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.

Web-site down

Unfortunately through a wonderful technology glitch (we all love computers!) my web-site is down and malfunctioning. I am in the process of working with my site manager and the company that I am creating a new web-site with, so please e-mail me directly if you have questions. Stay on the watch for the new site, and posted here for more photos this week on the blog!

Nora- 18 months

Angie was one of my college roommates and lives only a city away from us! I met up with Ang, her wonderful husband, Max, and their 18 month old Nora last week. We had a great time exploring Theo Wirth Parkway and eventually ended up at a beach and playground with some great "props". Believe it or not, this beautiful, smiley, little girl gave us a run for our time! We had a few melt downs, only to be followed by bursts of laughter. I have to say I am not in the least bit surprised. My girls are the same way, so I just had the camera ready, aimed, and fired when those bright smiles came. Thankfully there were plenty!

Michael and Laura, waiting for June

Michael and Laura's paths crossed back when they were very young. Their brother's used to play together and Laura was always somewhere in the mix. Off and on throughout high school their lives were intertwined and after high school they lost touch, until facebook! They reconnected there and the rest is history! The three of us hit up Centennial Lakes in Edina and had a great time chatting and photographing. They are naturals in front of the camera, and I look forward to their big day in June!

Andy and Kate- 05.16.09

I absolutely love my job. I really do.

It is so easy to do when you gt a beautiful couple like Kate and Andy! This couple truly had an amazing day to get married, the weather was perfect and the fun never stopped. We started the day off by shooting around the Lake of the Isles Lutheran Church and then hit up a few side streets and alleys for some street shots. After some strolling around, we hit up a school carnival where Andy showed Kate his rippling muscles and then headed back to the church. Following the ceremony we took a trolley around Lake Calhoun and then headed over to Calhoun Beach Club, where Kate's sister, maid of honor, and Andy's brother, best man, toasted to the new couple leaving no eye dry, including my own! Your love for one another is transparent; thank you for allowing me to document it, I was so touched and feel so blessed to be a part of your day!

On vacation

Just got back from sunny Flordia with my wonderful hubby. We left the kiddos at home and took a break from life for 6 wonderful days! As much as I love my family, it is always a blessing to be away and reconnect with Kevin. So I am back at it, plugging away, refreshed and caught up on sleep. At least for this week!

More photos to come from new events later this week!
