Adorable with a captial A! {Lino Lakes Baby Photographer}

Baby Laura is 6 months and she is just as beautiful as day 1!  She is getting so big too, I just enjoyed seeing her again!

I love this shot, so beautiful!

This happy baby is so sweet, how can you not love that smile?

Don't ya love that awesome vest?

For some reason, this shot just melts my heart.  It is a great reminder that she's still so small!

Well hello there punkin!  Love the colors!

Laura, I will see you sweet girl in 3 months!

Itty Bitty {Lino Lakes MN Newborn Photographer}

Little Madelyn was 2 weeks old when she visited me today. She was so sweet and so quiet, although sleeping quickly became a challenge for her when I kept moving her, changing her and whatnot. But, we got some great shots anyway and it was a joy to hold an itty bitty again!

Oh so sleepy...

Finally asleep but she didn't want to give up the nuky! 

Madelyn was such a perfect angel, almost never making a peep.  It was so fun meeting this new little beauty!

Housekeeping {Minnesota Family Photographer}

Happy Sunday!  I hope everyone is enjoying a relaxing day.  I have been reworking some of my packages for some variety for my wonderful clients and all you potential clients out there.

As you can see, I added in a mini-session that will be available all of the time.

Mini-session- $350
Includes a 30 minute session for up to 4 people either on-location or in my studio.  You will receive 10-12 edited proofs on a disc for you to keep, as well as a copyright and printing release signed by me.  You will receive 2 5x7's, 1 8x10 and an 11x14 print of your choice from your session.

I also tweaked my Newborn to Age One package to offer all the digital files from each session, unfortunately I had to increase the package price a bit as I found I literally made nothing after all the time I put into doing 5 sessions throughout the year.  I hope you all can understand.



Newborn to Age One Package- $1300
Includes 5 sessions: newborn, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 1 year .  This package includes a disc of the digital negatives from each session and 5 complimentary 5x7's of your choice. You will receive a complimentary 10x20 storyboard featuring a photo from each session.   Enjoy 20% off your wall portrait order through Michelle Sauer Photography. 

I then added in a Mini-Newborn to Age One Package for those who don't necessarily want all 5 sessions.  I included the 3 key sessions in a baby's first year.

Mini-Newborn to Age One Package- $800
Includes 3 sessions: newborn, 6 months and 1 year.  This package includes a disc of the digital negatives from each session and 5 complimentary 5x7's of your choice.  Enjoy 20% off your wall portrait order through Michelle Sauer Photography.

I think most of you will be able to find something here that will suit your needs.  I am also offering sessions in my studio which has been proving to be a great option for young children.  I have a ton of fun props and a great setup.  The session fee will be the same for coming to my studio as I have never charged mileage and the time I spend on your session remains the same.  I hope that you can all understand my reasoning behind this. 

Thanks for taking a moment and reading about all the new packages offered.  I hope I will see you soon!  I am always excited to see returning faces and am ecstatic when I get to meet new clients!  Spread the word, that's how my business thrives through word of mouth and it's appreciated more than you could ever know!

Nolan {Maple Grove MN Child Photographer}

Today I had the pleasure of meeting sweet Nolan for his big 1 year old boy pictures! Nolan was very unsure of me at first, but we had a fun time and got some really fun shots to boot! Happy Birthday Nolan!

Ooooh, who doesn't love balloons?  

Checking out his handsome self in the mirror!

Baby in a drawer!  Hey, it kept him still for a minute!

Smooshy baby cheeks!

And the super fun cake smash!  I love these sessions, too much fun for all!

Cake, Mickey Mouse and a 1 Year old! {Lino Lakes MN Child Photographer}

Can you even believe that Cole is almost 1?  I can't.  It seems like just yesterday I was out photographing him as a newborn.  I've been very fortunate to follow Cole through his first year of life, he's such a sweet and happy BIG boy!  Happy First Birthday Cole!

And, what 1 year old session is complete without a cake smash?

One year old's do not want to sit still.  Luckily I'm fast and can snap quickly!

And, if all else fails, stick the little guy in something that it will be hard to get out of!

Cole LOVES Mickey!  So cute.

He he.  Love it.

A-Dorable with a Capital A! {Lino Lakes, MN Child Photographer}

Last weekend I had a session scheduled with an adorable little 3 month old and her incredibly handsome 3 year old big brother.  I was so excited to use all the fun girly things I had but little miss was not having it.  I think she had a tummy ache and we got a lot of this:

Yes, cute as can be but not the smiles we had hoped for.  So we tried again yesterday and things went much better!  She was so sweet and did fabulous!

 

Big brother was all about it too.  Seriously, isn't he just cute as can be?

LOVE this one! 

Ahh, together.

Smiles!

And I just love this one, her little tootsies trying to get out!  So adorable!

I'm so glad we got a second chance at this session, I had fun with the little lady and was happy to see she got over her tummy troubles!
