Lane & Audree Spring Photo Session

Posted in: Child Portraits, Newborn Photography

There are days when I realize that I am in the right profession, today was one of those days. Stephanie brought her kiddos down from Byron for a photo session. Little Audree needed 6 month photos taken, and Lane needed his three year pictures. Lane was a wonderful, typical three-year-old and we played all around the studio. I love letting little one’s just play until their comfortable because that’s when the real smiles come out.

Audree is in one of the gorgeous baby phases. What a beautiful, healthy baby girl. I just love her to bits! I am particularly fond of these two images. I think they really capture her personality. So sweet!

Tyler’s Senior Photos
{St Charles MN Class of 2012}

Posted in: Child Portraits, Senior Photos

It was a real treat last week to get to meet Tyler. He came down from St. Charles to have some senior photos taken and I was able to take some of my first outdoor photos of the season. I love having my camera in hand when I am outside! It was also a lot of fun to meet Tyler’s dog Piper! What a beautiful animal. Here are a few of my favorites.

What a tremendous treat to get to photograph baby Stella yesterday. The first newborn in my new studio! She was so snuggly and warm that I just couldn’t stop take pictures of her. Here are a few of my very favorites. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them!

Chuck & Debbie’s Holiday Family Photos

Posted in: Child Portraits, Family Portraits

I had the pleasure late last week of photographing the Jeffers family. I have known this crew forever so it was great to get to spend time with them and their families during this session. We were able to get tons of great shots of each of the individual families and the larger family as a whole. This was also a big day for my studio as I was able to use the new studio space for the first time! It was a blast and I can’t wait to get more settled in this new space. More on that in a future post, but indoor sessions are now available. Here are a few of my favorites from my time with their family. . . and what a beautiful family it is!

I think this last one might be my favorite from the day. The big brothers sure do love little Eli! So sweet.

Thanksgiving Family Reunion
at Cedar Valley Resort

Posted in: Cedar Valley Resort, Child Portraits, Family Portraits, Family reunion

Located just 5 minutes from Lanesboro, Minnesota is the beautiful and quiet little town of Whalan. Tucked away at the edge of town is Cedar Valley Resort. Cedar Valley is an absolutely gorgeous lodging property with many log cabins tucked into the bluffs. Last Wednesday I met part of the Thompson family down at this resort for a family photo session. The family was from all of the United States and it was a treat to get to spend some time with them photographing them while they were all together on vacation. Several of the family members were from much warmer places (Florida and California), but they even braved our “warm” late November temperatures in the 40′s to get a few outside pictures at the end of our session. Here are a few of the images I liked the best from the day.

Kevan Family Photos {Fall Colors in Lanesboro, Minnesota}

Posted in: Child Portraits, Family Portraits

Matt & Calla and the boys met me down in Lanesboro last Friday for a family session. Their boys have completely won me over. Everywhere I looked I found beautiful smiles. I had them climbing on rocks (and of course jumping off), sitting on trees and at the end we even got to feed some fish out at the fish hatchery. I hope they had half as much fun as I did! Here are your sneak peek previews. I’ll be in touch soon with the rest!

Susy’s Kiddos
{Fall Family Photos in Lanesboro, MN}

Posted in: Child Portraits, Family Portraits, Newborn Photography

Every now and then a session has to be rescheduled for weather. . . Because it’s late fall and Susy’s kiddos are small and we really wanted to be outside it took us three attempts to beat the weather. Like they say though, the third time’s the charm. We finally got outside for pictures and I’m so glad we did! It was wonderful chasing her kiddos around the Habberstad House in Lanesboro looking for that moment when they would slow down for just a moment . . . and “click”. Here are just a few from our session last week.

Samantha’s Fall Family Photos {Lanesboro, MN}

Posted in: Child Portraits, Family Portraits

When you schedule a photo session for the fall you never know what you’re going to get. A few weeks ago the leaves blew off of most of the trees in the area. Fortunately for Sam and the girls those leaves had to land somewhere. We found a gorgeous hillside for their photos, complete with tons of gorgeous leaves. The sun filled the space with beautiful soft light and the girls’ smiles did the rest. What a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Henry’s – 2 years old photos
{Fun Football Photos}

Posted in: Child Portraits

If there is one figured out about Henry it is that this little boy LOVES football. His smile is contagious, and just try to get that football out of his hands! I can’t wait to see what he can do with the ball when he’s a little older. With that in mind we set out to get some great photos of this sweet little guy. Here are the ones I couldn’t resist:

Marcus & Caroline
{Lanesboro, MN Family Photos}

Posted in: Child Portraits, Family Portraits

Last weekend I was fortunate enough to get to meet Caroline & Marc and their two kiddos Bradley (3 years) and Lorelai (almost 1) for a family photo session. Bradley was so sweet and once he started talking about firetrucks he just lit up. I had a hard time narrowing down their pictures to my very favorites, but here they are.
