It's great to be 4!!!

Oh, to have the energy of a 4 year old!!  There are many days I wish I could channel their energy!  Meet Zoe- a energetic, enthusiastic and very sweet 4 year old who entertained us at the studio a few weeks ago! And how about these curls???  We had a grand old time with Zoe- tutus, fancy clothes, pajamas and bubbles!  Who wouldn't have fun?!?  Watching Zoe have fun with the bubbles and the pure delight and excitement on her face was priceless.  We are so thrilled to have captured these sweet moments for her family.

A Snowy day

Was it possible that we actually had snow in the Twin Cities this year? Yes, we did and this photo session took place on one of those rare days shortly after a stunningly beautiful snowfall. The kind of snow that sticks to tree and sparkles in the sun. Of course, not nearly as pretty and sparkly as 2 year old Emerson and her sweet personality! The last time we saw Emerson, she was 6 months old. Now she is a big 2 year old girl -running, laughing and not loving her mittens!! Oh, to be 2 again! We are so glad we captured some moments in the snow with Emerson this winter! Magical.

The Ones We Love the Most!

Mother's Day is right around the corner, and you can give mom the gift that shows the world how much her kids mean to her. We are offering a new specialty line of portrait jewelry. Each piece of jewelry is exquisitely designed to feature a portrait of your choice. What could celebrate Mother's Day better than the kids she loves the most? Beginning April 10 until Mother's Day, we are offering $50 off each piece of jewelry. Choose from multiple styles of necklaces and bracelets. There is a look for every mother's style - sassy, quiet, playful, fun-loving.

She can also choose her own with a (beautifully gift wrapped) gift certificate. Gift certificates are available starting at $50 and can be used toward jewelry, a creation fee or any portrait order. Let us help make Mother's Day extra special this year!

Call us at 651.343.4823 for more information on our jewelry line or to schedule a spring or summer session. Happy Mother's Day!

Rowland the Rockstar!

Rowland is a super cool cat who came into the studio earlier this winter for a photo session. We are not kidding when we say that he is the coolest cat EVER. Not only is he cool, he is one of the friendliest cats we have met. His favorite place to be is on Shelley's shoulders so we just had to capture an image of that! Shelley's young son is really convinced Rowland is a rockstar since he had these portraits done. Just seeing these images, don't you agree????

Brotherly love...

Two brothers. 13 months apart. Ages 1 and 2. Do you think this household is busy? We loved meeting Ethan and Silas when they came in for their photo session recently. You can tell, even at this young age, that these two boys are going to be the best of friends. They are sweet and loving with one another but also you can tell that they are going to like being physical and playful-just like brothers!!

A great birthday surprise!!

We love surprises!! Especially when they involve photography!! This was an extra special session with two super sweet dogs, Rainey and Anna. Rainey and Anna's owner, Jen, contacted us about creating beautiful portraits of their German Short hairs, as a surprise for her husband's upcoming birthday. Of course we were up for it!! Rainey and Anna came in to the studio with Jen and we had a lovely session photographing them together and individually. Anna even got to sport angel wings and do her own mini-fashion runway pose!! It was all kept secret until Jen picked up her gallery wrap canvas collage and displayed it for her hubby on his birthday weekend!! Surprise!! He was surprised and delighted!! It's a good thing that dogs can't speak - after having been photographed lying on our sofa at the studio, Rainey and Anna kept trying to jump up on the sofa at home. Jen had a hard time explaining to her husband why this kept happening?!?! So glad we could be a part of such a wonderful birthday surprise!!
