Kim - Class of 2013

We've said it before but I will say it again-we get to meet the BEST high school seniors every year!  These seniors have it all together and have so many talents, it always amazes us!  Kim is a high school senior who dazzled us with her personality and love of the arts.  Her vintage flair and passion for theater and literature was incorporated into her session which made it so uniquely Kim!  We know that  Kim is exploring her options for colleges for next fall and we cannot wait to see where she ends up!!  Congrats, Kim!!

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.

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!!

Saint Paul Fall skyline

We were thrilled when this family asked us to photograph them with the city of Saint Paul's skyline as the backgroup to their portraits! We love working in and around Saint Paul-it is really a pretty city. And the skyline is the perfect backdrop! Brother and sister, Garrett and Brooke, were great to work with-and what can be better than Garrett's partially toothless grin?!?

With love from Saint Paul

It was very special for this family to be together for this session. A busy family with a son entering his senior year of high school and a daughter jetting off back to college out east, it was the perfect time to get everyone together to capture some family moments. And what better place to do it than along the shore of the Mississippi with the beautiful Saint Paul skyline in the background. It was heartwarming for us to see brother and sister so close- real togetherness despite the miles that might separate them during the school year. Good luck to both of you this school year!

Missing: Two front teeth!!

Is there anything cuter than missing top front teeth?!? Natalie had lost hers just prior to her photo session with younger brother, Jack. This sweet stage is really just a fleeting moment in time because before you know it, those grown up teeth are there! In fact, when Natalie and her mom came to pick up their framed portraits a couple of weeks ago, those grown up teeth were already almost fully in! So glad that her mom and dad have these portraits to remind them of her precious toothless grin! Natalie and Jack were fun siblings to get to know and to photograph! We love Jack's energy and enthusiasm for life! We wish them luck as their family prepares for a big move this fall!! Hoping everything goes smoothly!!

Spring into Summer!

This was a gorgeous session that took place just as spring became summer in Minnesota! And what a great family to kick off the summer with! A darling brother and sister, super sweet parents and an adorable pup named Hudson (after Hudson, Wisconsin, of course!) We started off in the studio and then moved outside for the rest of the session-there is something about photographing outside in Minnesota when the weather becomes great that really makes sessions feel special. It helped that this was a fun family - you can really tell that they love spending time together.

Jax is one!!!

We are loving these brothers!!! It has been incredible for us to see this family grow over the past year and a half. When we first met them, Baby Jax was still in mom's belly so we created beautiful family of 3 portraits of them. How special was that? At that time, Jose was 2 years old and life as he knew it was about to change with the arrival of a baby brother! Over the past year, we have witnessed the relationship of these sweet brothers develop and grow. And now that Jax is one, it is all about playing together and discovering new things to do and play with. Creating art for their home has been such a joy and we look forward to adding to their collection in the years to come. Happy Birthday, Jax!!

Zoom Photography Camp for Kids!

June 13-16, 2011 9:30am-12:30pm daily

We are excited to bring back Zoom Camp for Kids this summer! We first introduced Zoom Camp in the summer of 2009 and it was a great success! As a result, we have decided to offer it again (partly because Melissa and I had so much fun doing it as well)! And it has been great following our former campers over the past couple of years and see how much they have grown in their photography talents!

The camp will be held at our Saint Paul studio location, in addition to local Saint Paul locations within walking distance of the studio.

During the week we will be creating a portfolio of images that will be displayed at the Zoom Art Show by the campers on Thursday June 23 in the evening (this was definitely one of the big highlights of camp last time). Images will demonstrate knowledge gained of basic composition, camera controls, location shooting and portraiture. Each camper must bring a digital camera (SLR preferred).

Registration fee: $255 required upon enrollment (enrollment is limited and on a first come first served basis)
Call 651.343.4823 to register!

Two boys, a baby girl and a whole lot of fun!!

These three cuties are regulars on our blog over the years and we LOVE when they come visit us at the studio! Baby sister Eleanor is now 6 months old (yes, hard to believe-she is incredibly tall but then again, she has tall genes!!) and is the princess of the family. Big brothers Brennan and Davis love entertaining her and making her laugh! It was easy to see that Eleanor has daddy wrapped around her finger-precious! I am sure the holidays will be full of fun at their house-i can only imagine Christmas morning!
