We’ve been SUPER busy at our household moving into a new house, so I apologize for the lack of blog posts lately.  I’ve got a TON of fun sessions lined up for March and I can’t wait to share the images from those.  But in the meantime, I thought it would be fun to hold another contest to spice up the action on the blog!  This is our biggest contest EVER and our first Cutest Baby & Child Contest!!

What will we be giving away?  We’re going to actually have TWO awesome prizes for this contest!

First Prize ($900 value): 

  • Free Mini Session up to 30 mins either on location or at the studio
  • Disk of 10  images from your session with a print release
  • 2 5×7 prints

Second Prize: 

  • $200 Gift Certificate to be used on any future session or prints with us.

Here’s how our Cutest Baby & Kid contest will work and how you can enter:

  • Send ONE favorite photo of your child(ren), any past or current photo will do, anytime between today (March 2nd) and Tuesday, March 16th to our email amy@tentinytoesphoto.com  **If you have mulitple children, you can either submit a photo of them together, or separately, but you can only vote on one photo per day (they can all be a part of the mini session, even if entered separately).
    • Please add the following information to your submission email…(this information WILL NOT be included in the postings of your pictures! This is just information for us to use to contact you if you win and to send you special deals on your child(rens) birthdays!)
  • Parents Name(s)
    Phone #
    Email Address
    Name/Age/Birthday of child(ren) in picture

  • We’ll have two methods of voting each day
    1. The first will be here on the blog, where we’ll upload the photos with an assigned number and voting poll within the post and you and your friends and family can vote once each day. 
    2. The second way will be on our Facebook Fan Page, where you can vote once a day by commenting on the photo of your choice.  Your comment can be as simple as “This is my vote!”. 
  • Send EVERYONE you know to our Facebook page and blog to vote! 
  • Voting will begin on Wednesday, March 17th and will run through the 24th, so that gives you a full WEEK to get everyone voting for your cutie!

So, start sending your photos!  I can’t wait to see all of your adorable little ones faces!

I’m sure I’m not the only one that is SO sick of Winter already.  It’s always this time of year that I think we all start getting spring fever!  Warmer days (aka – 40 degrees!) begin to appear and the snow slowly starts to melt.  It won’t be long before those little crocus flowers are peeking through the last little bit of snow. 

March is already upon us and with that, our calendar has been filling up quickly with Spring sessions!  So, if you are hoping to get a session scheduled in the next couple of months, you’ll want to act quickly!  We only have one opening left in March and two openings left in April!  We’re also taking bookings in May and June now as well.

Worried about the weather?  No reason to worry now as we now have indoor, natural light studio space at my home in Rosemount.  Of course, we will prefer to stay on location for most of our sessons, but it’s a nice alternative in case the weather is an issue.

Of course since no post is complete without a photo, here’s a recent one of some snowflakes that were on my car window one morning. :-)

Hope to see you there!

It’s time for another addition of What to Wear!  I figured these would be a good way to fill in the gaps during the slow season of sessions.  And besides, this is sort of like shopping for me too, and I can’t say No to that!

I’m working on a “wintry” theme one, but this one would be great for fall photos or even those late winter photos when it’s not quite “spring” yet, but more of an early spring.  I love combining blue and orange and these outfits bring out some great combinations of those colors.  All of these outfits can be found at Old Navy.

I try not to post too many photos of my kids on here, I leave those to our family blog.  But, I just couldn’t resist sharing our Christmas card photo with you all.  These two are the reason that I fell in love with photography and they are the ones that drive me to get better and better and to do what I love. 

So, from our family to yours, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas!  Thank you for a WONDERFUL first year for Ten Tiny Toes Photography and I know 2010 will be even better!  We hope that your family and friends have a wonderful holiday season!

This little guy melted my heart from the moment I met him.  He was full of smiles and laughter and was such a joy to work with and had THE most gorgeous blue eyes!  Even though it was a bit chilly out, we had a great time hanging out indoors to get some fun shots of Mr. {K} and mom and dad.  We did manage to get a few shots outdoors before we got too chilled though (thanks for tolerating it, guys!).

6 months is one of my favorite ages to photograph.  {K} was so fully of energy and was anxious get moving and crawling and even showed me some of his Yoga poses!

P Family, I had such a wonderful time meeting you guys and photographing your adorable family.  Thank you for welcoming me into your home to capture your memories.  I hope you 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 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!

…that lasts forever!  The {R} family was so wonderful to work with!  It was so fun to have older kids as subjects, they are definitely more cooperative than the little ones I’m used to photographing and I didn’t have to bribe them with any Smarties!  We caught one of the last beautiful fall days and took some shots outside of their home and then went to a local park for some more.  Both E and her mom were beautiful and it was so easy to make them look good.  S was equally as handsome and he got in some good practice for his senior photos that he’ll be having next year too.  :-)

A, E & S, thank you so much for welcoming me into your home to take your photos.  I’m excited for you guys to see the rest of them!  Enjoy your sneak peek!Minneapolis Family Photographer

Handsome little {C} is just 6 months old and just so incredibly sweet!  We met up at a gorgeous park along the St. Croix River for our session on one of the most beautiful fall days we’ve had this year.  He really has one of the most sweet, laid back dispositions you’ll ever see in a baby!   He was SO easy to photograph, as were mom and dad.  This family is just so beautiful, I wish I could photograph them every day!

W Family, thanks so much for letting me capture you guys at this fun time in your lives.  I hope we can do it again!  Enjoy your sneak peek!
