Olivia and Cooper!

Olivia and Cooper!

Omigosh these two were SO cute!! They are four-year-old TWINS and they are so adorable! I love when brother and sister like each other well enough to get close and even hold hands!! They enjoyed being a little silly, but they were SO cooperative for four-year-olds! It was a pleasure having them in the studio and can’t wait to create a super cute Holiday Card for their family!!! Here is a sneak peek!

Bailey’s Senior Session.

Bailey’s Senior Session.

Bailey came in this week for her senior photos, she is a senior at Shakopee Senior High.  She was hoping for some fall color, unfortunately our trees are only beginning to think of changing right now. But we did manage to find a little bit of color by the river and took advantage of it. Her photos turned out beautiful, and Bailey was a pleasure to have in the studio (and thanks to mom for assisting with the reflector!!). Here is a sneak peek of her session!!

CLASS OF 2010: there is still time to get in for senior photos and meet your yearbook deadline, but you need to CALL NOW! 952.233.2169

I can not believe this little cutie-pie is one already! This past year has just flown by!! His mom informed me that he is going to be a big brother next spring! That is SO EXCITING! My job is SO amazing, I love watching little babies grow up and become big sibblings!!! I have some of the most fantastic clients I could ever ask for, and truly enjoy getting to know them on this level!! Here is a sneak peek of Mr. Charlie, isn’t he adorable with his curly blonde hair?!?

Sarah came in this week for a boudoir session. She is going to give her hubby-to-be a sexy little album for his wedding gift!  Her session ROCKED and she will have a lot of gorgeous images to choose from. Like most boudoir clients, she was extremely nervous when she first arrived at the studio, but within several minutes into the session she was completely at ease! Her session went flawlessly! Here is a tiny sneak peek!

This past weekend I had the opportunity to help out a fellow photographer that broke his elbow. He fell off an 8′ ladder the weekend before and put out a call looking for help for his scheduled wedding. David Grupa , David Jones and myself stepped in to help him out. I had a wedding of my own in the evening so I was only there to cover the getting-ready shots and assist with some of the formals before having to leave! The couple was SO wonderful to work with, given that they had never met the three of us!! The benefits of belonging to a photographic community definitely proved themselves in this case!!Here are some fun images from the afternoon!

I had the hono r of photographing Shannon and Ben’s wedding reception this weekend at the Atlas Grill in Minneapolis. They are such a sweet couple, and we referred to me by a fellow photog (well, actually a photog’s assistant, but close enough) who is Ben’s aunt.  I was SO honored that she chose me over all the other photographer’s that she knows!  The pressure was ON! She offered to be my assistant for the photos and of course I took her up on it! It was so fun to work with someone else!! 

Shannon and Ben are a wonderful couple and I really enjoyed being a part of their very special day! Their photos turned out amazing, and I am excited to share with you their sneak peek slideshow! To see the images you can also view them on my Facebook Album !

Bella got to try out the hat since she is lacking in hair compared to her sister!! Here is a little sneak peek of the cutie-pies!

Lauren ~ The Babydoll!

Lauren ~ The Babydoll!

Ok, prepare yourself for one of the cutest little girls you’ve ever seen!! Lauren is 7 months old and looks just like a doll!! Her parents are going to dress her up as a Cabbage Patch Kid for Halloween, I thought that was perfect!

I have worked with Lauren’s parents quite a few times over the last two years! I first photographed her mommy’s boudoir session, then her parents wedding, then when her mommy was pregnant with her I photographed their pregnancy session, and I have also photographed both of her grandparents sides of the families! She also has a very loving uncle as well!!! I can not wait for her one year birthday session!  I can’t get over her curly hair, big blue eyes, and those eyelashes!!

I had the pleasure of doing an in-home session this week for Allen and Karen. They recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary and I was contacted by their daughter-in-law, whom I had done a business session for earlier this year, to photograph the parents! They have a beautiful home in Minnetonka and it was so much fun to have the opportunity to do something a little different than in the studio! Here is a quick sneak peek!
