Maternity {SE MN Maternity Portrait Session}

We had such a lovely time photographing this couple’s maternity session. It was an honor to capture this moment in their lives and the anticipation of the upcoming arrival of their twin boys soon. Can’t wait to photograph their newborn session and through the next year during their Watch Me Grow Session.

Happy New Year! {SE MN Portrait Photographer}

Goodbye, 2020! Hello, 2021! It’s a new year and as the majority of us, I’m happy to turn the page from 2020 to 2021!

This year hasn’t been easy for many people. It has brought a lot of challenges. But through it all, I believe we can all remember that there is always hope and a bright side. I think we all were able to learn a few lessons this past year, but one positive from 2020 was that it forced people to really slow down since we had nowhere to go and really appreciate the moments with friends and family. I know I’m a homebody normally, but am truly looking forward to being able to spend more time with friends and family in 2021 as we hopefully put an end to this pandemic.

At this time of reflection, we would also like to thank everyone for their continued support and for trusting us to capture your family’s treasured moments. Because of you, we’re still here and are looking forward to our 2021 photo sessions.

With most of our shoots in 2020 being outdoors, the studio got a bit disorganized, so we’ve been putting some time into organizing to get ready for our 2021 sessions. Today, Rylee and I spent the first day of 2021 organizing some of our backdrops that had taken over our cabinets in the front room, shelves in the back, and even in Rubbermaid tubs….they were everywhere. But now they will all be in one spot in this moveable cart that also has photos of the drops in front of them so we won’t have to guess which backdrop we are grabbing. Should make grabbing backdrops much easier.

Thanks, again. Happy New Year!

Santa’s Workshop {Spring Valley MN Christmas Family Portrait Photographer}

“Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.” – Clement Clark Moore

This year with the few Christmas sessions we did, we used old backdrops and had no real plan heading into the session like we usually do with our Christmas mini sessions, we usually have them planned to “T”. This was the first session we did, but absolutely love the fun we had in Santa’s workshop with this family. So, so many favorites to share….

6 Months {Rochester MN Children’s Portrait Photographer}

“Seeing is believing, but sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can’t see.” —The Polar Express

During Miss S’s 6 Month Watch Me Grow Session, her Dad dressed up as Santa for some photos and we also did some more photoshop magic for a few as well. So fun!
