Sweet Siblings Andrew and Avery – Minnetonka Children’s Photographer

These two cutie-patooties came into the studio for a fun indoor session, to document the little man’s 1yr old milestone!
They were pretty much all smiles, just crazy happy kids! Mom and dad must be doing something right,
and their joyful dispositions sure made for a fun session.

Okay seriously- doesn’t that tie just make you want to smooch him?? So stinking cute!!!

Sweet Baby Adler – Minnetonka Newborn Photographer

A tiny sneak peek of this ADORABLE little man who was my last session of 2012.
He is one alert and active little dude- he didn’t want to miss a thing!
Eventually my charms worked on him, and he fell into a peaceful sleep, so we could capture some of his squishy newborn goodness.
I always just in awe of how completely adorable and tiny newborn babies are….and how fleeting this stage is, as every day
they are doing something new!

Thank You & Happy New Year!

2012 was a fabulous year, I saw so many sweet babies, joyful children, and loving families.
I am truly thankful for all those who chose to have their lives and loved ones photographed by me this year.
I am always honored to be a part of documenting a family’s story. Looking back at some of the images from 2012,
brings me so many smiles remembering how much FUN this year was!
Next year is already gearing up to be a great one, and I can’t wait to see what unfolds!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for allowing me to be part of your lives!

Siblings – Minneapolis Photographer

I was so excited to see this fun trio again this fall! We had so much fun last year, I knew this year wouldn’t be any different- and they did not disappoint! We once again did the session in their yard/neighborhood, which I always love,
as there’s no better way to have a session feel immediately personal.
I love when the kids I photograph have their own ideas as to what we should do, and these three all had fun suggestions, and came up with some ideas that I just LOVE, mostly because it’s a true representation of who they are as siblings.
This first image just makes me LAUGH, the brother in the middle…

Life Stories Project- The Story of… Our Holiday Card

Myself and some fellow fab photographers are continuing another year of our Life Stories Project.
Life Stories Project- what’s that?  See MONTH 1  for the full story.
The gist of the project, is myself along with some fellow photographers are creating a monthly photo project- of our OWN children.

So….as a photographer, the task of creating your own personal family holiday card is always a little stressful. You want it to be great, and at the same time, it all takes place during the busiest, craziest time of year for our business. So each year, I usually have a few ideas in the back of my head, and then see what I have time for…this year, the session actually took place, on a September evening, when I had a last minute cancelation during gorgeous peak fall color and the weather was AMAZING- so with only a few hours notice, I pulled some clothes from the kids’ closets and took them “our secret place” as they like to call it- and let them romp and play, and they kindly posed when asked, for some photos.

This session was my back-up plan- my “in case I get too busy to photograph them later” ….. BUT I ended up loving the images so much, that I knew I wouldn’t need to reshoot later on. Which is good, because as predicted it got crazy busy and I barely got these done and mailed before the holidays as it was, even though I photographed them 2months earlier!

So I present to you, our 2012 holiday card- and my super cute kids:)

Wow! Your card turned out beautifully! Your kids are adorable and I am super impressed with how cooperative they appear to be! I finally had someone else do our photos this year, as it’s just too frustrating for me to do it myself. lol.

Sweet Amelia – Minnetonka Newborn Photography

This sweet baby girl is the newest addition to the family- my new niece! It’s been almost 10yrs since a GIRL has been born into the family, so we were all very excited when we learned another little girl was going to enter our world. Especially my own daughter, who while of course does adore all her younger boy cousins and her own baby brother, was excited to finally have another new girl cousin. And she’s a sweet one little Amelia, we’re so happy she’s here!

Fun in the Leaves – MN Family Photography

Now that the mad-crazy-rush of the fall portrait season is behind me, I can finally pay a little attention to my sadly ignored blog!

Two of my favorites from a mini-session in October. I just love this little guy- last seen as just a peanut of a newborn. Oh how he’s grown!!
