Stevie Grace

I am so excited to share these newborn images of Stevie Grace with you. Stevie is the daughter of fantastic friends of mine and so it was both an honor and fun to do her first portrait shoot at just 8 days old. The next great thing about working with friends is that you can tell them exactly what to d0 and so with Jan told me she thought they would wait to do daddy and baby pictures until 6 months I told her "No way, girl- you're bringing Troy along". And, yes...though I hate to rub it in----who was right again? ;)

Stevie is one beautiful baby girl.

Is it too early to think about Dance Pictures?

March is still a little ways off...but I'm preparing as much as I can in advance since baby #3 is due in Feburary, I want to be ahead of the game as I still plan on doing the dance mini-sessions again. I'm happy to say that I have all the custom creations and storyboard designs developed and will be adding a couple new products this year as well. Every year I try to shake things up to offer different looks and different designs and this years theme is going to be a little shabby chic, a little elegant, and a little vintage lace all rolled into one. I hope you like it!

If you've come to the dance sessions previously, you'll be on the mailing list to get notified as soon as costumes are in and a date for the sessions is set.

If you would like to be notified, please email me and I'll put you on the list to be notified.

The past two years the sessions times have filled up and filled up rather quickly- so keep that in mind. Tell your friends and family as well! ;)

More Seniors

I'm behind. I'm actually doing pretty well keeping caught up with editing, but this blog is weighing me down. I love being able to share images on facebook- but now it's like one more thing to keep up with between the website, facebook, image galleries, emails...

If your image doesn't show up on my sneak peek- it's not because I don't love you- it's most likely pregnancy brain and lack of enough hours in the day. Here are a few awesome seniors that I shot recently. Seniors are one of my favorite sessions to do. I love being able to make each session unique and different and capturing the essence of them at this exciting time in their life! Here's Trevon, and Abby.

Andy and Kristy

I had the privilege of photographing Andy and Kristy's wedding at Kilen Woods Saturday. It was just a perfect day and it was a beautiful wedding. I haven't shot or attended many outdoor weddings- but I will say I was taken with how beautiful the surroundings were and it really just added to the whole atmosphere of the day. I know many of the bridal party- and so that just makes my job that just more fun. I am just beginning to start the editing process of the images, but wanted to share just a few of the day. Congratulations, Andy and Kristy! You're "A-OK." ha ha. ;)

U of M guy

Here's a new collage I created for the U of Minnesota guys. Gold and maroon are their colors for sure!

Shy Ryan

Ryan started out pretty shy- but he brought some friends in for portraits and once he got settled in showing them off, it made for some awesome portraits. I love the way the denim blue sets against the dark brown and shows off his beautiful eyes! Hope your birthday celebration was a great one, Ryan!

Senior Season

The seniors are keeping me hopping. Here is quick share of a few of Tyler's session.
