First Birthday {NE Iowa Children’s Portrait Photographer}

Posted in Toddlers

A first birthday is a huge milestone in a baby’s life (And yours – you survived the first year!!) Celebrating with a one year photoshoot is a great way to make sure you have lasting memories of this fleeting time!
Miss I had a one-year-old milestone session fit for a princess (which she is with 3 older brothers who adore her) with cheetah print and pink and gold as well! Talk about fun!

Science Lab {Stewartville MN Children’s Portrait Photographer}

Posted in Kids

Mr. B’s Science lab…. A few of my favorite photos with the set Elise and Shelby helped create a few weeks ago/ Mr. B’s mom always chooses fun themes for B’s sessions. Last year we did superheroes and we didn’t know if we’d be able to top it. But I think we may have. We even were able to do a few science experiments as well….

When one of your best friend’s family gets a new puppy, you have to stop over and grab some photos. Beautiful girls, adorable puppy, cute front porch decor, and amazing light…. perfection.

It’s the Big ONE! {Spring Valley MN One Year Old Baby Portrait Photographer}

Posted in Babies

It’s the big one! We missed his 9-month session from quarantine but was so glad we were able to open in time to capture his one-year photos and do a cake smash as well. I usually am amazed at how much our watch me grow babies grow and change in the 3 months between us seeing them but not seeing Mr. C in 6 months, he grew so, so much. But one thing that did not change is his big smile. Such a happy little guy!

And check out the modified cake his Mom and her friend did with a part of Mr. C’s parent’s wedding cake. They did such a good job turning the wedding cake into a fishing themed cake. Such a special cake to use for his cake smash.

P.S. The water is photoshopped in.

Newborn Mr. K {Spring Valley MN Newborn Portrait Photographer}

Posted in Newborns

Our first newborn session since quarantine and it was a special one. It was with my friend and former assistant Brianna’s new little one Mr. K. I had so much fun during this session catching up with Bri as we haven’t seen each other in person for quite a long time. We kept the session pretty simple and probably spent more time chatting than actually taking photos. But we were sure to get in one really special photo in during our session. Bri brought an entire box full of empty syringes from her IVF treatments to capture that Mr. K was made with a little science and a lot of love.
