When I was asked to photograph this family, I couldn’t wait!  Now, I’ve never actually shot a family this large before, but with an absolutely breathtaking location at one of their homes, and a bunch of great personalities, I knew it had potential!  It was a lot of work to get everyone looking in the same direction, with their eyes open, and with relatively happy expressions on their faces, but we managed to get some great large group shots and some fabulous individual and smaller family shots (with the help of a head swap or two!)

S Family, thank you for allowing me to capture this special time while you were ALL together!  It was truly a pleasure meeting every single one of you and I had a great time photographing you all!

I had been looking forward to this session for quite some time.  Adorable A and her family were coming into town from out of state and her mom and I were friends in high school, so I could not wait to meet Miss A and see their adorable family!  Grandma & Grandpa and the cousins also got in on the fun too!   As you can see in the last photo though, I think we wore A out a bit.  :-)

Thanks so much Z & J for allowing me to capture your family while you were in town.  It was wonderful meeting you guys and to see J again, it’s been too long!  I hope you guys enjoy this sneak peek!

This gorgeous newborn session has got to be one of my favorites to date (well, they’re sort of all my favorites!).  This sweet newborn girl came a little earlier than planned, but she was a fabulous little sleeper for us and let us capture some really unique shots!  Mom & Dad also got in on the fun and we captured some beautiful family images and with each of them individually.  Big sister {S} didn’t miss out on the action either and we managed to capture a few one with her and her new baby sister (with the help of some strategically placed Smarties!)

L Family, I cannot thank you enough for allowing me to capture these moments of your family, it was truly an honor!  Enjoy these few shots from your sneak peek!

Remember this amazingly adorable newborn?  Well, she’s SIX months old already!  I just can’t believe it!  She and her big brother came over for her six month session and we had so much fun.  Big bro was a HUGE help in knowing exactly how to get smiles out of his little sis and I could see how much they love each other, it was so sweet!  I adored the outfits and accessories that mom brought too (she shares an addiction to Etsy with me), especially the teal and the feathered headbands!  Aren’t they adorable?

Thank you {P} family for once again letting me capture your daughter and your adorable son!  I had a great time with you guys and I hope you love your sneak peek!

I was SO excited when this cutie’s mom contacted me about doing a session with them.  His mom and I go way back to our high school cheer-leading days and it was wonderful to see her again and to meet her absolutely charming little guy.  We had a great time taking some indoor shots and fortunately the weather was relatively decent for a March spring day in Minnesota, so we headed down the street to get some shots at the park.  I just love all of the different expressions he had.  He’s just got the sweetest disposition!

A & J, thank you for hanging out with me for a bit and making me laugh.  I had a wonderful time seeing and working with you guys.  I hope you enjoy these shots from your sneak peek!

I know, it’s not Wednesay yet, but it is tomorrow!  The little men in our life make us laugh (and cry? or is that just mine? :-P )   They keep us on our toes and guessing all the time.  Here are some adorable pieces from Gap Kids to dress your little guy in rockin style for his Spring and Summer photos.

Miss {G} and her family came over for her big one year session last weekend.  They were such a sweet and adorable family!  She was a busy little bee exploring all over the place and playing with her little pearl necklace we put on her.  She also had the most gorgeous blue eyes.  I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I especially love when I get to photograph little blue eyed babes since my kids have such dark eyes (thanks, hubby!).  I just love the way they look in the light and really grab your attention.

W Family, thank you so much for choosing me to capture your family and your adorable little girl.  It was wonderful meeting you guys and getting to know you!  I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

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!!

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. :-)
