Squeeze Me


I'm sure Callie is squeezed daily- by mom, dad, grandparents and everyone who loves her. Mom and dad said she didn't sleep well the night before her session, but she was so happy and pleasant I'm not sure that I believe them! She is 100% sweet, that is for sure!

Noah & Isaac | Windom Child Photography


I remember when Noah was just a little guy and we did such cute portraits of him in his cowboy hat- now he's a big big brother and he and Isaac seem to be very busy boys! But they were super for their portrait session and we captured their mischievous grins and the sparkle in their eyes and got mom and dad in for some portraits as well.

Kayla | Class of 2012 Windom Senior Pictures




I love me a red-head! Kayla has spunk and spark, loves her shoes and has a firecracker personality to match.

My Brother- My Sister


These little cuties are a joy to photograph. They are truly miracle babies and it's an honor document their advances by leaps and bounds as well as Thomas's joyful personality and belly laughs as his daddy sings silly songs to make him laugh (don't worry Mike, I dont' have it on hidden video) and Julia's reserved personality until she got into the model mode and let her big beautiful eyes smile as big as her mouth.

This is a favorite image, not only because of their gorgeous eyes ( I love how T's are deep brown and J's are bright blue) but because of the way Julia is holding Thomas' hand. I think, knowing their story, that tells a story in itself.

Summer of 2011


Portraits are a great way to not only document the changes and growth of your children and family, but to use a checkpoint of their individual interests at that particular time. Besides doing sibling shots, we also did a few shots of Jordan with something that kept him occupied for a lot of the summer....baling hay! He may not always look back so fondly on the job down the road, but for now farming tasks like that are more fun than work. We captured Emma with some flowers for her pre-teen portraits and Elena wasn't shy about wanting to get in on the action and show her spunky personality either! Thank you for allowing me to capture your portraits again this year- it's so fun to see how they change in personalities and through the lens as well.

The Wonderful "Threes"






Independent, headstrong, full-steam ahead! Those are some good descriptions of most three year olds. Some might say three is the new "two". Kaden came for his session with some, let's say, 'doubts' about actually going through with it....but with a little cajoling (okay, a LOT of cajoling) he seemed to forget his stance and let a few smiles and some personality shine through. With that smile, those curls and those big brown eyes, one can overlook a case of the 'threes'.
