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!

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.

This Saturday April 10th -Stories Event!!!! (Twin Cities Photographer)

Yippee! This weekend is our 3rd annual event to celebrate spring, have fun with the kids and give back to our community. It is being held on Saturday April 10th from 10am - 12 noon at the studio. Feel free to park in the lot adjacent to the building. We are inviting clients, friends and family to attend and have a great time!

The charity we have chosen to support this year is Dakota Woodlands. Dakota Woodlands is a non-profit organization who supply shelter for homeless families in our community. Typically families stay an average two months in the facility and they provide temporary housing for up to 110 families a year. In November of 2009, Dakota Woodlands was awarded the 2009 Minnesota Nonprofit Excellence Award. We are so honored and excited to be working with them -what a wonderful organization! http://www.dakotawoodlands.org/

Dakota Woodlands is asking for our help in collecting $5 gift cards to local gas stations and grocery stores. We have set a goal for us to collect 145 gift cards at our Stories event and we think we can do it - with your help!! Or, if you would prefer to make a monetary donation, we will purchase the gift card(s) on your behalf! I know our kids have already dipped into their piggy banks to count out their $5!

Also in support of Dakota Woodlands, we will be having a small silent auction with items such as digital picture frames, a camping gear package, a board game package...just to name a few!

Of course, back by popular demand, we will have an amazing facepainter (who is an artist herself!) and storyteller, balloon maker! The kids (and grown ups) were blown away by the entertainment last year and it will be super great this year too.

And if that wasn't enough, we will also be featuring the local businesses of Doodle Dot Designs by Tricia Prodoehl (handmade children's clothing and accessories to die for!), Stella and Dot Jewelry with stylist Allison Carl (who doesn't need some new spring jewels?!) and the debut of Bath Bars by Brynn.

So, mark your calendars and be sure to stop by for a fun filled morning with us! Everyone is invited... clients, friends, friends of friends. Can't wait to see you and celebrate
