OH.MY.WORDS... | Minnesota Child and Pageant Photographer

Check out this absolutely gorgeous little sweetie! This morning I headed out to this little beauty queen's home to capture some shots for her upcoming pageant. We had a ton of outfits to work with and a beautiful backdrop too. It of course helped that Angelina is absolutely stunning and I'll think she'll kick some major butt this weekend with that red hair and those mesmerizing eyes! Good luck Angelina!

This is my favorite. She looks amazing here!


What a spunky little thing.
Mom had this idea about putting on this huge snowsuit and I just love how it turned out. It's so cute and unique.

The classic 50's shot. She is so sweet!


Thanks Angelina for being such an awesome sport, you are truly a unique little beauty!

March Greeblemix Contest!

The theme this month is LUCKY, meaning a great picture you got by pure accident. I am having a really hard time choosing. My recent favorite picture is the one of Bennett saying "bubba", you can find that one here. But since I entered that one in another contest, I think I'm going with this one:

Which also happens to be the blog banner. Why is this my lucky shot you may ask? Well, when I snapped this picture on our vacation in Florida, I could tell that right out of the camera it was a keeper. It wasn't until I uploaded it was it truly evident that I got LUCKY! Enlarge the picture and check out Ms. Bianca's eyes. You will then see why I was lucky. This is one of my most favorite shots I've ever taken of one of my kids. I hope you all like it too!

Molly | St. Paul Minnesota Maternity Photographer

Molly is only the cutest pregnant woman I've ever seen. Molly is pregnant with baby #2, I photographed Harrison earlier this year and he is also one of the cutest little 2 year olds out there! Mol is expecting a baby girl in May and I couldn't be more excited to meet her. Check out her cute baby belly!

Owen and Will | Lino Lakes Minnesota Child and Family Photographer

Check out these handsome boys! Owen and Will are twin almost 2 year olds. They are the cutest little things!

Check out this Gerber baby!
Dad and Will!

Owen, he sure loved those phones!
What a beautiful family!

I love this one, not sure which version I like more though!


Thanks guys for the awesome session today!

Mother's Day Spectacular!

May 10th is Mother's Day. That's about 2 months away! With Mother's Day comes spring as well! The smell of tulips and daffodils and fresh cut grass are just around the corner (wishful thinking!).

Beginning March 15th, I will be holding Mother's Day mini-sessions. Sessions will take place on every Sunday starting March 15th to April 19th. These sessions will consist of 1 hour of my time at the location of your choice. You will receive the Lifetime Package plus a complimentary storyboard ($65 value) for $215. That's $45 off of my package price. Additional storyboards are available for a discounted price of $50 with this session

I will only be scheduling 2 sessions per day to allow for for ample time with each family. You can schedule a session in multiple ways.

1. Call me. I love phone calls, just ask my husband (he pays my phone bill). 612.770.9175
2. Email me. Another excellent way to communicate. msauerphotography@gmail.com
3. Go here and fill out the contact form.

You are probably thinking that indoor photos are so restrictive and you'd rather wait until spring or summer when the scenery is abundantly green, right? Check out these pictures:





All taken inside. I'm a firm believer that surroundings don't make the picture. The subject is the most important part of a photo. I've also got tons more on my website: www.michellesauer.com.

If you are a husband, a father, a grandmother, a mother, or even a mother in waiting, contact me today to schedule your session. It's the perfect gift for that amazing mother in your life.

Vacation!

My family and I just returned from a nice long vacation in Florida. We spent most of our days near the Gulf in Reddington Shores, but did spend a couple of days in Orlando. I took a ton of pictures, but here are some of my favorites!

Little baby toes and big daddy hands.
Annika and her shadow.
Bennett and daddy enjoying the sunset.
Bianca with sand on her nose.
My poor baby boy, he was just miserable. He spent 4 to 5 days with a fever and a cough. Poor kiddo.


Me in my husband's eyes.
Annika splashing around in the pool!
Enlarge the picture, tell me what you see in Bianca's eyes? This is not an optical illusion, it's a true reflection.
Annika being a "hawaii" girl.
I love little sandy toes.
Bennett, taking it all in.
Gorgeous red curls, anyone jealous yet? I am!
Bennett's first taste of sand!
