One year old Cora and her family

I love shooting kids! One of my favorite things to do, especially when they are in their element!Little Cora had just turned one this past weekend, and she already is turning heads. I had a blast getting to know her little personality and trying to capture it. Here are some of my favorites from the afternoon!Quite possibly my favorite of the afternoon. Cora eating her birthday cake in her birthday suit!

Spring is finally here

On Sunday after a shoot (more photos to come later this week) I stopped at an amazing display of spring. Each year I can't help but stop and smell these blossoms on the tree near my house. The beauty of creation never ceases to amaze me, especially in the spring time. After the bitter cold of the winter, the newness of life blossoms ever before our eyes. The perfect display of the newness of life with Christ. So get out there and start shooting and enjoying...

Ella at 3 weeks

I had the great priveledge of visiting Andrea, Brian and little Ella in their home to do one of Ella's first photo shoots at three weeks. Thankfully we had perfect lighting and I was able to get my newborn fix for the week... thanks Andrea for just letting me hold and smell Ella. She is a beauty!

All snuggled up next to daddy. He sure had the touch, she calmed down just hearing his heartbeat. I love, love this photo. Andrea just kissing her little angel and Brian the protector of thier family. LOVE IT!And she had it here, but still looks as yummy as ever!

The Charlebois Family

I love my clients.

I love getting to know their personalities, the way they act in front and behind a camera. I love photographing them in their environment.

I love talking with them and I love trying to capture the feeling that is going on right within that moment.

I love watching them interact with each other and I absolutely adore watching them interact with their children, probably because I can totally relate as a parent.

Here is a family that I relished in taking their photos. They had a great time on and off camera. Thanks for allowing me to take joy in photographing and capturing you!

A word on the music...

Everyone wants to look good for summer, and I have joined the bandwagon. I have to admit, I am ready to be wearing tank tops even while carrying my camera around while shooting. So a peek into my personal life... (Appealing right?) I am in a class at my local YMCA called Body Pump with a few friends. The song on the blog is from one of the tracks, shoulders. So while I am pumping the weight I am thinking, "tank tops", "summer", and hopefully one of these days, the warmth will come to this Minneapolis city!

Enjoy! and Amy and Angie, this one's for you!

He's Here!

I received the text at 6:45 "he's here!" and then the call from my brother in law, Andrew, at 7:30. Asher James was born this morning! I made the quick decision (although I don't really think there was much to really think about) to head down to Rochester to see this little cutie later that afternoon. Lydia was so chatty the whole way down there with thoughts that I was having, "who did he look like", "how big was he" and "oh I can't wait to hold him!" The questions were to be answered when we arrived at the hospital and got to see this perfect little gem. I don't think there is anything sweeter than holding a precious newborn for the first time. It is my very, best, absolute, favorite thing to do, and I am thankful to be an auntie times 5 now!My sister, Claire, after the delivery. She looks fabulous!
Comes with the territory!Big Brother Josh is very proud of his baby brother.All the 6 cousins hanging out at the hospital, the room got a little busy!
