~J~ Family an evening enjoying the farm... {Southern Minnesota Family Photographer}

M is a fellow Beachbody coach with me, and I adore her. She is fun and light-hearted and her family was a blast to work with. 

We had perfect fall weather for their session in September. And did I mention the light? Oh, yeah it was perfect! 

This barn is 100 years old and we had to incorporate it somehow with this farm being in M's family for so long. 

And sometimes, you have to be a mom during photo shoots. (This is my favorite)

Beautiful family!

So precious. 

He's something else, reminds me so much of my little man!

Sharing a laugh. 

You don't want to know what we had to do to get those smiles!

I love. 

She's so cute! 

Thank you J family!! I had a lot of fun adventuring around your farm! I hope to work with you again in 2016! 

~L~ Children and Family.... {Southern Minnesota Family and children's Photographer}

I have worked with this family on many occasions and I love it each time! The kids seem to warm up to me more and more each time and their oldest always says hi to me when I am in the elementary school, I love that! 

We did a children's session, then a family session a month later. Each time it was fun!

Oh E, you are something else, and so adorable!

H is such a good big sister. 

She made me work for those smiles. 

Such a handsome little man!

Lovely. 

You just have to let them do their thing...

Then came the fall family photos...

It wasn't easy, but it was worth it!

The boys. 

A mother's love...

This is where it got fun, run at me! :-) 

Such a beautiful family!

Mommy's boy!

Thank you L family for allowing me to work with you! I hope to work with you again in 2016! 

~New Baby M~ {Southern Minnesota Newborn Photographer}

I don't shoot newborns often. But when I do, I always enjoy it. I get my baby fix in and can hand them back :-)

This family is one of my favorites. They are so fun and great to work with. 

Such a proud big brother. 

Daddy's girl.

So happy. 

♥

She was a good sleeper. 

Oh tiny toes, how I love thee!

Baby smiles ♥

Mother's love. 

Thank you F family for allowing me to capture M's first few days. She is so precious and I love seeing her each week at wrestling!! Look forward to working with you in 2016!

New Year Bring on 2016~ {Southern Minnesota Portrait and Wedding Photographer}

Where did 2015 go?! This year has gone so quickly, and was amazing!! I want to thank all of my clients for letting me capture their special moments!

I will have a "best of" post hopefully this week and updated blog posts of all my sessions this fall/winter. For now, I wanted to update you on some changes. 

No, I am not upping my prices, relief, eh? I like where my prices are at this point. I'm not saying they will never change, but for now we are sticking with it. 

I will however, not be selling 4x6 prints anymore. They will be 5x7 and larger. 

My main goal for my clients is to have a fun experience and receive high quality prints with that experience. This is the reason I offer the print credit with my sessions. This way, I know my clients will receive at least a few beautiful printed products. 

This leads me to disks. I still want to offer edited images as well. I, for one, love having the ability to print at will. In the past I have offered 10 edited images with a print order of $100 or more (not including print credits). This year, I will be doing a similar offer but only 5 images will be on the disk for over $100, 10 for $300 or more. 

Disks will still be offered for $250 for 25 images. 

When printing off of disks, I highly encourage clients to order anything 8x10 or larger be ordered through me for quality purposes. This is why I won't be offering 4x6 prints any longer, these can be ordered off of disks. 

I hope this all makes sense! 

I am looking forward to 2016 and all the people to I get to work with and meet! So many exciting adventures to be had!! 

Since I don't have a particular photo to go with this post, I will leave you with a photo of my last wedding that I just finished editing :-) 

~C~ Girls a day on the farm {Southern Minnesota Children's Photographer}

I had the pleasure to work with these young ladies again this year. E got a horse and her mom wanted photos with her. We had some fun with that spunky mare! I love horses and I think that helps capture the love between human and animal. I enjoy this family so much!

It was windy and Hope was sassy, but E handled it well. 

Oh A was a stinker yet again, but she warmed up to me and gave me some super cute smiles!

This tractor is her great great grandfathers. Such a cool thing to have part of her history!

She loves her big sister ♥

Thank you C family! Look forward to working with you again!!
