Summer Sun!!

On this super chilly November morning in Minnesota,  it is warms us up to look back at some of our summer sessions from this past summer.  It is also heartwarming to us to see such sweet siblings basking in the sun of a carefree summer day!  This cute trio are longtime friends of the studio so we were thrilled to capture them together this year.  As we kick off Thanksgiving week, we wish all of our blog readers and Miroslavich Photography family a very happy holiday!  We will be back blogging next week with some holiday gift ideas so check back then!!

Togetherness.

What is important to you?  When asked, most people will have some variation of family in their answer.    We couldn't agree more!  Capturing families is always special for us.  Having family portraits that document a time in a family's life is priceless.  Showing connections, relationships, feelings is what you remember when you look at your own family images.

This family is not only gorgeous *and super fun to photograph*  but we love how they all relate to each other!  Brother, sisters, mom, dad.  Fun, playful, silly, loving. (it is an added bonus that mom styled them all so fabulously!) It has been a couple of years since we have photographed them so it was cool to see how these siblings have all grown up and have fun together!  We know their family portraits hold a special place in their hearts and we hope they will cherish this as much as we loved creating it for them.

Back to School Bliss!

Here in Minnesota, today is the first day of school for most kids!  A day when we leave those carefree days of summer behind and trade in the lazy mornings for mornings of rushing to catch the bus!  We hope to squeak out some more warm, summer-like weather these next few weeks to ease us all into the fall routine!
When we think back to this summer at the studio-this sibling trio comes to mind! This was one of our favorite summer sessions this year. Not only are these three incredibly sweet, kind and good looking-but they all got along so well with each other. We seriously could have spent the whole day with them!!    Capturing their relationships with each other and each of their own personalities was priceless! We are happy to have gotten to know them!   Here's hoping they had a great first day at school today!

Family Fun!

Time for a new family portrait was what prompted this family of 5 to come in to see us just before the holidays! Of course, it was a bonus for us that these three kiddos were exuding enthusiasm and fun!  And since we know that Melissa has a "thing" for hats-when they all brought out their fun, winter hats, it was the icing on the cake for this session!

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!!

Family time in Saint Paul

Today in the Twin Cities, it is damp, rainy and dreary out. Not the kind of weather we like to have this time of year. Some nice fluffy white stuff is preferable to many of us right now.  However, I was glancing back at some of our 2012 sessions this morning and came across one of our faves.  Not only does the super great, summer weather make me smile but this family of 5 always brightens our day. These darling faces exude sunshine! Olivia, Mason and Lauren were such a pleasure to photograph and we really captured their personalities and relationships with each other- a real testament to their parents!!!  We know 2013 is going to be a great year for this 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!!

Irish eyes are smiling...

Imagine having four children under 5 years old...yes, it is hard to imagine. However, this beautiful family is living proof that you can survive it and have some of the loveliest children around. Having known this family for many years, it is easy to smile seeing them becoming big kids full of love, wisdom and compassion. Easy to do when you have two great parents. We are thrilled that they chose us to create these wonderful images of their growing family.

Two lovely sisters + one sweet brother = one great session!

These adorable siblings were so fun to photograph! Seven year old Ella, five year old Graham and two year old Lily were ready to get started as soon as they walked in the door! We captured great moments of them together-being silly, playful and just having fun!! We were also able to create stunning individual images of each of them-really showing their own unique personalities. They were darling. You know it was a great session when the 2 year old is blowing kisses as she leaves the studio at the end! Gotta love that! This family recently had an addition to their family-an eight week old goldendoodle puppy they named Teddy!! We can't wait for a session next summer that will include Teddy!! Yay!!
