Just getting this gallery ready to load, so I thought I would share some of my favorites of one of my favorite families. I just love getting to spend time with these little sweeties! And I get the pleasure to capture her over the next year during her Watch Me Grow Session. Isn’t she just beautiful!

It was wonderful to spend a little time in downtown Rochester photographing this couple shooting their maternity session. It took us 2 days as the first evening, we got caught in the rain after about 20 minutes. And when I say we got caught in the rain, I mean we got completely soaked, but were close to one of the Mayo employee lots and were able to take cover while it rained. Thankfully, we beat the rain on the second night and were able to finish up the session. I am very much looking forward to the Newborn Session that will take place shortly after they welcome their precious little one to their family.

Today, I hope we all take a moment to thank a Veteran for their service.
In honor of Veteran’s Day, I wanted to feature some of my clients who have served or are currently serving. If you’re a Veteran, thank you. Let’s not forget the sacrifices of those who are serving or have served and their families! Thank you for your service.. I appreciate it to no end.
