Custom Work {Minnesota Portrait Photographer}

Have you seen my recent custom work?  I have been spending time designing new baby announcements, assorted invitations, storyboards and collages.  Check out a few of my designs here.

My designs are available for purchase either digitally or in print packages.  I also offer templates for photographers.  

I'll leave you with this one, a new fave of mine :)

Baby Ryan Redeux {Lino Lakes Newborn Photographer}

Since sweet Ryan was not in the mood for sleeping last week, him and mom came up to the studio today to get some more sleepy baby shots.  He fought the sleep again today, but we came out winners and finally got him to sleep.  YAY for us!  

How Quickly They Grow {Chisago City Child Photographer}

I feel like it was just yesterday that sweet little Charlie was born and all of a sudden he is 3 months old! This little guy is the most perfect baby there ever was.  He's always happy, never cries and is just a darling little boy.  He's a doll to have around, luckily he belongs to my longtime friend Molly and I get to see him often.  I just love him like he's my own :)

Big brother Harrison is 4 1/2 now.

And funny little Lucy, she's so cute and such a little pixie.  Lucy is 2 years old now.

Beautiful Molly and sweet Charlie.  I caught some major flare on this one!  The sun was so perfect!

Ahhh, so sweet!

Puppy Dog Tails... {Minneapolis Newborn Photographer}

What are little boys made of?

Frogs and Snails and Puppy Dog tails.

That's what little boys are made of.

Sweet little Ryan was far from this old nursery rhyme, he was sweet and quiet and curious.  In fact, that old nursery rhyme should be erased from the history books because any mama of a little boy knows just how sweet and loving he truly is :)

Meet sweet Ryan.

Ryan with big brother Avery.  What adorable little boys, right?

Ahhh, melt my heart!

And the beautiful new family of four!

So pretty.

 Dad and his new boy.  So perfect.

Ryan is causing hair envy for every other baldy out there.  Look at that!

 Sweet little man.

{Don't mind the variety of logos, I'm testing out these new designs.  Which do you like?}

My own :) {Minneapolis Child and Family Photographer}

My "baby" turned 6 last week. That number baffles me because it really doesn't seem all that long ago that she was chubby, almost bald and oh so new. Now she is a walking, talking, skinny legged, freckled face girl with a full head of red hair.

She's funny, smart and loving and I'm a very proud mama. She's off to first grade in just a few short weeks and it leaves me wondering where the heck the time went? Why does it have to go so fast? It's a question parents have been asking for thousands of years yet it continues to happen and it truly is bittersweet.

So enough babbling and here's a little sneak peak of our session.

Of course, I had to snap some pics of the other two as well.

Bianca is 4 1/2 (my girls are 18 months apart to the day). 

And Bennett, he's almost 3 1/2!  My baby boy:

And last but certainly not least, a picture of the 3.  This is a painful shot to get if you have more than one kid, LOL!  

Annika, thanks for making me a mama 6 years ago, you have made me so proud and I love you oh so much!

Little Girls {Twin Cities MN Baby Photographer}

We are on an Annie kick here in the Sauer household and while Mrs. Hannigan may despise little girls, I sure do love all things girly.  Little boys are lovely and fun too, but girls are just so much fun with all their outfit changes and little bows.  Little Whitney is 6 months now and she is just as cute as can be!

Baby booty!  Nothin' better than a cute little butt!

 3 kids 3 and under!  Sounds all too familiar.  

 The cute little family!
