Sweet little {V} is just five months old, but she has so much character and personality at her young age! I got to get together with her mom, dad and grandma for a fun little session at their home. We had fun with her cute outfits and some backgrounds and got some great shots with both mom, dad and grandma. She was SO smiley for us and was such a joy to photograph. She also had the biggest, most beautiful brown eyes. So cute!
I hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek of little miss {V}!

I’ve had nothing but little newborn boys thus far (don’t get me wrong, I LOVE them too!) so it was SO wonderful when I found out I was going to get to photograph this precious, beautiful little one. I’ve had slew of hats just waiting around for a girl and mom and I didn’t waste any opportunities to use them! Sweet little {P} was a perfect little peanut for us.
She had THE most amazing hair too, it was just too cute to not get some shots of it.

I love it when my mom’s are just as obsessed with Etsy as I am. She had this awesome one on the left.

And one more of the hair, just because I loved it SO much.

Last weekend on a beautiful autumn day, little Miss {P} and her family met up with me at one of the gorgeous Minneapolis lakes that they live by. I was so happy that it was nice enough out for our session because I knew P’s gorgeous blonde hair and blue eyes would be beautiful in the sunlight. I love when I get to photograph little blondies because my kids have dark hair and eyes. We had so much fun watching her feed the few remaining ducks and just exploring and running around.
L Family, thank you so much for choosing me to photograph your adorable little girl! I had such a great time with you guys and hope we can do it again! Enjoy your sneak peek!

It’s time like these when I find myself wondering how I got so lucky. How is it possible that I’m getting paid to do what I absolutely love most? I can’t explain the feeling and the rush that I get when I have a session like this, it’s almost a high of sorts. Whatever it is, I thank God every day that I have discovered this passion and that I am blessed enough to be able to share it with others.
This wonderful session was done at the B family’s home. I absolutely love having sessions at my clients’ homes because it seems that’s where everyone is most comfortable. The kids are happy and excited to be playing and mom and dad are always more laid back too. Plus, it’s fun for me to see where they live and play every day, and helps me better understand who they are and to get to know them better.
They have the 3 most beautiful blonde haired, blue eyed girls. While all three of them have very unique personalities from each other, they all fit together perfectly like pieces of a puzzle to make one of the most enjoyable families I have yet to meet. Mom and Dad were so much fun too. Dad made some awesome leaf piles that the girls were playing in and that we used for a lot of our photos!
Thank you B family for welcoming me into your home letting me capture your girls last weekend. I had an amazing time and I hope you enjoy these photos for many years to come. Here’s your sneak peek!

This little guy is one of my new baby planners. I’m stoked to be able to photograph him through his first year of life. We couldn’t have asked for his newborn session to go any better either. He was cashed out from the moment I arrived and slept great our entire session. It was so fun because his mom had THE best props and we used a ton of them! My particular favorite was this vintage baby scale. I’m definitely going to have to find one of these things to add to my prop collection. He also was sweet enough to model some new hats from Etsy too.
M Family, I can’t wait to watch little J grow over the next months of his life. Thank you for trusting me to document this special time in your lives! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

LOVE this scale!

And, I had to save the best for last. This is “the Pose” in the newborn photography world that so many attempt to get. I’ve tried it a few times, but this was the first time I was able to get it. I told you he was the best!

I love photographing seniors, they are so much fun and follow direction pretty well too. :-) We met up downtown Minneapolis for N’s senior portrait session. We even ventured over to the new Twins ballpark to get some shots with it in the background too. While we couldn’t get into the area by the park, it was still so cool to see the finished park and to envision what it will be like to go to games there next year. The L family and I got along great because we are all big baseball fans! We even had an interesting encounter with the “skyway security”, but all ended well and we had a great session.
Here are some of N’s best “head shots” that we put together for him to choose from for his yearbook photo. I’m excited for them to see the rest soon!

This sweet and adorable cutie was SO much fun to work with. I know her mom from high school and it was wonderful to see her again and to meet her family. We met up on a beautiful fall day at one of my shooting spots and we played in the leaves and had a great time and got some great shots of H for her two year photos.
S Family, thank you for the opportunity to capture this special occasion in H’s life. I hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek!

I love my job. Seriously. I can’t think of many other ways that I’d rather spend my time other than photographing newborns in their first few weeks of life. They are so small and innocent and just pure perfection. Little {H} was no exception. He was the perfect little man for us and conked out pretty much from the moment I arrived and let us take such great shots of him!
I really wish I could express how grateful I feel that people choose *me* to photograph their children. It’s truly an honor and a blessing that I’m so lucky to get to do.
Thank you {W} Family for welcoming me into your home. Here’s your sneak peek!
