This amazing couple and their adorable little dog, Sampson, came in last week for a family portrait!! I am not really a dog person, I prefer cats, but this dog seriously made me consider! He was such a snuggler and so sweet!! I would have hid him in my purse to take home if I thought they wouldn’t have noticed! Their photos turned out so awesome, I just loving doing something “out of the norm” every once in a while!! Here is a sneak peek!

Miss Mari is 6 months!

Mari came in this week for her six month session, and was a bundle of smiles! Her parents were bummed at her 3 month session because she was SO serious, but this time around was a whole different story! She was all smiles and giggles except for when it was time to change her into a different outfit, then she whined and complained wanting to get back down onto the floor! She had an amazing session with a ton of super cute photos! Here is her sneak peek!

These adorable little guys came into the studio this week for their 4 months sessions. They were born early, so birth size they are acutally about 2 1/2 months big! I photographed their mom and dad’s wedding a little over 4 years ago! I can not get over how time flies when you’re having fun!! And I have to say I really am having FUN, I mean, look at these cuties! How can a person go wrong photographing babies all day long?!? Here is a sneak peek from their session, meet Jack and Isaac!!!

This sexy little thing came in last week for a boudoir session to give her man for Christmas!! We had an amazing session, and she was just too cute! She was so nervous because this was so “out of the box” for her to do, but she knew he would absolutely love the gift!!

Be sure to schedule your Sexy Little Christmas Session ASAP to ensure Holiday delivery! We are opening up the studio on Fri. Nov. 27th and Sat. Nov. 28th just for boudoir clients, but you will need to CALL NOW to reserve your session time! 952.233.2169!!

Hurst Twins!

Hurst Twins!

The adorable Hurst family came in last week for their 18 month session. Big sister Sophie is almost FOUR, I can not even believe it to be possible! I remember doing  her mommy’s pregnancy photos before she was born, and it truly seems like only yesterday. It’s interesting to think back and realize I was in my old studio then! I am thankful every day for my amazingly beautiful studio that I have right now!! The past three years have just flown by!!!

Anyways, sorry to segway! Here is the Hurst Twins (and big sister) sneak peek!!

The Drigger’s Family.

The Drigger’s Family.

Oh what fun this session was! I photographed Kristi and Mike’s wedding two years ago and now Mike’s daughter, Mandee, is one of my beloved employees!!  

It’s funny what a small world it can be sometimes! Kristi found me because I had added Mandee as a friend on Facebook because I was trying to recruit high school seniors for senior photos. Meanwhile, Kristi’s friend, Ellie, had come to me to photograph her baby. Kristi knew it was fate and I was meant to photograph their wedding! Then this spring I had posted on my blog I was looking for an employee. The position had been filled for several months already when Mandee found the post, but she sent me her resume anyways. The day I received it in my inbox was the same day I was going to be letting that employee go! It was perfect timing! And Mandee is a fantastic fit in the studio!!!

I absolutely love the relationship their family has. Mike and Mandee have such a wonderful father/daughter relationship, and Mandee just adores her step-mom Kristi. They are such a happy, fun-loving family you can’t help but love to be around them!

So anywho, the whole family came in this past week for family photos, including the dog! Mike was stressing out about the dog the entire time, it was really cute! I am used to having animals in the studio and I know how they react to the environment and they are always fine! We had a great shoot and captured some really great images! Here is a sneak peek for you!
