I got to meet baby Luca when he was 9 days old! He was so stinkin cute (no surprise after seeing mom and dad)!!!! I did maternity pictures for his mom a month and a half ago and was thrilled to get to go back to take newborn photos of their beautiful baby boy. Luca was such a great little baby model……he was specific about what he would and would not do, but I think we got some fantastic images! I hope you love them Cassie and Dominic, and congratulations on your beautiful little Luca!






Sweet Baby Luca!
Little Josh
I had the opportunity to meet little Josh a bit earlier than expected! He was born at 32 weeks gestation but was doing so great he went home from the hospital after only 3 weeks! Mom and Dad say he’s doing great and he’s just as cute as can be! He slept most of the session, but it was amazing to see how he could sense when his Mom was close by. She was talking to him when he was sleeping and he looked so peaceful…it was obvious even while he was sleeping he knew she was there! Thank you so much for allowing me to come and take pictures of your sweet little boy Tracy and Jeremy! I hope you love your preview!





Jonah
I had the pleasure of meeting the Wilson family. Jonah is almost 3 years old and so so sweet! He was all smiles and had so much fun exploring the arboretum and all it had to offer! Sarah and Mike are expecting another baby this fall and I am really looking forward to maternity pictures hopefully with all the beautiful leaves changing and newborn pictures when their bundle of joy arrives! Sarah’s younger brother Cully came along and it’s obvious how much little Jonah loves his uncle! I had a great time with you guys and I can’t wait to see you again in a month or two for maternity pictures! Look at this beautiful family!!!!

Jonah had a blast catching bubbles with Mom……..
and his dad!


Baby Mattea
I had so much fun getting to take pictures of little Mattea! Her daddy Nathan is a friend of mine from high school so it was wonderful getting to catch up with him and meet his beautiful wife Brit! We had a blast during the photo shoot and Mattea was showing off how she could sit up all by herself at barely 5 months old! Thank you so much Nathan and Brit for coming to the studio! I had a wonderful time and I hope you love your photos!





It is obvious to see how much this little girl is loved!!!!

Beautiful Chaska Senior!
Meet Kyla…..She’s gorgeous and so sweet! I’ve known Kyla’s family since before she was born. I remember her as a little girl with her cute little Shirley Temple curls. She is so grown up now and is such a beauty! We spent the day together taking some pictures, and although it was SO HOT, we had a wonderful time! Thank you Kyla for letting me take your pictures. It was so much fun! I hope you love them!





Waiting for baby!
Sara and Steve are expecting their first baby, a little girl, in about a month! She toughed it out in the 90 degree weather for some outside pictures at a beautiful park in our neck of the woods. I went to high school with Sara and it was so great getting to see her again and meet her husband Steve. They were both so laid back and willing to do anything I was up for! It’s always a treat to work with clients like them
Sara, you look amazing (you too Steve)! I can’t wait to meet your beautiful little girl soon!






Baby Kaden!
This little guy is almost 6 months old and soooooooo cute! His mommy is a friend of mine from college. We had so much fun during the photo shoot, dressing up Kaden in different hats and leg warmers! I’m sure he’ll love these pictures when he’s in high school! Kaden was the best baby with lots of smiles! I think he was pretty worn out from his photo shoot because he slept for two hours afterwards! Thank you Jill for letting me take Kaden’s 6 month pictures, I had the best time!!!!
Look at these eyes! Aren’t they amazing?
I’m pretty sure his face says it all!
Daddy’s hat and shoes….so cute!


photographer photoshoot:)
I met up with some photographers that I am lucky enough to call friends. Shelley and Robin are so sweet and funny! I really enjoyed meeting up with them, and of course we all brought our cameras just for fun! Here are some photos from our time together





Beautiful girls!
I got to do a very fun last minute session for one of my friends! Ameera (4), Leah (2), and Aleese (8wks) are such gorgeous girls…..no surprise where they got their good looks once you see their mommy and daddy! Thank you so much Fakir family for being so much fun to work with! I hope you had as much fun getting photographed as I had photographing you!
Little Miss Leah!
Aleese
And Amira!




Beautiful Mama
I got to meet up with Cassie and Dominic today for some maternity photos and it was the perfect day for photos! Not too warm (at least I liked that) and a bit overcast! We went to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum and I have to say I LOVE it there! Cassie is due in about a month and looks great! They make a beautiful couple, I’m sure their baby is going to be equally stunning! I had so much fun meeting with you guys today, I can’t wait to meet your baby boy in August!
