Reed Family | Photography in Minnesota

Meet the Reed Family! Mom, Lindsay, was the winner of my Valentine's Contest in February and she was cashing in on her prize! I went out to their home for a session with 2 incredibly adorable kids!

Brady is 2 and Rylinn is 4. Seriously, I just adore their cheeks!



Brady LOVES sports. He was so awesome at basketball too. He would say "dibble dibble dibble" then he'd shoot and if he didn't make it he would say "almost". Seriously, I got such a kick out of him!





And Rylinn is all girl. She loves playing with her dolls and dressing up. We had fun playing and she could spell all sorts of things for me! Smart little lady!





I love this hat!







Beautiful!



And of course last but not least, a shot of the two watching Wow, Wow Wubzy! A favorite show amongst the preschool crowd!



It was so great to finally meet you Lindsay and your adorable babes. I had a blast with them!

Business stuff...

From the beginning, I've always hoped to be an affordable photographer. A photographer that appeals to the masses. While I think that I am affordable, I believe that I need to restructure my pricing in order to a.) stay competitive and moreso b.) to stay in business!

I've slowly come to realize that my Lifetime Package is by far the most popular package. And while I love being able to sell the digital negatives to all of you, I feel that my integrity can get lost in this package. My livelihood relies on the quality of the prints hanging on your wall. While certain big box stores have decent prints at a 4x6 or 5x7 size, they in no way can compare to the product I can offer you and be proud of it hanging on your wall.

I will continue to offer you the option to purchase digital negatives and you will see that the cost has increased. I will only offer you the option to purchase these negatives up to an 8x10 size for quality purposes. With each digital negative you purchase, you will get a complimentary 5x7 print so that you can compare the quality and have a baseline for what your pictures should look like.

As for the cost increase across the board, it was something that has been a long time coming. I am limited in the amount of sessions I can book. I feel very strongly that to provide the best experience for each client and to maintain a family life here at home, I need to limit my sessions to 2 per week (max of 3) and 1 wedding per month. I feel it's only fair to you and fair to my family. I feel that my price increase is incredibly fair and still moderate compared to other photographers in the Twin Cities.

I appreciate your continued business and would like to extend this offer to all of you:

If you would like to secure a session with me at my former rates, please contact me before March 31st. I will continue to honor my former rates until the end of March. All sessions must be scheduled before May 15th to receive the former rate. You can email me directly at msauerphotography@gmail.com to get on my calendar. My days are filling up so don't wait!

I would also like to point you to this site regarding custom photography. My number one goal is to tell your story, capture that moment in time and create a timeless photograph for your wall. Only a custom photography session can do that for you.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

Cole | Photographer in Minnesota

Don't ya just love squishy baby face?

Wide awake!

Cutest little baby face | Twin Cities MN Photographer

Silas is one of my birth to a year kiddos and with every session I say, "this kid couldn't get cuter", but lo and behold, he does! He is such a sweet and happy boy. I absolutely adore him. I even got a chance to get in a little snuggle with him yesterday and let me tell ya, I got a tiny bit of baby fever! Without further adieu, Silas:




This boy is so loved and it is so apparent with each session we do.

They have an awesome family dynamic. They are fun, energetic and oh so happy! I just love this shot, perfectly imperfect! Really what was happening here was Silas was doing a face dive and Jess thought it was hilarious! I just love it!

Mom, get this thing off of me! Sometimes we have to sacrifice comfort for the sake of a cute picture!

Look at his little tongue sticking out!

Baby yumminess!

And baby sweetness!

And last, but sooooo not least, baby chubbiness! LOVE!


Silas, you have grown into an adorable and sweet boy! I can't wait to see you when you turn 1!

Oh My Words | Minnesota Photographer

I have photographed this little doll since she was in the belly. There was no way I could have ever known at that point just how stinkin' adorable she could actually be. I've seen her on her birthday, a week old, 3 months old, 6 months old, and now she's 9 months old! Where on earth does time go? Soon we'll be doing cake smashing photos and she'll be celebrating her first year with us!

Little Lucy is 9 months old and ADORABLE as ever!






And of course, big bro Harrison had to get in on the photo action!



I've known both Molly and Ryan since our early days and I can't believe how much Harrison is looking like dad! It blows me away.



Have I mentioned that I love this little lady? She is the smiliest, happiest baby I've ever met.





Who doesn't love chubby baby legs?



YUM!



It was so great to see the fam again, it doesn't happen enough. I love watching these kids grow, they change so quickly and to be able to document their milestones through pictures is truly an honor. I love my job!

Wyatt | Bloomington MN Baby Photographer

Yesterday I got to meet an incredibly sweet little 3 month old baby boy. He had such curious eyes and a calm nature about him. I truly enjoy these baby sessions, with 3 toddlers/preschoolers at home, it's nice to visit with a baby once in a while!

Meet Wyatt!



Big smiles!



Wyatt didn't like the basket. Even with the mention of the basket he got mad! Look at that pouty lip!



Dad and Wyatt, I just love these shots!





Quite possibly my favorite of the day!



Wyatt has an incredibly loving family. I enjoyed watching them interact with him.



Plus, can't you just see the joy and happiness between them?







And of course, baby feet! No baby is safe from me when it comes to their feet!





Thank you so much for having me out to photograph Wyatt. He was such a sweet baby to hang out with! I can't wait until he is 6 months old!
