I thought it would be fun to share a glimpse into a day in the life in our house. My crazies are 1 and 5 and I couldn’t imagine a day without them.

A boy and his ball | Twin Cities Children’s Photographer
January 19, 2010There’s nothing like the bond between a boy and his favorite baseball. This ball is pretty meaningful to my little man. We went to one of the last Twins games at the Metrodome this fall and had some amazing seats courtesy of my full time job. So amazing, that we had about 15 or so foul balls fly over our heads! Now, one would think that it’s an easy feat to catch one of these foul balls, especially when you’re in the 2nd row, but I’ve decided it’s one of the hardest things to do, and that the baseball God’s have to be on your side if you are to become a proud owner of one of these.
Well, one of the many flew *right* past us, and of course, I was distracted by Joe Mauer’s cuteness and not paying attention! Thankfully, a woman a couple of seats over from us caught it. She was SO sweet and decided that Tyson was to be the proud new owner of that little ball and gave it to him. I think it may have only been use for a few short minutes in the game, but it was SO awesome to see the joy on Ty’s face when he got it. He held onto it so tightly for the rest of the game, and it now has a special place on his shelf in his room next to his other sports momentos.
So, when I wanted to practice on my new seamless paper, I told him I would let him take some pictures with his special baseball. He quickly decided that he wanted to put on his Twins jersey as well and well, they turned out pretty cute, if I do say so myself! We now have a fun storyboard that I’m going to get made into a canvas for his new room (when we hopefully move in a couple of months!)

Baby’s’ First Year Plans! | St. Paul Baby Photography
September 13, 2009The first year of your child’s life goes by in the blink of an eye. The changes that they go through from the time they’re a newborn until when they’re blowing out that big candle on their first birthday are utterly amazing. Don’t let a moment slip by! We are now offering 2 different baby plans to capture your child as they journey through their first year of life.
This plan might be different than what you are used to seeing, where you are told to come at specific intervals. We wanted to do something different and more flexible, so you can capture your child at whichever moment you want (or if you’re past the newborn phase, you can use it for moments later into the first year). So, while our plan does have a recommended timeline, we are happy to be flexible and see you whenever you’d like within the first year!
Here are the details and both of these packages can be purchase through our online ordering site. These are also a great way to give the mom-to-be in your life a gift that will stay with her forever.
First Footprints – $275
Our first year baby plan takes you from capturing your tiny newborn in the first weeks of life, all the way through their first birthday. This package covers 3 separate sessions through the first year at whichever increments of time you prefer. We recommend having newborn, 6 month and 1 year sessions, however we are happy to do whatever suits your style.
This package also includes:
- 10×20” Storyboard after the last session, featuring your favorite image from each session

We also have a combo maternity/first year session as well.

This is a combination of our first year baby plan with an additional maternity session included. This package covers 4 separate sessions beginning with a maternity session and 3 additional sessions taking you through the first year, at whichever increments of time you prefer.
This package also includes:
- 16×20” Framed Print from Maternity Session

- 20 page 8×8” coffee table album featuring a combination of your photos from all three sessions
- 10% off all announcements

Part of your session with me includes the creation of a couple of sample Storyboards. If you aren’t familiar with what Storyboards are, they are a really nice way to display in a larger format, some of your favorite photos from your session. There is also the ability to add in some text whether it be a favorite quote, a name, age, date, etc. It’s completely up to you!
Here are a few samples of 2 I put together for the L family. There really are an endless amount of variations you can do with Storyboards. They are one of my personal favorite ways to display photographs in my own home. This particular one is in a size 10×20, this could also be done vertically.
And here’s a sample of a square one:
