~Skater Girl A~ {Southern Minnesota Children's Photographer}

~

I love working with this family. They always have such fun ideas!! We had a blast doing A's skater session, and she is so spunky! I really like how they turned out. Totally her. 

Doin' her thing...

I love this alley in Tracy, a little hidden gem 

So sweet!

Definitely one of my favorites. The dancing skater. 

I love using props that show their personality. 

Thank you, A!! I hope you had as much fun as I did!!! 

~C~ is ONE! {Southern Minnesota Children's Photographer}

Oh C man, you are something else! He wasn't sure about me at first and wasn't real impressed with having a camera in his face. But, with the help of big brother he let out his giggles and we got some super cute photos! 

I need to mention, the Wheels Across the Prairie Museum in Tracy, is such a fun location for photos! And C's outfit was PERFECT!

He's so cute, even when mad!

Should I smile? Maybe not...

I love capturing little ones in their own element. Just doing what they do. 

There's his smile!

Those curls kill me!

He loved the mini train, just his size!

He found the bell on the old fire truck, too cute!

Thank you G family for allowing me to capture your little one! Can't wait to work with you again!

****August is VERY full, only a few spots left. Start thinking about fall portraits! September and October will be here before you know it! ***

~M~ is ONE!! {Southern Minnesota Children's Photographer}

I got to watch this little man grow up in the last year. Every three months I would be able to capture the newest little thing he learned. Every time it took him a few minutes to warm up to me, but he always relaxed eventually. 

His on year shoot was no different. I loved watching him check everything out at the park. Feeling the grass in his toes, checking out the sticks, always investigating. 

It is amazing for me to take part in these children's lives. Watching them learn things for the first time, make their funny noises all the while capturing every moment for their parents. They do grow too fast. 

He was amazed with his toes!

Oh that smile!

Such beautiful eyes!

He had his goofy moments 

Laughing with all his being, such joy!

Yeah, he's a stud and he knows it!

Thank you M family for allowing me to capture little M's first year! I hope to work with you again soon!!!

~M~ Six Month Portraits {Southern Minnesota Children's Photographer}

Oh little M you are too cute!! He is growing so quickly and I feel to honored to be able to watch him grow through my lens! A little Christmas theme thrown in there this time!

Love this shot! 

He loves his truck ornament! 

Full of smiles!

Adorable!!

Really?! Love this. 

Outtake I had to share! 

Baby in a box! 

Merry Christmas!

I couldn't have asked for a better session to end the year on! Can't wait for his 9 month session!! 

Baby B turns ONE!! {Southern Minnesota Children's Photographer}

I love this family. They are very good friends of ours and I was fortunate enough to capture their wedding day. This little man is the light of their lives. He is so precious and has such a cute little personality. All smiles! 

I mean really?! How cute is he?!

Love. 

He was quite serious seeing bubbles for the first time. That look! 

Proud parents!

It took a little more to get smiles toward the end, but this family is beautiful! 

My first cake smash. It was so much fun! Probably because I didn't have to clean up after ;-) 

Looking forward to watching you grow Baby B!! Love you!

~M~ Family Children {Southern Minnesota Children's photographer}

 Everyone was complaining a couple weeks ago about how Summer was gone, we are in for an early Fall/Winter. Well, Summer reared her ugly head this week and proved us all wrong. We have been in the 90s with HIGH humidity. Yuck. However, when I'm shooting, I forget just for a few moments of how hot it really is (until I look at my camera and see remnants of sweat, ew.)

As my last session before my maternity leave, I shot these beautiful children. They were such troopers in the heat. The little ones sure made me work hard, but I think we got some wonderful shots that showed these unique personalities!

Sweet littles

 

 

You can tell that ~M~ is a great big sister, she was helpful and braving the heat like a champ. She even was willing to check the depth of the creek with no question!

 

 

 

~M~ is the quiet type, and I can respect that. He climbed the tree, though!! Very cool!

 

 

Oh ~J~ so sassy! She pretty much gave me this look the whole time, lol. But who can resist those beautiful blue eyes and blonde curls?!

 

 

 

 

Little ~B~ is another sassy one, but oh so cute!! How adorable is that outfit?!

 

 

 

 

 I am so pleased I was able to capture these moments. I hope to work with this family again in the future!
