Fashion Friday {what to wear} Minneapolis Family Photographer

Friday, June 26th, 2009

It is the time of year that I start to do a fair amount of family sessions. One of the questions I am asked most often, is what should we wear. To help with this I am going to do a thing I borrowed from another photographer, Chelsey Mach, Fashion Fridays!

This week I put together a quick assemble for a family of four!  Mom, Dad, boy aged 6-10 and daughter age 2-5.  Let me know what you think!

This is what happens when I try to take a photo of my son — it goes from Good to silly in an instant.

Beautiful Minneapolis Photographer

Spring is finally here, but in true Minnesota fashion it came late and a bit windy.   However when the wind dies down, I try to get out and stretch myself as a photographer.  I love to try macro photography with my flowers.

This is a moss rose, just before it’s ready to bloom.

Adorable! Minneapolis Children’s Photographer

Friday, June 5th, 2009

Adorable.  That is the only word to describe Miss A.   She is a feisty three year old that it totally in love with her parents.  The G family was so much fun.  Anyone who tells you that a three year old is easier to photograph then a two year old, has not meet this gal. She was happy and fun, but BUSY, which is just the way a three year old should be!

Miss A was adopted last year and they came to me via an organization I participate in, Celebration Adoption.  Photographers who are a part of this group agree to give newly adopted families a photo session for their new family member — as a way to mark such a great milestone in their lives! 

Miss A – clearly keeps her parents on their toes.  She loves anything princess and managed to go home from our session with a rock or two and a stick.  The best part of my job is meeting so many wonderful families and seeing the unique connections with in each family.  The G family was no exception. I am sorry your sneak peak is a bit late — I hope to have your gallery to you shortly!

Today I am posting an image I call solitude, because that is something I long for with the advent of summer and both kids home full time.

Life is a Highway : Minneapolis Children’s photographer

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

I am finally back from Vacation!  We took the kids to visit my family in Michigan, with a stop in the Wisconsin Dells along the way!

The trip was much less stressful then we had anticipated.  Even little K did really well in the car, for being only two and not being able to as many actvities as her brother could.  However, when we came home in the early morning hours Sunday, we discovered that our refrigorator had gone out!  Let me tell you the mess was amazing.  Some things are never meant to be seen totally thawed out, like ice-cream!

The refrigerator  fiasco has put me a couple of days behinds so if you are waiting on a client gallery, they all got delayed while I sorted out the repairs yesterday. 

In the mean time I can’t have  a post without an image. I just love the feeling of this one — from my session with Miss E.  What you don’t see is that she is looking at a bunch of kids running along the path a head of her — and  you an just tell she wants to go with them!
