Family Photography | Slayton, MN

It was a pleasure to photograph this group of gals: Mom and daughters, Grandma and Aunt. The women in our lives are so important and I hope the images I captured will be a keepsake and special memory to them and the newest member of this line of fantastic women. The little ones were so sweet and I could tell how much Charlie loved her little sister.

I enjoyed a little time off last week and have a lot of catch up this week, with some family and senior sessions to shoot this week.

Children's Photography | SW Minnesota

These little girls were efficient! They came and showed their sparkling personality. All smiles. I got some beautiful shots for mom and dad- and then they were done! That's what you call efficient. But when you're as cute and cooperative as they are that's all you need! We managed to get a few family portraits as well. Their session is going to be a fun one to edit! Thank you for allowing me to capture your family's and your daughter's portraits.

Flat Earth Wrestling | Josh

We started out doing some First Communion Portraits...and mom wanted some images of Josh in his wrestling singlet (is that how you spell that?!) as well. So we literally started out straight laced and then Josh 'broke out' in all his wrestling glory! Sorta like Superman or Super-Wrestler Man incognito. (I don't THINK he normally wears his singlet under his suit to Mass - LOL)

The photo-keepsake tins continue to be a popular item- and I love them as well. Mom plans to keep special keepsakes in it thru the years.

Thanks for being a super model, Josh!

Little Brother 2

It's not easy being the little brother, but Joshua takes his role as the baby of the family with a big smile on his face. He's not one that holds that smile back and that just makes my job a bit easier to capture images of this adorable angel. Thanks to mom and dad for bringing Joshua in for his ONE YEAR portrait! Where did that year go? As a baby planner, Joshua will be receiving a 10x20 storyboard panel featuring one image of each of his sessions from the past year to show his growth from infant to toddler.
It's such a special transition that seems to just pass at the speed of light. Happy Birthday, Joshua!

Independence Day!

It's Independence Day- one of my favorite holidays as a child- and I still enjoy the tradition of the the Okabena parade and games in the park, ballgames and getting a chance to run into old friends. I have an "ALL ABOUT ME" poster from Kindergarten where I state the 4th was my favorite holiday because I got to go to the park and drink 7-Up. I guess it didn't take much to make me happy. :)
Wishing you all a Happy 4th Holiday, whether you spend it with friends and family or taking it easy and relaxing. It's Independence Day!
