A First Birthday!

Birthday's are fun...especially first birthdays!  And, this was extra fun for me as I was able to photograph this little guy's family last year during a maternity session when he was still in his mommy's tummy.  I then met him at his newborn session and again photographed him at six months!!  He's such a cutie and has gained his own little fan club amongst a few of you that follow my blog!  And, here he is....the birthday boy!!   Happy first birthday!

My new office artwork

My New Year's Resolution was to work on my office space.  I have been on the look out for the perfect artwork for my walls.  After a few months of not finding what I wanted I thought why not create my own art?  I've always had an infatuation with antiques.  Whether it be found at a flea market or in a basement of a grandparent, I find myself drawn to the vintage-type items not only as a piece of history but as a treasure.  I recently added to my vintage camera collection and decided to make them the focus of my new wall art.   This week these images will be framed and added to my walls....thought I'd share my newest treasures

The Argoflex camera was sold from 1948-1951

The Ansco Buster Brown Box camera was sold from 1910-1924

And the Kodak Brownie six -16 was sold between 1933-1941

My Newborn Fix!

Today I got a little newborn fix.....I'm so lucky!!!  There is nothing as sweet as holding a newborn baby.  It's like there is not a care in the world when you have a newborn in your arms.  It's such a precious age and one that only lasts just a few weeks.  Capturing newborns in those first 2 weeks of life are images that parents will treasure for a lifetime!  Thank you for sharing your sweet baby boy with me today!  Here is a quick peek from earlier today....


Look at all his beautiful hair!!!

Lovin' the Desert Backdrop!

I have a thing for the desert.  Always have.  Not sure if it's the dry heat and gorgeous weather or the unique southwest landscape.  You just don't get the prickly cactus, desert palms and beautiful mountains in the midwest.  The desert makes for a gorgeous backdrop and it feels so good to have a session outdoors again!   I was looking so forward to getting a chance to photograph these sweet girls again.  I'm lucky enough to be their Aunt and I only wish that I could get them in front of my camera more often!!  We had so much fun and it was such a treat to spend a whole weekend with them!  I have so many great images to process....but I wanted to get a quick sneak peek up on my blog!!  Thanks for the super fun visit!!

This about Sums it up!

This image about sums up how we felt leaving MN winter and heading southwest for a long weekend!  Just in time to escape some seriously cold winter weather!  We soaked up the warmth and had a great visit to the desert landscape that I just love!!  Surrounded by mountains, cactus, palm trees and red rock....ahhhh, good 'ole Arizona!!
