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!!

Jennifer-Class of 2012

It was during Jennifer's planning session prior to her high school senior photo session that she shared with us that she wanted to incorporate her passion for horseback riding into her senior portraits...and we couldn't have been more excited! Two of our favorite things-senior sessions and horses!! What could be better?!? Jennifer's session took place on a beautiful fall day at Kinni Valley Riding Academy (thanks, Carolyn!! http://www.kinnivalleyacademy.com/ ). Jennifer is a senior at the Agricultural and Food Sciences Academy in the Twin Cities and will graduate this spring-we can't wait to see what the future holds for her!! Best of luck, Jennifer!!

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?!?

Three blonde cuties!!!

How cute are these three blondies? Adeline. Eli. Stella. We have known this family for just over a year and can't get enough of them! This was our first outdoor session with them and so fun to watch them discover their surroundings and explore. Running, chasing, jumping, posing, climbing, giggling. It doesn't get much better than that. We can't wait for their next session-with mom and dad this time!!

Announcing upcoming Snow Sessions!

We are excited to announce our upcoming Miroslavich Photography Snow sessions...we are just missing one key ingredient. SNOW. However, we are in Minnesota and it is only a matter of time before we get a big dumping of snow, so no worries!

As soon as we do get snow, we are planning to have a day of snowy sessions! 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. Date and location to be determined once we know we have a good snowfall in the forecast. 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. Depending on the snow, we are aiming to have the snow sessions take place the week of Feb 6th.(fingers crossed!)


If the date we choose is not good for you once we schedule the date, your session fee is 100% refundable. We will have a wait list to call should we have openings.

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 reserve your spot for a snow session! In the meantime, do a little snow dance, pray to the snow Gods or do whatever it takes to get us some snow!!

Is it January already?!?

We can hardly believe that it is January already! The fall and the holidays seemed to have flown by-in fact, we are still very behind on posting many of the fabulous fall photo sessions we had so since it is a new year, we are going to start off by getting caught up! (it certainly doesn't help that even though it is January, we are experiencing record highs for Minnesota so the fall doesn't seem that long ago!)

We photographed this super fun family on a cool October day and had fun with their three kiddos and dog, Clyde. Mom coordinated their outfits superbly - if we ever need clothing consultations, we know who to call!! We have enjoyed getting to know this family-Lucas, Olivia and Logan were a ton of fun to photograph and were such great sports on a chilly day! Their portraits are going to be stunning in their beautiful home!

Happy New Year 2012!!

Happy 2012!! We are back in the studio after what seemed like a quick but restful holday break....and we are ready to start the new year! Exciting things planned for 2012-first up, Imaging USA in New Orleans next week! (more about that later!)

We thought we would start off the year with a peek at the Animal Humane Society's annual calendar. Way back last summer, Melissa was asked to photograph 13 different animals to be featured in the calendar. We were super excited to have the honor of photographing such a big and important project for our friends at AHS. Over the course of several days, various animals graced our studio space-puppies, cats, even bunnies (how cute are these bunnies?!?!)to be photographed for specific months in the calendar. We actually should have photographed the studio during these sessions-it got rather crazy at times. And I am sure the other tenants in our building must think that we were turning into an animal kennel! That said, we loved every second of it and so enjoy our time working with the Animal Humane Society. We can't say enough good things about them and all that they do! Thank you, AHS, for the opportunity to photograph these darling animals!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Nate - Class of 2012

Really this blog entry should be entitled Nate the Great as we are a big fan of this high school senior! Nate came to us as a referral from another awesome senior at his high school. From the moment we met Nate (and his mom!) we knew it was going to be a fun session. Nate is a basketball fan and brought his collection of super cool sneakers to the session which we had to capture. In addition to that, Nate has a passion and talent for beatboxing which he also brought with him. Melissa and I were very intrigued to learn more!! It never ceases to amaze us how amazingly talented and interesting the seniors we get to meet! We so loved working with Nate-we know there are great things in your future, Nate, and we look forward to seeing what adventures await you.

Animal Tracks magazine

We love our friends at the Animal Humane Society (AHS)! 2011 has been an exciting year of partnership for us with the AHS-we have more to share with you in the New Year but until then, we thought we would share with you the latest cover of the AHS magazine, "Animal Tracks". Animal Tracks is the AHS magazine that is published 3 times a year. Click on the link here to see more images: http://www.animalhumanesociety.org/ATFallWinter11


In addition to the cover, we were excited to be driving to the studio from a location photo session earlier this month and see one of Melissa's images from our recent AHS photo session on a billboard close to the studio. In fact, we were driving when Melissa let out a squeal that frightened the daylights out of me! The squeal was a result of turning a corner and facing this billboard! What a great surprise! And how cool to see a Miroslavich Photography image on a billboard!! We just had to share....
