My Candid Moments

This family feels like a little part of my own.  I have been photographing these lovely ladies since the little one was TWO, yes TWO.  I have watched her turn from a typical two year old into a lovely little girl who is starting Kindergarten next week.

I think that first image will be Mom’s reaction that I finally got her sneak peak up! 

I know things were a bit choatic around here this week, as my new computer did not work (go figure will only happen to me).  My new best friend spent a week at Best Buy — and they could not make him functioning — so finally yesterday we got a new computer!!!! 

I think the best part of my job is the people I get to meet.  There has not been a family yet that I have not totally enjoyed getting to know and spend time with every family I photograph.  They each have their own dynamic and that helps make each session totally different from the last one.

This family was up for just about anything, even in the heat and humidity that we had the evening of their session .   That has made editing their session particularly fun on this rainy Saturday afternoon.  I think this family was even more fun, becaus their daughter was a darling red head, and we all know I am partial to red heads having two of them myself!

A family I hope you like your sneak peak your gallery is coming along!

I was so excited on Sunday evening to meet one of my favorite clients at one f my favorite places, the Minnesota Arboretum.

The night was beatuiful.  The air was cool but not cold and NO BUGS.  In Minnesota when you can do an entire session without a single mosquito biting you life is good.  Miss M and her parents are always up for just about anything and that makes our sessions fun. 

I have been photographing Miss M since she was just a few months old, and this was my favorite session by far.  She’s turning into such a little lady and while I know she can be a handful, she was totaly delightful for me Sunday.

 I hope you enjoy your sneak peaks~

As fall and the time for holiday cards approaches, I often get asked what should a larger group wear to look put together, and not wear white or black shirts.

There are so many color combinations you can do, but this one uses the cranberry/mulberry/teal colors that are everywhere right now.  The best part is that they colors and combination would make for a very festive holiday card. 

Today I am offering a $100 print credit to the first family that shows up for their session in this color combination!
