in tolerating our props and outfits and her efforts paid off, because these may be some of the cutest pictures I’ve taken.

We also got some gorgeous shots of her and her beautiful mommy spending some time together.

M & G, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek and I can’t wait for you to see the rest of your gallery!

Last night I had the pleasure of photographing these two absolutely adorable sweeties.  Older sister A, was shy at first, but once she came out of her shell, she was all smiles and hamming it up.  And Miss K was just too cute and trying to imitate her sister and chase her around.  They had so much fun running around the garden that we were at and playing in the fountain there.  We even managed to sneak in a few family shots.!

Thanks for a very fun evening with your sweet girls.  D family, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
