Levi at 6 months

Ahhh, this little guy is so adorable, check out those baby blues! Jared and Lydia are wonderful friends of ours and were married in 2007. ( I think you can even see snippets of their wedding on this blog, they are one of the first posts that I had!) I think we are all looking forward to our boys growing up together. This guy was all smiles for the camera and we had a great morning together!

Pratt Family

The Pratts are very good friends of ours, and also some of my business partners! As a team, Josh and Kirstjen designed my web-site and have also done a number of other web-related things for me! For this computer illiterate woman, they are a HUGE blessing. We hit up a local apple orchard for some stunning photos of their family and had a great time in the process. Their little guy, Shane, is such a ham in front of the camera, so it was easy to get him to smile and have a blast. Thanks for allowing me to photograph your beautiful family. We are so thankful for you all!

Shooting location: Pine Tree Apple Orchard: White Bear Lake, MN

Behnken Family

The Behnken's are an amazing family! So full of love and joy that it emanates to the many people around them. We have the privilege of knowing Jonathan and Laura as well as their 3 beautiful children! What fun we had while shooting family photos this beautiful Sunday afternoon! We got up close and personal with a tree frog and after a time of shooting, the kids (along with my own) got soaking wet in the nearby fountain. Thanks for letting me photograph your entire family, we love you guys!

Shooting location: Central Park Arboretum; Roseville, MN

Friends for 16 years??

So I had to do it! The above family is very near and dear to my heart. Laura and I met in 6th grade and got "stuck" sitting next to each other in class. At first you could say that I wasn't her biggest fan, but over the course of the year, an amazing friendship grew and has continued to grow over the years. Like many friends, we have been through thick and thin, and I love her and now her entire family to pieces. Seeing our girls grow up together, I can only hope that they would have a relationship that is as deep as this one. I am blessed beyond measure by this woman and pray that every woman would have a girl-friend that knows her backward and forward, inside and out! Here's to the years the Lord has blessed us with and will bless us with. I love you Laur.
