Frank {Minneapolis Baby Photographer}

Frank is 6 months and boy oh boy is he the happiest baby I've ever met. Seriously, smiley as can be. There is just something about toothless baby smiles that could cure even the worst of days. Thanks for the fun Frank!

I told ya!

Beautiful mama and her sweet boy.

Brothers!

Look at those baby blues!

Num, num.

Hello there!

Sweet baby parts.  Love em!

Sweet Ryan {Minneapolis, MN Baby Photographer}

Last time I saw sweet Ryan he was just an itty bitty. He had a full head of hair then and he sure didn't disappoint this time either! He was all smiles and so darn adorable!

Awww, how sweet!

LOVE this shot!  Look at those eyes!

Big brother Avery had to get in on the action too.  He's a vibrant and energetic little guy.  He was enamored with my camera.  Looks like we've got a budding photog on our hands!

What I've been up! {Minnesota Child and Family Photographer}

A lot of photographers complain that January and February are slow months for them.  And, for the most part, they truly are.  But holy cow, I have been booked solid all of January and through February!  It's been amazing and I feel truly lucky for these amazing clients.  Being that I've been booked solid with sessions, family birthdays, our new homeschool adventure and oh so much more, I've been slacking big time on the previews.  So today is the day. 

First up, Gavin.  He turned 18 months old and sadly our year together has come to an end.  These sessions are always bittersweet.  It makes me happy to watch them grow into little people, but it's hard to say goodbye.  He's turned into such a handsome little fella.

Whitney turns 1 {Forest Lake Minnesota Child Photographer}

What a fantastic session this turned out to be. The whole family was present, the kids were looking adorable and we had cause to celebrate: Whitney just turned 1! We even ventured outdoors for some pictures and boy, am I glad we did. The sun was gorgeous in the early evening sky, making this family look even more amazing than they are!

Whitney, the birthday girl.  She was born on 1.11.11!  Awesome, huh?

This dress was her mom's at her age.  I adore it.  I just love vintage yumminess.

How precious is this?  Her big bro is holding onto her foot.  LOVE!

And now she's eating it.  He he.

Big bro Grant is always up for some posing!

And Kevin even gave me a smile or two as well!  These boys are handsome!

I love this picture, the light, the subjects, the emotion.  Stunning.

Whitney is daddy's little girl, what a precious photo.

And the purdy family of 5!

And last but not least, the birthday girl in an adorable outfit in some amazing light!

Family {Lino Lakes MN Family Photographer}

I normally don't shoot full extended families, but when my neighbor April asked if I would do a session while her family was in town for Christmas, I could hardly turn it down, especially since they are such a loving family. It turned out to be an incredibly beautiful December day here in MN so we ventured outdoors. The sun was shining and it was the perfect morning for a session.

April and her sweet family.

Adorable Elliot.

The whole gang!  3 generations.

Grandma and Grandpa with the grandkiddos.

Uncle and cousins!  Such handsome men!

Sebastian, he's adorable.

Robbie, what a great kid.

Grandma and Grandpa, I just love this shot.  So loving and sweet.  

Cousins. They were getting a bit cold at this point.

And another of the whole clan!
