The Nelson Family

Crazy to believe that it has been a year since little Lucy arrived! Now she is almost one and practically walking! I am so thankful to be a part of the Nelson's life and have loved photographing this little cutie every 3 months! (It also gives me an excuse to see my wonderful friend and catch up on life!) Dre, here are some snippets of the session we did on Sat. We just beat the rain, and Lucy did a wonderful job, even if we were cutting it close to nap time!

Working from home

So I have been terrible at keeping up with blogging this summer. The days continue to float by, but I LOVE the fact that I can work from home and use these wonderful days to work, and play with my kids! On Wednesday we all went out scoping for new locations for me to shoot at, and I think I found a place... thanks to my kiddos! Luckily, for them we got to play at the park, after we found it, and then head out for treats form Trader Joe's!


Love this. Ben is standing now (Sad, my baby is growing up). All 3 of them in their sweet essence.

A morning with the family

It was a wonderful morning! Two families that I have photographed in the past, the Hoilien's and Wurst's, had the whole family in the Cities for a wedding. With 17 people, we headed out to the Roseville Arboretum, and perused the place, finding nooks and crannies to shoot some super fun photos in. Thanks so much to everyone involved, it was so wonderful to spend my morning with you!

The Owens Family

When Stacy called to see if I would photograph her family, I was thrilled. Her grandfather lives with them and they are truly a multi-generational family! I just loved the way Elijah and his great-grandaddy interacted with each other. There was such a connection between them. Elijah tottled around making sure "gram-pa" was around following them. After 2 re-scheduling because of rain and illness, I was glad we had some beautiful weather to photograph in. Thank you Owen's family for allowing me into your world for an evening!

Ben- 6 months

Yikes! Where has time gone?! My little guy just hit 6 months about 2 weeks ago and I seriously can't believe how fast it has gone. This guy is so easy and laid back (probably like most 3rd borns). Rarely cries and is SO happy. Love the chubby cheeks and thighs. Neither of the girls had those rolls so I have to say I am so thankful to be squeezing them! Yesterday we all headed outside despite the cloudy skies and just used our wonderful old garage as a backdrop.Love the expressions here, so much like his dad.We headed to the park and my 2 year old, Elise was just dying to be photographed, so here she is showing me her tricks on the swing.
