A Snowy day

Was it possible that we actually had snow in the Twin Cities this year? Yes, we did and this photo session took place on one of those rare days shortly after a stunningly beautiful snowfall. The kind of snow that sticks to tree and sparkles in the sun. Of course, not nearly as pretty and sparkly as 2 year old Emerson and her sweet personality! The last time we saw Emerson, she was 6 months old. Now she is a big 2 year old girl -running, laughing and not loving her mittens!! Oh, to be 2 again! We are so glad we captured some moments in the snow with Emerson this winter! Magical.

Happy #10 Anniversary, Jill and Mike!!

Jill and Mike wanted to celebrate 10 years of wedded bliss in style!! They asked us if we could help them recreate their wedding photos by creating stunning, romantic images at the Como Conservatory where their wedding took place 10 years ago. To say the least, we were thrilled. Jill and Mike are a beautiful couple and the more you get to know them, the more you can see how truly in love they are. 10 years of marriage and 3 kids later, they still exude happiness and love-through it all. We picked a snowy day in December (which was a miracle during a winter where we have had so little snow in Minnesota), Jill and Mike came decked out in wedding attire (Jill wore her actual wedding dress!!) and even braved the elements as we trekked through snow up a hill to get some magnificent outdoor images. This had to be one of our favorite sessions of 2011. Happy 10 years, Mike and Jill!! We can't wait to help you celebrate more milestone anniversaries in the years to come!!

SNOW session Day-February 20th!

February 20th is the day! SNOW SESSION DAY!! We are missing one key ingredient .... snow!! But we have faith that if we plan it, snow will come!! We have a limited number of sessions left so schedule yours soon! Since it is President's Day, the kids are off school-what better way to spend some time that day?

We have a limited number of snow sessions left(10 sessions maximum). We have been taking 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.

Call us at 651.343.4823 to schedule your session time! And in the meantime, keep your fingers crossed for snow!!

APRIL SNOW DAY!

April fools and we weren't joking! In an attempt to honor the cold weather we are currently having (hopefully for the last time this spring), I thought I would post some of my favorite images from the special storybook session we created on April Fool's Day this year. Amy has a wonderful family, and we decided to celebrate their fun-loving nature with the story of her family hanging out together in the beautiful snow, playing, wrestling, sledding and then heading back to the cozyness of home for hot chocolate. Together. All the kids were happy to accomodate our silly requests, and really dad and mom were kids too! Thanks for the fun gang, we know you will enjoy your storybook for years to come - even if those years put you on a beautiful beach in sunny summer weather.

Snow Day

In honor of a snowy day today, I thought I would share this image I created earlier this winter on a different snow day. I saw this one single tree in the middle of an off-ramp and thought it looked lonely and wise. It has probably seen it's fair share of MN nice and not-so-nice. No worries - I wasn't actually driving at the time!
