Sisters.

There is something about sisters that is so sweet and precious. These two sisters are exactly that-big sister Lily is a little mother to little Violet. Seeing them interact and play during their session this past summer was too cute for words. Of course, coordinating sisters outfits is always so fun and their mom did a wonderful job with them. We are so pleased that their portraits are displayed so proudly in their home-and happy that we can share these images with their out of town family and friends through the blog! We hope they enjoy as much as we do!

Blue eyed babe!

Baby Liam was three months old when we photographed him for this session. How great is this age? The expressions are priceless-new smiles, grimaces, smirks and giggles. What could be better? It is hard to believe that he will be returning soon for his 6 month session in a few weeks. We are excited to see how much he has grown since this session and see him sitting on his own, interacting more and developing his own sweet little personality. See you soon, Baby Liam!!

Lucky number 10!!!

Celebrating 10 years of wedded bliss prompted these long time clients to have us create beautiful family portraits of them this summer. We have been photographing Isabelle and Lily since Lily was just a baby so we were thrilled to photograph the whole family this time. And what a lovely family they are! Stephanie and Larry are celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary so what a better time to celebrate family with a family portrait?! We are so happy that we could capture this special time for you. Enjoy!

Morning smiles!

How is it possible that this family keeps getting cuter and cuter every time we photograph them? Maybe it's because Mom has a great sense of style and they all come to each photo session so well coordinated and dressed?! Whatever it is, they need to let us in on the secret! We love photographing them through the years as they grow into bigger kids with different interests and ready for new adventures.

Fun in downtown St Paul!

We are so lucky to meet such fabulous families! This particular cute family came to us as the winning recipient of one of our gift certificates at a local school silent auction. (We love supporting our local schools!) It has been great getting to know them better. Bella and Derek were a blast to capture! Bella showed off some of her groovy yoga moves (can you tell that Mom is a yoga instructor?!) and Derek dazzled Melissa with his sweet personality and sense of humor. We are fortunate that we have such fantastic locations in downtown Saint Paul to use right outside the studio door. Urban alleys and lush green parks are right there! And of course, it helps when we have pretty darn cute kids to photograph!!

Our business is built on referrals from YOU! Thank you!

Late summer morning fun!

It has been a couple of years since we had the pleasure of photographing this lovely family-in fact, it was when little Sadie was just days old; it was the middle of January and freezing cold. What a difference to this family session!! It was a stunning late summer morning in a nearby meadow with warm sun and lots of sunny smiles (and one of these smiles was missing a couple of front teeth)! We also spent some time hunting for the "perfect" bonfire sticks for 5 year old Payne which we were able to find plenty. The bonfire that occurred later that evening must have been pretty darn cool-and hopefully s'mores were enjoyed as well!
