9 Months {SE MN Children’s Photographer}

Since we are going to have some summery temps again here in MN for the next 5 days, I thought I’d share this 9-month-old session from earlier this summer. Hard to believe we will be doing her one-year session in next couple of weeks. How cute is she with that watermelon?! and the hot air balloon?! We made that prop 2 or 3 years ago and just used it for the first time during this session. We may or may not have too many props since we just got to use it. I say we can never have enough. It has been such a beautiful week for our 3 sessions so far, 3 more to go this week. I hope everyone will be able to get out and enjoy the weather!

MN April Snow {SE MN Photographer}

Snow in April?! 

I think we all made a face similar to my dog, Jackson’s,  in the photo above when we heard  we would be getting more snow this week, again.   In reality he just really wanted his ball to play fetch, but it made me crack up when I saw the photo.

The last few weeks Andrea has been going through some of my old photos that I had been stacking in a drawer and  she has been putting them into albums for me and I realized I really do not take many personal photos anymore with my actual camera vs my cell phone. The unusal April snow was a good reason to pull out my actual camera for a few shots even though I couldn’t leave the patio with all the snow.

Eloped {SE MN Couple Portrait Photographer}

We do not shoot weddings, I repeat we do not shoot weddings, however, every once in awhile, we will shoot some special wedding portraits in the studio. We were honored to be able to capture some wedding portrait for this couple on the day they eloped. Loved her lace dress and their shoes!
