So, I stayed up late two nights in a row working on what was going to be the most awesome Christmas card in the history of Christmas cards. Beautiful, ornate, 5×10 with a pearl finish. Yep, it was going to be gorgeous. Then I realized that Christmas is only a week away, and these things don’t even come with envelopes. By the time I actually got them out Christmas would be long over and my clients would all think I’m crazy. *sigh* I think next year I’ll start working on these in, say, August? I’m horrible with getting out Christmas cards on time (but I am going to do my Christmas shopping today!). Rather than let this awesome card go to waste, I thought I’d at least post it here for you guys to see. Merry Christmas, everyone, and have a great 2012!

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.

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!

Everybody say it together now, “awwww…”. Seriously, these two were so sweet together, and despite the humidity and hummingbird-sized mosquitoes (no exaggeration, really) we still had a great time. I’ve never gotten so bit up in my entire life (threw that bottle of bug spray out as soon as I got home), but it was totally worth it. It was a beautiful evening, and the colors when the sun set were amazing.
I had a great time meeting you guys! I hope you enjoy your photos, and congrats on your engagement! :)

Julie + Dave (seen here) = Brynn! She was born on her due date – the fourth of July, an awesome time to be born (and I’m not just saying that because we almost share a birthday). She was another tiny newbie for me – my smallest diaper cover was falling off of her tiny little butt – LOL! She was a dream for our entire session. When she fell asleep, she was out cold, and we were able to get a lot of sleepy shots and some awake ones, too. Brynn’s nursery is decorated in the pottery barn Brooke theme, which has some cute owls (my daughter is obsessed with owls, so I thought this was pretty awesome). When I found out, I just had to get a matching girly knit owl hat for her newborn session. :) I have so many cute photos to share, but these are a few of my favorites. Brynn is one of my first year plan babies, so I’m sure you’ll be seeing more of her soon. :)
Doesn’t she have the most amazing long eyelashes!?!

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting up with Julie and Luke (and their adorable pup) for some engagement photos. We had been planning this session for a good 6 months or so, but things kept coming up and I’m so glad we waited! We finally had nice weather, and really, aside from the brave few, who wants to do outdoor photos in the winter anyways? :)
We met on a gorgeous Sunday morning, the sun was shining, and these guys were so much fun! I’m not sure if Luke was totally up for having his photos taken, but he was a great sport about it. Plus, I got a tour of where their wedding will be at the TPC in Blaine next fall – GORGEOUS!
I had a great time meeting you guys, and thanks for your patience with the pics. This bronchitis has really been kicking my butt. Seriously, who gets sick in the summer???

My summer season has officially started with a bang. Things have been so busy lately that I have barely had time to update the blog! I do vow to blog every session, so although it might be a few weeks late, it will happen eventually.
I had a great time meeting up with these guys for an early morning photo shoot a few weekends ago. I was pretty sure we were going to get rained out yet again, but was pleasantly surprised to see the sun shining when I woke up that morning. Finally – some nice weather on a weekend! I arrived early to make sure I got a good parking spot incase the place was packed. Yeah…I was the only one in the parking lot – LOL!
I still get butterflies before each session, but I love it when a family can totally put me at ease. These guys were so nice, and so much fun! Cal totally cracked me up – he was posing like he’d been practicing for weeks. Of course, we got a lot of the silly faces, too, which are always fun because that’s when the real personality shows through. Ethan was a little shy at first, but came around after some peek-a-boo. And the way he followed his older brother around just melted my heart. I’m pretty sure my kids would have been running in opposite directions the entire time, but these guys did great!
Thanks again, and I hope you enjoy your photos!

So, ever since my youngest was born (she turned 2 in January), I’ve been trying to get a decent photo of her and her brother together, looking happy (or at least not having fingers up the nose or making dinosaur faces), looking at the camera, and not trying to kill each other. It started when she was just a week old, and Jake (who was 17 months old at the time) wanted nothing to do with her. I’ve been trying ever since, and I think I FINALLY succeeded! I am going to have this blown up huge for our living room, because who knows how long before it will happen again. I did learn that jellybeans and fruit snacks work great for bribing, now that Joss is finally old enough to bribe. :)

I met up with Aidyn for some photos while her, her mom, and grandma were in town last weekend, and amazing still is not enough to describe this girl. Aidyn is a heart baby. She was born with a very complex congenital heart defect (click here for more info on CHD). At just 6 days old, she had her first open-heart surgery. At 10 days old, her first heart cath. Just shy of her first birthday, she had corrective heart surgery, where she emerged with a fully functioning four-chamber heart. Meeting her now at 3.5 years old, you would NEVER guess that she has gone through so much. She was smiling, giggling, and running circles around the rest of us (telling us to “hurry up” when we weren’t walking fast enough – LOL!). I am in awe of her – truly, she is a walking miracle.
In honor of Aidyn and all she’s been through, I will be donating $1 for every blog comment left on this post.
I had a great time meeting up with you guys, and I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

You might remember Claire (especially from the hair) here. She’s one of my baby planners, and came back for her 3 month photos on Friday and I can’t believe how much she’s grown already! Still a peanut, but absolutely adorable!
I had a great time seeing you guys again (and I’m glad the Jakes had a good time together) – I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
