Kobis the star!!!

Reeently, we began photographing for the local Stonemill Farms/Dancing Waters Connector magazine and were selected to be the exclusive photographer for their Pet Feature each month!  It has been a blast meeting and photographing local pets (and sometimes their family members).  Recently we met Kobis who is a bearded collie and one of his family members, Gwyneth, age 12.  Kobis, who is now 3 years old was adopted through Second Hand Hounds by Gwyneth's family when he was an 8 week old puppy.  Kobis was the star of the session and certainly loved his moment in the "spotlight"! Melissa so adored photographing him. What a sweet boy!!!

Carter-Class of 2014

It was very special for us to capture Carter's senior portraits! As a faithful reader of our blog, you may recall Carter's older brother, TJ, who came to us in 2012 for his senior session. (to refresh your memory, click on this link!  http://miroslavichphotography.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html ) Carter is just as charming and handsome as his older brother and we had such a fun time with this session! It was just at the end of hockey season-Carter plays for Totino Grace who made it to the Minnesota State hockey tournament this year- and we were able to catch one of the last days at one of our local outdoor rinks.  It is so meaningful when we can incorporate activities/sports that the seniors are passionate about in their life into their portraits!  We wish Carter all the best as he ventures off to the University of Missouri this fall! GO TIGERS!!

Blue eyed boy!

It started out as a 6 month old, blue eyed boy session. But Oliver was totally willing to "share" his time in the spotlight with his big brother and sisters!!  And what fun we had!!  2 year old sweet, loving Christopher adores his baby brother!! Free-spirited 7 year old Vivian had a blast being silly and funny with Melissa during the session and big sister, Isabelle, was definitely the "mother hen" of the group with her nurturing and sweet nature!  We adored their session and can't wait for Oliver's 1 year session this fall!!

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!

Merry Christmas 2013!!

Before we head off for a short "blog-cation", we wanted to end the year wishing our Miroslavich family of clients, friends and blog followers a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!! And also thank you for making 2013 such a wonderful year for us!  We are excited to return to the blog in January with new ideas, blogs, sessions, clients and stories to tell!
(and who couldn't look at these three cuties-and longtime clients of ours- without feeling the joy of the season?!?!)

Survivor.

It was our privilege to photograph Connie earlier this year as she recovered from her breast cancer treatments.  Melissa has known Connie for years so it was very special for Melissa to capture Connie during this time in her journey.  These stunning images reflect Connie's strength, beauty, and courage.  We were honored that one of Melissa's images was selected for the cover of the latest issue of Minnesota Oncology.  This issue focuses on survivorship and features a story highlighting Connie's recent experience.

Bridget-Class of 2014

It was a "magical" kind of day when Bridget came in for her senior session last month!  We feel like Bridget has been a part of the Miroslavich Photography family forever since we first photographed her 6 years ago.  Of course, the session wouldn't have been complete without Brady the dog tagging along!  (how sweet is he?!?!)  We loved incorporating Bridget's favorite things including the piano and her love of anything Disney.  Here's to a great senior year, Bridget!! We hope it brings you everything you wish for!

Introducing Saturday photo sessions this fall!!

It is shaping up to be an exciting fall at Miroslavich Photography!   For the first time ever, we are offering Saturday photo sessions this fall on the following Saturdays:

Once they are gone, they are gone!

Keeping up with Catherine and Nicholas!

The last time we photographed Catherine and Nicholas, Catherine was twirling around the studio in her tutu, Nicholas was riding his motorized jeep and Zac the dog was not a part of this super fun family!!  Fast forward a few years and we were delighted to have them back in the studio.  Catherine had been a part of our ZOOM Photography Camp for kids last summer so we have enjoyed keeping in touch.  This year it was time to update their portrait wall in their home with new portraits of the kids plus Zac the dog!!  It was a fun spring morning and one of our first times photographing outside this spring.  Ahhh!  It was heartwarming capturing brother and sister together and witnessing the special bond between Nicholas and Zac.  We can't wait to see these images displayed in their home!

Congratulations, Class of 2013

We are so proud of our 2013 High School seniors who have all graduated this past week!  We thought we would showcase some of them on the blog! It is amazing to us how talented and accomplished these young men and women are-and are headed towards amazing futures! Futures that include Baylor University, University of Wisconsin-Madison, The Tisch School of the Arts at NYU just to name a few!!

On that note, we want to extend an invitation to incoming high school seniors to give us a call and set up a time meet with Melissa and discuss your senior portrait session!  It is such a special time and likely the last time you will be photographed for long time! It's the perfect opportunity to showcase your unique style and interests!  We have done some amazing senior sessions incorporating all sorts of interests like music, waterskiing, horseback riding, sculpture art, ballet and even hunting!
