A Christmas Baby!!

Happy Holidays from Miroslavich Photography! We thought this new little guy was fitting for our final blog entry of 2008! Sweet little Jayden was born at the beginning of the month and came to the studio at 3 days old for his first session with us! Mom had bought this stocking before Jayden was born and we couldn't resist putting him right inside! Our little Christmas elf!! His mom and dad couldn't be prouder! And we are thrilled for all of them!

Melissa and I wish all of you a very happy holiday and new year! The studio is now closed until Tuesday January 6th. Melissa will be spending the holidays with her family in and around the Twin Cities and my family and I will be making the long drive back to Canada for 2 weeks! We are all looking forward to a peaceful and relaxing holiday!

We look forward to coming back in January and starting 2009 off with a bang!! We have lots of exciting things happening in January and we can't wait to tell you all about them!! Check back in the new Year!! Until then, enjoy these stunning newborn images and how magical a baby can make Christmas!

Curly Haired Beauty!!

Some of you may recognize this darling face from several of our displays around town! This wall portrait of Emerson has been displayed at many local businesses we partner with and we receive LOTS of fabulous comments about her! Well, check out Emerson these days! She is now 2 years old and has a full head of gorgeous curls!! The kind of curls girls dream of having!! We loved seeing Emerson again and the photo session went by all too quickly! Mom loved so many of the images, we created an beautiful fine art book so they could enjoy all of the images together. It is stunning!


How expressive is this face???

Polka Dot Pretty!

I think I have a thing for polka dots! And who couldn't when they see this sweet face?!?! 9 month old Maren came in a few weeks ago with her mom and dad for this session....Mom had said when she called to schedule the session that she couldn't let this stage go by without some beautiful portraits to remind them of Maren's chubby cheeks and a darling smiles! We couldn't agree more! And next time they come in, we are going to include their family dog, Crumpet!!! Can't wait!!

A Wedding Story with Puppy Love

The story begins with a little french bulldog ... I had the opportunity to photograph Omar a few years ago and just fell head over heals with this frenchie immediately. He won my heart and is still one of my favorite dogs ever. Here is my favorite image from his session.Isn't he just so CUTE and huggable! Anyway, I found out during our session that this little guy was a gift from the boyfriend and thought to myself "that man is a keeper!" And guess what? I had the honor and privilege of capturing the couples wedding day earlier this October. Brian gave Omar to Suzanne, and she agreed he was a keeper too. It was an amazing wedding day, and I was thrilled to be a part of it. The bride was absolutely radiant and the groom just beamed. Surrounded by closest friends and family, everyone was happy, beautiful, and in the moment. And the fall day was as gorgeous as could be. Just look at the color! Thank you Suzanne and Brian for the opportunity to tell the story of your wedding. You are blessed! MN just doesn't get any better than this! A fall wedding. Check out that light! Yummy!

Giggles, laughter and joy filled the day. It was such an inspiration to me. Suzanne's mother made her veil. You can't get more special and personal than that!

Stunning!
Check out those baby blue eyes!

a Bright and Merry Holiday!!

Don't these images make you think of a cheery holiday season?!?! And how great are these colors? When Taye came in for her planning session and brought us the clothes she was thinking of having everyone wear, we were so pumped! Bright orange, fushia pink and red! They rock! And we love it! We were equally as excited when the whole family came in for the photo session and lit up the studio with their personalities and enthusiasm! How many of us don't have great images of just Mom and Dad? (....probably the last one most of us have is from our wedding!) This one is absolutely stunning!!
Two year olds just love to run..and run..and run!!!

Enjoying a Fall Morning!

Can you believe that this photo session took place only 1 month ago? As I write this, we are experiencing a near-blizzard and it is 10 degrees!! Brrrr!! Gotta love Minnesota weather!

Brita arranged for this photo session as a birthday present for Mark and we couldn't have planned for a more perfect day! Their dogs, Desi and Sadie, loved running around and playing and doing some posing for the camera! Hilarious! And Brita & Mark were thrilled with their images...happy birthday, Mark!!

Funky Hats!!

When we last see these siblings, it was April and we had our first official outdoor photo session of the year in Mears Park...and now, 7 months later, this was probably our final outdoor photo session of 2008! We decided to do something fun and silly this time and mom brought them all different hats! Cool! It is amazing how much they all changed in the few months it had been since we had seen them! What a great family!!
