{Quincy} | Forest Lake MN senior portrait photographer

September 27, 2011

Just getting started on Quincy’s senior photos, and wanted to share just one quick one so far. I can’t decide if I like the color or black and white version better, so I posted both. More to come. I’ve been a little behind with blogging, but hopefully I’ll have her full post up before the snow starts to fly. :)

{Bennett} | Minneapolis MN newborn photographer

September 26, 2011

I was editing this little guys newborn pics and came across this one. It was too cute not to share – more to come soon.

{Riley & Gavin} | Lino Lakes MN family and children’s photographer

September 25, 2011

Still getting caught up on blog posts from earlier this summer. I figured if I don’t do it soon, it may not happen since almost completely booked up through mid November – the holiday rush is always insanely busy! (I can’t believe I just had to type “holiday rush” – doesn’t seem like it should be that time yet!). Anyways, I met up with Riley and Gavin a while back to get some brother-sister photos. It was looking a little grey outside, but the rain held off and we were still able to get some cute pictures before the sun was completely hidden behind the clouds.

{Teagan & Bryce} | Blaine MN children and family photographer

September 17, 2011

Almost exactly a year ago I photographed these two down by Como. Bryce was just starting to walk at the time. We met up again a few weeks ago for some more family photos, and Bryce is now a busy 2 year old on the move, and Teagan was the perfect model, as usual. :) Here are just a couple of my favorites from our session.

{Jon} | Moundsview, MN senior pictures photography

September 11, 2011

A few weeks ago I met up with Jon, his sister, and his mom for Jon’s senior pictures on a gorgeous Wednesday evening. We decided to meet in the Mill City area of Minneapolis – so many awesome spots there, and I was not the only one who thought so – there were at least 3 other photographers down there taking senior pictures, too – LOL! Definitely a popular spot, but worth the wait at the stairs. :) We did find a few spots where there was no one else around, which I always like to do, too. By the end of the night I had so many photos that I just loved – it was really hard to narrow down which ones to edit. Just posting a couple of my favorites here.

I had such a great time with you guys – thanks again, and good luck next year, Jon!

{Twins!} | Eagan, MN high school senior photographer

September 2, 2011

I always thought my first time shooting twins would be a pair of newborns, but I was wrong (and is it bad that I feel guilty every time I say/type/think “shooting” anything? I need to start saying “photographing” twins – it just takes too long). Anyways, I met up with Kelsey and Sarah last weekend for their senior photos, and they made my job so incredibly easy. I am used to chasing around toddlers and making silly faces at babies to get a smile – it’s a nice change of pace to have someone who listens and doesn’t need to be bribed with goldfish (or an orange shake and some gum if you’re one of my own kids – that’s what we’re up to now with the bribes. Soon it will be $20 bills…). These girls are both absolutely stunning, and were super nice to boot. I had a great time with them, and I can’t wait to finish up the rest of their photos! I just had to post a couple before I leave on vacation for the week. Enjoy! :)
