Bleu the cat!

It was a lovely, sun-filled early winter morning when we went to Lois' beautiful home to capture Bleu in their home.   The snow had not yet started to fall and the sun streamed through the windows in their sunroom-we couldn't have asked for more delicious lighting!  Bleu was photographed in her surroundings- having a treat, relaxing in front of the fire, lounging on the stairs and even playing with her toy mouse.  Most importantly, we captured Bleu's relationship with Lois and that was the most special part of the day.  We are so happy that we have been able to create these portraits as a loving memories of sweet Bleu. 

Liam is ONE!!!

Liam is a busy one year old little guy and having a ball learning to walk/run and explore his world!!  We photographed Liam when he was 3 months old, 8 months old and now that he is walking, we photographed him on location at a local park.  Liam LOVES trucks and was very intent on playing with the trucks they brought to the session-it was adorable!  Of course, his "fur-sibling" Murphy also accompanied the family to the session and loved being photographed as well!! We have loved watching Liam over the past year and look forward to seeing him grow over the next few years as well!!

The faces of Wild Child Hair!!

Since Wild Child Hair opened in Woodbury in 2009, we have been thrilled to decorate their walls with Miroslavich Photography portraits as part of our displays.  Each year we switch out images and we always love hearing the reactions and excitement the staff (and their clients!) have when new portraits go up!  Many of clients go to Wild Child for their kids' haircuts and we have met many new clients as a result of their referrals!! So, it was only fitting that Melissa Fink, Wild Child's owner, had her two sweet girls come to the studio this summer for a session! Bridget and Chelsea had a blast - Chelsea loved playing up the camera while Bridget was initially a little more reserved until she realized what fun her sister as having!!  Three new portraits of the girls are now proudly displayed in Wild Child.  Make sure to check out Wild Child for your next haircuts!! http://wildchildhair.com/

Dog vs Cat - Who gets your vote?

This past summer, we were honored to be asked by the Animal Humane Society to photograph their Fall Campaign-which, of course, had an "election" spin because of the upcoming presidential elections this November.  "Vote to Adopt" Campaign was very well received and it was exciting for us to see it on local billboards, city buses and in magazines.  We had a blast photographing it-and coming up with "presidential" props and settings.  So, if you had to vote....Dog or Cat?  We want to know!!

Ted

Sweet Ted.  Ted's owner, Sally, saw Melissa on Twin Cities Live one night when they were re-broadcasting a segment that featured Miroslavich Photography.  We are so glad that Sally couldn't sleep that night and caught our segment!  We are delighted to have met both Sally and her Ted.  Ted truly is a sweet, lovely pet.  He has eyes that are all knowing and so kind looking.  We also loved all of his darling curls.  We know Sally will cherish these images forever. 

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!!

A new puppy to love!!!

Meet Lena!! Lena is so lucky to have been adopted into such a loving family with four kiddos to cuddle and care for her! Lena arrived in the late fall and came into the studio soon after to have puppy photos taken-she loved the attention and indulged us by making her up as a girly-girl. I think she rather enjoyed the pink princess chair, don't you? We can't wait to see Lena again when she is all grown!! Congratulations!!

February 20th-SNOW SESSION DAY!!!!

The date has been set-now all we have to do is make sure we keep our snow (and get more!!) Monday February 20th (President's Day) is the day we have chosen for our Snow Session Day! Since all kids will be off school, what a better way to spend some time that day?!

We have had so many requests from our clients for sessions in the snow, we thought we would finally do it this winter. We live in a cold weather climate-so many of us love all that winter has to offer. We all have memories of pond skating, skiing, snowman building, hockey, snow angels and who could forget hot cocoa? Embrace winter. Embrace the snow. Make memories. Let us help you preserve these memories.

We are offering a limited number of snow sessions (10 sessions maximum). We will take reservations on a first come-first serve basis. Location to be determined. Each session will be approximately 20 minutes. Session fee is $45 per family and due at the time of booking. We encourage fun hats, colorful scarves and silly mittens.

If February 20th is not a good day for you, give us a call anyway, and we may be able to make other arrangements for a different day.

Ordering sessions at the studio to view and order your images will be scheduled approximately one week following the snow session.

We have already scheduled almost half of our 10 sessions so call us soon at 651.343.4823 to get in while we still have sessions! And in the meantime, keep your fingers crossed that we can keep this snow!!

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!!

Tabitha

Back in the spring, we were pleased to photograph many of our furry friends from Dog Days (http://www.dogdaysinc.com/) in St Paul. We met so many new friends with great personalities and sweet furry faces! Tabitha is a 9 1/2 year old Samoyed/chow mix who stole our hearts with her sweet demeanor. She loved having her photo taken and smiled through most of the session. Her owner, Kelly, is one of many of the fabulous employees at Dog Days. We loved meeting all of you!!

Curls. Curls. Curls.

Emerson is now 4 years old and we can hardly believe it?!? We fell in love with those big brown eyes when we first met her as a baby and have loved seeing her grow up over the past few years! And those curls couldn't be more gorgeous. Women pay good money at a salon to get those curls!! Does she know how lucky she is? A darling 4 year old with a sweet personality to match. What could be better?

Playful Parker!

Parker loved being photographed! (and we were equally loving photographing him!) We so enjoyed meeting Parker and his owner, Mark-what a pleasure! Parker is a gorgeous schnoodle with personality plus! We are so glad that Mark saw our display at Dog Days in St Paul and decided to bring Parker in for one of our Dog Days of March sessions. We are looking forward to photographing Parker again at the end of the summer for some "urban dog" images to compliment the stunning portrait now displayed in Mark's home. See you soon, Parker!
