Mother's Day-Generations of love!

As Mother's Day approaches in a couple of weeks, we thought we would share with you this darling image from a recent session that included grandma, mom and son.  What an incredible gift to give/receive! This lovely family scheduled their session while grandma was visiting from sunny California earlier this spring.  Now, they can all cherish memories from this sweet session even though the miles separate them for most of the year!

If you are thinking of a gift for mom this Mother's Day, consider a Miroslavich Photography gift card! Gift cards start at $50 and come in beautifully hand gift wrapped boxes.  Call us at 651.343.4823 to order over the phone!

Sparkle and shine!

We all could use a little more sparkle in our lives!  These three cuties had no idea that we had planned to use our very sparkly, very glittery, very fun background for their session so when they came in they were super excited to see such a festive studio!!  And their outfits couldn't have been better suited for this level of glam!! Adeline, Eli and Stella are siblings that always make us smile and we adore seeing them grow up before us! (stay tuned for Adeline's toothless session on the blog very soon!) While we enter another arctic plunge here in Minnesota this week, try to find some sparkle and shine to brighten up your days!!

Sisterly love!

When we look back at last fall, it seems like it was the season of sisters!!  We met many new sisters and saw some of our long time sister friends as well!  There is something special about these relationships-sweet and silly, loving and caring.  And these two sisters certainly have those characteristics.  Leah and Sophie are 6 and 4 and lit up our studio when they came in a few months ago.  Their giggles and stories kept us wishing that every morning started that way!  We know the portraits we created for their home will provide many years of pleasure happiness and pleasure. 

All I want for Christmas....

Okay, so I couldn't resist!! These images of Lily without her two front teeth made me think of the classic Christmas song we have all sung at one point in our lives!! So fitting for this 6 year old who lost those two teeth earlier this year!! We love this milestone but like all other childhood stages, it, too is a fleeting moment!! Before you know it, that big empty space in their mouth will be sprouting those grown up teeth that seem too big for those little mouths!!  It is great that Lily and Violet's mom was able to have us capture this moment to cherish forever!!  These sisters are a hoot together and we love their smiles and giggles!! 

Carefree Summer days!

These cuties are kind of like rock stars on our blog as we have been photographing them since their oldest, Brennan, was a baby!! Brennan is now 6 1/2 years old and brother Davis is 4 1/2 years old and little sister Eleanor is a big girl who is 2 years old!!!  We can always count on their mom pulling their outfits together into something awesome and this session was no exception!  We love their energy, smiles and giggles- and being outside for this session was so fun! Watching these siblings run, dance, climb and explore is what summer is all about.  We are so happy to be a part of your lives!

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.

Three blonde cuties!!!

How cute are these three blondies? Adeline. Eli. Stella. We have known this family for just over a year and can't get enough of them! This was our first outdoor session with them and so fun to watch them discover their surroundings and explore. Running, chasing, jumping, posing, climbing, giggling. It doesn't get much better than that. We can't wait for their next session-with mom and dad this time!!

Family and Fall Leaves!

With snow now on the ground in Minnesota, this cool crisp fall morning seems like it was ages ago! Fall in Minnesota never seems long enough-maybe because we aren't looking forward to the long months of winter! So as I look at these images, I remember this fall morning fondly when we spent time with a lovely family. The previous time we photographed this family, it was the heat of summer and we were looking for shade.

We love the playfulness of this session and how much fun these brothers had exploring the park, throwing leaves at each other, mom and dad and Melissa and I, too!! Joining them for this session was their lovely nanny, Sarah, who we captured with the boys, as well. Very sweet!! We know that they will enjoy viewing these portraits displayed in their family room and the punch of these great colors will be spectacular! (Jackie never ceases to amaze us with her talents in decorating and displaying art in her home!)

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!!

Best Buds!

Blue eyed Ben recently became a big one year old and his older brother, Sam, became an even bigger 4 year old. What better way to celebrate these milestones than by a joint photo session capturing these brothers playing, having fun and just being boys?! Ben had just begun walking on his own so exploring the studio (and under chairs!) was top on his list of things to do that morning. Of course, Sam is a pro having his photo created at the studio and is able to show little Ben the ropes. We adore watching this family grow and being able to document these special occasions with portraits. Can't wait for our next session with them!
