Celebrating sisters!

We were so fortunate to meet this cute family recently after they were the winning recipient of our donated gift certificate at the Luther College Silent Auction! We love supporting education and schools! And we get to meet the best families!!

Sisters Brynn, 8, and Elise, 5, were a hoot to hang out with and photograph! Is there anything cuter than sisters?!?  They chatted Melissa up about everything girly-including dance, gymnastics, ballet, books and art! We wish they could have stayed all day!!  We loved watching the interaction between the sisters and the love and silliness that ensues!

Emily- Class of 2015

Can you believe that we photographed our first high school senior of the season in April?!?  Every year, senior photo session season gets earlier and earlier-and we couldn't be more excited!  The energy and excitement that these incredible young people bring to the studio is so revitalizing for us! (Especially after the long, hard winter we just experienced in the midwest!!)  We can't think of a better senior (or technically junior!!) to kick off the season with!! Emily was so sweet and lovely with the most gorgeous smile ever!  We can't wait to meet Emily's friends and classmates this summer for their senior session!!

Peek a boo- Evan is (not quite!) Two!!

As this sibling pair gets ready for a brand new baby brother due any day now, they came into the studio recently to capture Evan at 18 months of age and his big sis, Halle, at 12 years old!  Evan is a guy who LOVES his diggers and tractors-so much so we thought having his big tractor at the session would be super fun!!  Evan was initially perplexed about how (and why?) his prized possession was at the studio- and maybe even a little worried it wouldn't make it home?!?!  Although capturing Evan and his interaction with the tractor was priceless!!  Big sister Halle is becoming such a lovely young lady and hammed it up for the camera but letting us place the crown on her head-because what 12 year old doesn't still want to be a princess?!?  We can't wait til Halle turns 13 this fall so we can plan a photo session just for her!!!  And that new sibling- stay tuned for newborn images on the blog very soon!! TO BE CONTINUED......

Pretty in Pink!

So far, 2014 has been the year of babies!! Newborns, 6 month olds, nearly year old babes- you name it!   With each new baby, we marvel at the new-ness and sweetness of each one! Baby Lauren came to us at just a few days old with her family including big brother Jack who is all of 21 months old. After almost 2 years of little boy cuteness, Mom is certainly excited to be adding pink into the mix!  And it seems to be Lauren's color! Next up-Jack's 2 year old session this summer when Lauren is closer to 6 months old and when we can be basking in the summer sun!!
And keep posted for more baby session blogs coming soon!  We can't get enough of these babies!!

Border Collie Fun!

Roni is a 6 year old border collie with so much personality and spunk!  Her owner, Tom, contacted us awhile back to set up this session to capture Roni.   Tom has had all of his pets photographed around this same age and proudly displays them in his home. He knew that Roni is the "perfect" age for her portraits.  We couldn't agree more! She was darling and so well behaved!!  The result? Stunning portraits of Roni - and some lovely images of Tom and Roni together that are so heartwarming.  We can't wait to meet Tom's other dog, Sarge, once Sarge is ready for his photography debut!!  

Sweet kisses!!

Who wouldn't want to smother this little guy with kisses?!?!  We loved having Greyson to the studio for his 6 month portraits-and little did we know that not only was he sitting up on his own, but he was also crawling, pulling himself up on furniture and generally motoring around quite well!!  (let's just say, he has got great genes!!) We created the BEST VALENTINES CARD EVER for this sweet family to send out this year!
We can't wait to see what Greyson is doing when he comes back for his year old portraits this summer! (at this rate, he may be running marathons!!)

A little Jamaica on a cold day!!

On this cold wintery day in Minnesota, we thought everyone could use a little bit of "Jamaica" to warm them up!! Jamaica, our furry friend, that is!!  Jamaica warmed our hearts a few weeks ago when she and her owner, Mark, came to the studio for her very own photo session! Jamaica's older "brother", Parker (who is a bit of a rock star himself in the studio with his very own collage on display!) had his own photo session awhile back so now it was Jamaica's turn! All decked out with a gorgeous hot pink collar, Jamaica dazzled us during her session!!  Her portraits will now be added to Parker's portraits at home to make it complete.  Next up: Parker and Jamaica together someday soon!!!

Isaac is sitting up!!

Baby Isaac came back to us not long ago once he was sitting up like a big boy all on his own!  How sweet is he?  Of course, he brought his toy elephant with him to this session. Remember these adorable images from Isaac's newborn session? Click here:

The session wouldn't be complete without big brother John coming along, too!  Love these brothers!  We cannot wait to see Isaac at his one year old session later this year!  So fun to see this lovely family!!

Best of Woodbury 2014

Last week, we got all dressed up and had a night out on the town as we were invited to the Best of Woodbury Awards as Miroslavich Photography was nominated for Best Photographer.  Votes were cast by readers of the Woodbury Magazine last fall.  We were super thrilled to be nominated as the studio moved to Woodbury just over a year ago!  So, you can imagine our delight and excitement when it was announced that Miroslavich Photography WON!!!  Melissa hurried on stage to accept the award among many of our local business friends and acquaintances!  What an awesome evening!  Not only was it a huge honor to be awarded Best Photographer but to socialize and be in the presence of other amazing local businesses was such a pleasure!  Thank you to all of our clients, families and friends who voted us Best Photographer!  We are so fortunate to be a part of such an incredible community!!  THANK YOU!!!
