Happy Holidays 2014, and Looking Ahead to 2015

We can’t say enough about how grateful we are for each and every one of you. It’s your families, your events and your smiles that make each day here at Miroslavich Photography unique and special.

One of those special days was working with Olivia, who was one of our favorites during 2014. She was charming, graceful and a joy to work with during this past year. We are so happy with how the session turned out, and wanted to share with all of you how proud we are of her, as well as the final portraits.

Again, thank you so much for a fantastic and successful 2014. We are especially beholden to each and every one of you for allowing us into personal moments of your own lives, and can’t wait to meet new friends and create exciting memories throughout 2015. We’ll be back in January with new content and features, so have an amazing, safe holiday and happy new year!

Fields of Fun

We've been photographing this sweet family though the years and it was fun to have them back for outdoor images!   This was a special session to celebrate dad Kevin's Birthday and playful black lab Kenzie was included too.  The portrait of Kenzie was a special gift for Kevin's Birthday. We think these beautiful images perfectly capture the fun and love in this cute family!

Hannah- Class of 2014

Just a flashback to one of last fall's high school senior sessions!  Hannah is a current high school senior getting ready to graduate this spring.  We love our high school seniors and the energy and excitement they bring to the studio! Hannah amazed us with her involvement in her school during her senior year and the commitments she had made to various activities!
We are in the midst of preparing for our Class of 2015 senior sessions- in fact, our first session is in a couple of weeks!!  We are also creating senior party invitations for all of our graduates.  Melissa loves designing these invites!
Can't wait to meet the seniors of 2015 this spring/summer! Call us soon if you have a current junior to reserve your appointment early!

Julia turns 5!!

Our little friend Julia turned 5 years old last month and brightened our day by lighting up the studio with her sweet smile!  It was bittersweet for us to photograph Julia's 5 year old session- we have been photographing this lovely family for years.  We have photographed her big brothers since they were just little babes!!  And now, Julia, the "little sister" is a big girl who is 5!! How is that possible?  Weren't we just photographing her newborn session with her brothers gazing lovingly at the little pink bundle of joy?!?  Can't these kiddos stay little forever?!?   We adore capturing families as they grow big and cannot wait to see how they continue to grow up and become big people!  Happy 5th birthday, lovely Miss Julia!!

Emma - Class of 2014

Whew!  What a whirlwind month we have had at the studio meeting new high school seniors and re-connecting with a few of our now-senior clients!   We have had sessions with seniors all over the Twin Cities- St Paul Academy,  Hill Murray,  Cretin Derham, Sibley, East Ridge and Tartan!  We love the energy and enthusiasm these sessions bring to the studio!!  Emma is a senior whom met a couple of years ago with big brother Gabe ( http://miroslavichphotography.blogspot.com/2011/11/gabriel-class-of-2012.html) came for his senior portraits!  Emma came to the studio game for anything we suggested and ready with various outfit changes!  Big bro, Gabe, came with and even helped out with the session!  Love this pair!! Since then we have been lucky enough to meet and photograph some of Emma's senior pals from her high school and we couldn't be happier!!  Watch for many more senior blog posts this fall- and if you still haven't scheduled your senior session, it's not too late! Call us at 651.343.4823.  Yearbook deadlines for senior images start this month so don't wait til the last minute!!

Pretty in Pink

Lately, we have many of our 2012 babies turn a year old which means we have been lucky enough to photograph a lot of one year old sessions!  These sessions are the best!!  This little cutie, Mylee, turned one in July and came in a few weeks ago for her very own special session (we hope to see big sister Stella next time!!).  Mylee got to play "dress up" in two very sweet outfits perfect for this session!  Mylee's big smile lit up the studio almost as much as the hot pink we used- it really must be her color!!
Stay tuned for a one year old session with cake coming soon to the blog- you won't want to miss it!!

Cathryn - Class of 2014

Can you believe that senior season has already started at the studio?  We have been in full blown high school senior mode since early June- and we love it!!
We have known sweet Cathryn since she was a little girl running around with her sister and cousins at her grandparents' house in Hudson.  So it was an honor for us to capture her high school senior session this summer.  We definitely felt inspired by Cathryn's love of French culture and had a grand time incorporating that into her session.  That is what makes these senior sessions unique and special.  All the best with your senior year, Cathryn!!

Toothless wonder!

Okay, so we may have a wee bit of an obsession with toothless sessions.  We readily admit it!!  But how can we help ourselves?!?  That gummy grin gets us everytime.  It may also be because it is such a short window of "cuteness" before those big, grown up pearly whites appear and alter appearances until kiddos "grow" into them.
We encourage all of our clients to come in for a toothless session and Leah's family did exactly that!!  Leah lost one of her top front teeth awhile back and had the other front tooth hanging there for quite some time!  Finally, it fell out (it may have had some help!) and we got her in to the studio for this session!  The extra fun part was that Leah got to help "art direct" the session by choosing her outfit and having input into the background used.  And it was all about just her!!!  The result?   You can see for yourself how darling the images turned out!!  Leah and her family will have a reminder of this fleeting moment in time with the portrait in her room!  Love it!!
