Blondie

This little girl was so blonde... and SOOOO very girlie. The shoes matched the hair bow! She was very dainty, and instead of looking at the fish in the pond, as usual, we were looking for Ariel. I hope she never loses her enthusiasm for mermaids!!

Torture...

This client lives directly across the street from me. Imagine my luck, I get to see these amazing kids whenever I want to! This was a re-shoot since the last set was a disaster with bad weather. I'm backed up since I've had three shoots this week, but I couldn't resist putting a few of the photos from last night's session up. Sorry S&K... these aren't even the cutest ones. I'll make you wait for those!

Family Reunion

These photos are a little less formal, but just as fun. I had the pleasure of joining a family on a riverboat and I got to capture the celebration of what family means- the spirit of togetherness. What a fun evening! Thanks for inviting me Lisa!

7 months gone by in the blink of an eye...

Wow, Megs is 7 months already! I remember making this resolution when she was born... she is my last, so I'm going to enjoy her more. As if that would slow time from passing. It didn't. I blinked, and she's crawling. I love every minute.

Family Complete

I love this family. I know I've said it before! I finished editing this session while having contractions right before Meghan was born. If you have children, you know what I mean when I say that you have a moment of uncertainty before the birth of a child. My family felt perfect to me, just the four of us. But here was this new little one, waiting in the wings to join us. How would we all change?

One year before I did these photos, I did a different session with this same family. They were great- parents and two beautiful girls. Well, mom started to get queasy and admitted she was pregnant. I couldn't imagine her family any different, they were perfect! But when Dane came, he really completed their family, like he'd always been a part of it.

Looking at the love this family has for this little boy, suddenly made me realize that we were meant to be a family of five too.

Enjoy!

Tyler

This little family was visiting MN last summer, and grandma called me up to book a session. What a cutie!! These were just taken in the park around the corner. Sometimes the simplest locations make the best photos!

Princesses

These two girls are both such princesses. Except they can't decide on who gets to marry the prince. So my son gets to be married to a different sister every other day. Ahhhh, the imagination of children!! Maddie and Emily, fall 2006...
