2014 Christmas Mini Sessions {Southern Minnesota Family Photographer}

I had two days of Christmas Minis this year. I was so pleased how well people responded I am pretty sure this will be a yearly thing! The funny thing was the two days couldn't have been more different! The first weekend was mild and sunny the second winter came in with lots of puffy snow! I loved both days!!

Day 1

~C~ Family

So handsome! 

We had to work around an injury but I think we got a pretty cute family photo

So precious! 

This little man is too cute!! 

~S~ Family and pups!

Oh the shots I got of the puppies were super cute!

~H~ Family

They were good sports with the chill in the air!

~W~ Family

Love this one! 

These two were super cute!! 

Love this family!

Day 2

And then came the snow!

~K~ Family 

Perfect winter scene!!

Good thing I brought the sled!

and hot cocoa ;-) 

~L~ Family 

I like the bundled up look with the snow! 

Such a handsome young man!

~C~ is too cute!!

~S~ Family

This family holds a special place in my heart. Love them!

Yes, she is sassy ;-) 

Getting him to smile that was a challenge! :-) 

Sweetie!

 Love them!! 

 ~O~ Family 

The snow was deep but he was a good sport!

She was chilly but still gave me some great smiles! 

On of my favorite shots of the day!!

Thank you to all the families that participated this year!! Stay tuned I may even have a Mini Session in the Spring!! 

Miss~A~ Christmas FUN! {Nebraska Children's Photographer}

It was last minute, but so worth it! I forgot how mobile one year old's could be! Miss A was such a trooper and loves to share with her Mommy, it was so sweet.

 

 

 

 

Concentrating on a yummy cookie!

 

Tiny Toes

There's that smile!

 

She got pretty serious when she saw what was at the bottom of the bag...

 

Sunglasses! This one melts my heart

 

Her eyes are beautiful!

 

I loved how delicate she was with the ornaments, taking them off, putting them back on, so careful!

 

One by one....

 

 

My favorite shot of the day! The love of the Christmas tree!

 

 

I just loved my time with ~A ~ and her mom! I hope to work with them again in 2013! 

Monthly Color Challenge~ Decemeber {Nebraska Portrait Photographer}

'Tis the season! It's time for the color blog challenge. Quick recap, a group of photographers and I have been challenging ourselves each month of this year. It was a way to utilize our blogs if we had been neglecting them, or just to challenge ourselves to bust out our cameras if they hadn't been used in a little while (which was the case for me a couple of months!). This month is green and/or red or silver and/or gold.

I have two holiday themed photos. The first is of our Elf on a Shelf, Bill. My son LOVED this tradition this year. Every morning the first thing we did was search for Bill. I am excited to continue this next year!

 

I did one more mini session before Christmas and spent a little time with this little cutie! She loved the bows, and ribbon her mom brought out. I forgot how active one year olds can be! But how much fun it was!

 

So this was our last color post of the year. I hope to do something similar next year, it's great to connect to more people in the photography community and challenge myself to do different things. Please continue onto Lynn Puzzo and see what she has come up with this month. Follow the circle and leave us some love!

Merry Christmas!

 

Winter Wonderland {Nebraska Couple's Photographer}

I was asked by this lovely couple to get some photos for their Christmas cards. We had to reschedule our original date due to wind, and lucked out~ it snowed! They toughed out the cold and we got some really sweet winter photos with them and their adorable puppers!

 

 

 

 

This was my favorite shot! So cute!

 

Who needs a studio when you have a backdrop like this?!

 



I love how photogenic Yodi is!

 

 

So sweet ♥

 



 

 

I hope to capture more moments of these two, they are so sweet! Thank you for serving our country ~K~, you are MUCH appreciated!!!!
