October Special | MN Photographer

October is the beginning of a new era for Michelle Sauer Photography. I've decided that throughout the winter months I am going to release a special offer on the first of each month.

Now, October is a special month for me for 2 reasons. First being it's my birthday month and I turn 30 this year. Second being that this was the month I started Michelle Sauer Photography. One year ago I dove into a business and never looked back. It was one of the best choices I've ever made, next to marrying my husband and having my babies!

So, in honor of all things awesome, I am going to offer a special you can't pass up. I know fall is the time when people want to get their photos done. The fall colors are a beautiful backdrop and people are feeling the holiday rush for cards and gifts. And, since my Facebook special was such a major success, I've decided to repeat that for the month of October.

Basically you get the session for $50 when you purchase the Lifetime Package (the disc). On top of that, you get an 11x14, 8x10 and 2 5x7's of your choice. So, your total is $210, saving you $108!

All sessions must be booked between Oct. 1st and Oct. 31st and completed by Nov. 30th. A $50 deposit is required to secure your date. Contact me today to schedule your session. October is filling up very quickly and I have limited space left for the month!

Isn't fall grande? T Family | Cannon Falls MN Family Photographer

Yesterday truly felt like fall, and while it was a bit windier than I would like, it felt great. What's even better, I had my first "fall like" shoot with a wonderful family on their farm. How fun!?!?

First let's meet Baby L! He's an adorable little 4 1/2 month old baby with the best cheeks and pouty bottom lip! What's not to love?
From T Family

The beautiful family in front of their big red barn! The colors are amazing out there!



Baby L's cousins showed up for a bit to get some shots for the family. Check out their Jon Deere Sweaters. Aren't they awesome?



Baby L's cousin who prefers to be addressed as Joe Mauer. This guy was a goofy 3 year old with a beautiful smile!

Other cuz Mr. C. His eyes are so amazingly dreamy. Isn't he just a doll?


Another shot of the beautiful family in front of the corn fields.

And one of my favorites of Baby L. I just love that blanket, what a generous gift if you ask me!

From T Family
Thank you so much for having me out on your farm. I enjoyed meeting Baby L, he was such a sweet boy!

McManus Family | Minneapolis MN Family Photographer

Meet Georgia. She's 3. I've "shot" Georgia on several occasions and with each new occasion she becomes more elusive. So, we have to resort to placing her in the middle of a huge bridge to make her smile! Just kidding, isn't she cute?

The lovely family!
Dad clearly adores sweet Georgia! I love it.

And, baby Matt! I shot Matt's newborn photos. Aren't his eyes to die for?



This boy is well on his way to walking, very soon!




And quite possibly my favorite of the day. Beautiful moment!

Little Miss H | Minneapolis Child Photographer

This morning I had the awesome pleasure of photographing an amazingly beautiful family. Tatiana (mom) is a friend from my college days at St. Olaf and she and her husband gave birth to their first daughter 4 months ago. I was so excited to finally meet Miss H and photograph her.

When I upload pictures from a session, there are usually a few pictures that really stand out to me that I absolutely LOVE. And eventually, one usually becomes my favorite. Not so much this time. I absolutely adore every single shot in this post, it's so hard to choose my favorite because they all are!

Without further adieu, meet 4 month old gorgeous Miss H! Seriously, her eyes are amazing!

From Harper


Tatiana with baby girl. I love this shot, Miss H in focus with mom looking lovingly upon her.

And Miss H with her proud and loving daddy.

Love that bow!

Beautiful.

I love the squishiness of her face here.

And if I had to choose, these family shots might be my favorites. I love Miss H's expression here as she's watching daddy play.


From Harper


And I love how Tatiana is looking at Brian here. You can really feel the love in this shot.

From Harper

I told you they were an amazingly beautiful family. I truly feel like the luckiest person when I get to get a small glimpse into a family's life, especially such a loving one!

Hope for Sight Benefit

The benefit to being a business owner is that I get the opportunity to give back and lend a helping hand. So when a friend informed me that a benefit would be held in her son's honor, I jumped on the chance to donate my services. Baby Jake was born with a genetic eye disorder called Familial Exudative Vitreoretinopaty, aka "FEVR". With this diagnosis it was discovered that Jake only has light sight and minimal peripheral vision. It is unclear as to what Baby Jake's future will be like as far as his sight but we do know that there will be many more surgeries, physical therapy and income loss due to FEVR. This benefit is to help relieve some of the financial stress for Mom Kim and Dad Brent. So please, head on over here to my sister in law's blog where you can read all about the benefit. Or you can head over to the benefit website for more information and pictures of the little guy. It is taking place this Friday evening and it will include a silent auction at which you can bid on your very own Michelle Sauer Photography Session. All proceeds go to Baby Jake and his hope for sight. We hope to see you there!

3 months old! | MN Child Photographer

One of my favorite things about this job is I get to watch the cutest little kiddos grow through pictures. I had the pleasure of photographing this guy's mom during her pregnancy and I got to meet him just days after his birth. What an awesome job I have, because he is now a big 3 months old! This little guy has got the most awesome baby rolls ever and the dreamiest dark brown eyes. Check him out!

This is my favorite shot of the day!
