Gorgeous Family and the Golden Hour {White Bear Lake MN Family Photographer}

Ahhh, 2 of my favorite things, beautiful families and the golden hour. Last night was no exception! It was a perfect evening for photos and Renee and her beautiful family looked fabulous!

I met up with this beautiful family at St. Anthony Main on Sunday. What a most perfect fall day, some of the trees had changed, the sun was shining and the air was crisp. I love Fall!

If you can even believe it, my nephew is turning 1 soon! I am floored at how quickly this year has gone. He has been such a joy to have in our family. He's part sweetheart and part stinker, but we wouldn't have it any other way. I love you Channy Manny!

My beautiful friend {MSP Minneapolis Maternity Photographer}

This weekend I went away for a girl's trip with my college girlies. My dear friend Kristin is about 31 weeks pregnant and asked me to snap a few sunset/sillouette pictures of her adorable baby belly. Of course I couldn't resist. Here are a few, isn't she the cutest preggo ever? I think so!

The fading of the sun... {Lino Lakes Child Photographer}

Last night I mustered up a whole bunch of patience to take my own kiddos pictures.   Every so often I get the itch to capture a few beautiful shots of them to hang on our walls.  Not only did I fight a little bit with them, I also had to fight with the setting sun.  These days the sun is setting earlier and faster it seems, but I managed to capture those hazy summer days pictures I so long for in the dark winter months.  

I love this shot, my two beautiful girls with their stud of a brother.  His face cracks me up here.

This was their idea.

1 times 2! {minneapolis baby and child photographer}

Yesterday I spent some time with some of the cutest little twinsies around, Avery and Finnigan. Avery and Finnigan are turning 1 next week and we had to celebrate with a photoshoot, complete with a cake smash! Check out Avery's face here, priceless!

Harper was checking out the fountain and the sun was just incredible. I adore these shots, they are just beautiful. The way the sun bounces off her beautiful curls.
