Tom and Jessica get Hitched | MN Wedding Photographer

This weekend I had the pleasure of photographing an amazing unique union between 2 incredibly wonderful people. I headed up to the northwoods of MN Friday afternoon and when people talk about God's Country they must be talking about northern MN. It's just a beautiful place we can all call home!

I met up with Jessica in the late morning to photograph their beautiful day. She was so incredibly relaxed, she even did her own hair and makeup! She looked absolutely stunning and made a very beautiful bride!













Tom was equally handsome (and relaxed!).





I really love all the little details that make up a wedding day. From the rings to the centerpieces, everything that went into the day made Tom and Jessica's day one of a kind.

















We spent a little time outdoors and I got to photograph the wonderful couple. They are so much in love, it's a fun thing to watch.



















And then there was the ceremony. It was a loving and light-hearted event complete with good friends speaking to the couple, Tom's dad serenading us and a wonderful "ring warming" ceremony". Oh, and we can't forget the " I do's"!













Then they spent the rest of the evening celebrating with music, food, drinks and close friends and family!

















It was a beautiful day and I feel incredibly honored to have been a part of it!

Now Seeking 2011 Senior Reps! | Minnesota Portrait Photographer

Do you want amazing photos taken of you to represent who you are? Do you want senior pictures that are beautiful, timeless and not your average cookie cutter pictures to remember your time as a senior? Then look no further! Apply today to become an official MSP Senior Representative!





What is a Senior Rep?


A senior representative is basically a spokesperson for Michelle Sauer Photography. You get fabulous pictures taken for your senior year and then you go to your friends and tell them how much you love them! Sounds easy, right? Well it is!

I am offering a select few Seniors from the northern suburbs the opportunity to get their senior portraits done at an amazing price if you sign up to be my Senior Rep.

This is not a job that requires a huge amount of work on your part, but you must be willing to show off your photos and let your classmates know about my work. There are rewards for both you and them with each student that books a session with me.

So what is required of a Senior Rep?

-You must be graduating in 2011
-You must be willing to show off your photos to your classmates, and tell them about me.
-You must sign a contract to be a spokesperson for
Michelle Sauer Photography, and not to have your photos taken elsewhere.
-You must use a watermarked image from your session for
your profile picture on Facebook or MySpace through October of your Senior Year.
-A $30 deposit is required at the time of signing the contract to hold you place.
An additional $70 is due at the time of your session.

So, what do you get for being my rep?

-You get a full session with as many outfit changes as you'd like and up to 2 locations!
-20% your print order within the first 7 days of your gallery going live!
-10 web-sized watermarked images for you to use to promote MSP online (FB, Myspace, etc.). These are not suitable for printing and watermark must be clearly visible.
-100 Rep Cards with your pictures and my information to pass out to friends.
-Two 3x3 mini-accordian albums to show your friends and family.

This is an incredible value for senior portraits, plus you have the ability to earn so much more with each referral you bring in!

What can you earn?
3 referrals: $25 gift card for you and a $25 print credit for mom and dad!
5 referrals: $40 gift card and $35 print credit for mom and dad!
10 referrals: $100 gift card and $50 print credit for mom and dad!
15 referrals: $100 gift card and a 16x20 wall print with the picture of your choice!

I will have a variety of gift cards to choose from including, but not limited to: Amazon, iTunes, Gap, Old Navy, Starbucks and Visa.

How do you become a senior rep?

Email me directly at msauerphotography@gmail.com and I will send you the application. Senior Reps should be active in school activities and be an outgoing person. I will be selecting 2 boys and 2 girls from each school district to represent MSP so contact me ASAP to be considered as a 2011 senior rep!

Babies, babies, babies... | MN Baby Photographer

Remember this little guy? Well, I got to see him again because he is now a big boy at 6 months old! He was such a smiley and happy guy last time and he performed just as well this time around too! He is so much fun to photograph with his milky baby skin and sparkly eyes!



I simply love toothless baby smiles. They make me happy!



He did not like this but it's cute anyway! Dad is a firefighter so we got to sneak over to the garage and hang with the trucks! What a lucky little fella!



And check out this beautiful family on a vintage firetruck! How cool!





Could he get any cuter?



Such a beautiful baby boy. His eyes are stunning!



Ah, baby butt in a bowl! I warned mom and dad that he would pee and that it would be ok. The second we put him in, sure enough, he tinkled! Baby boys, so predictable!





Thank you B family, it was wonderful to see you all again and I look forward to our next session!
