Three little darlings!

Three little darlings...what can I say?  Cute as can be!  And a huge Kudos to dad - who brought them to their session by himself!  Mom wasn't able to join us but with the weather growing cooler and wanting fall photos of the kids, she sent her husband with the three kiddos to the session!  I couldn't help but picture my husband taking our kids to a photo session without me there to supervise!  That thought actually made me LOL!!  But their dad was cool, calm and collected.  The afternoon went so unbelievably smooth!!  Mom can be so proud of how great her children did and how wonderful her husband was to take on this task....I'm extra excited to show their sneak peek so mom can see what we were up to yesterday!  




I mean seriously, could they be any cuter?


Another gorgeous fall day!

Another gorgeous fall day, another gorgeous HS Senior!  This stylish Senior brought along a little friend for a few of her Senior Photos....her sweet little puppy!  What a perfect morning with still so much color in Minneapolis near the Falls.  This gal was totally fun to photograph and we captured so many great images that it was hard to choose just a few for her sneak peek!  But here they are:

A day in a junkyard!

Well, it was more of an antique junkyard!  I love photographing these kiddos.  They are all friends of each of my own kids and therefore their mom and I are friends by default....although, she is one of the nicest people I know and I'm sure I would have picked her to be my friend even if it weren't for the kids!!  So back to the junkyard.  We made a day trip of it.  Packed seven kids up (mine were with us too) and drove south.  The kids were all off from school so we decided to make a day of it.  I had been trying to schedule their fall session and we decided no better place than an antique junkyard!   And, it worked great!  The kids had SO much to explore that they didn't even realize they were hungry for lunch until well after 2:30pm!  At some point I'll blog my own kids from our trip but now here are these beautiful children!!

Cuteness Factor Running High!

I woke up to a beautiful morning with temps almost in the 50's!  Knowing I had a morning session, I was hoping for a warm start to the day! Whew!  I also woke up with no voice!  Yikes!  Luckily, I had a singing duck puppet that was going to take the place of my voice for getting the attention of these two cuties!  But, these two sweet girls didn't need the silly duck or my voice!  They did great!!  As did the family!  Grabbing the last bit of color from our Minnesota fall, we headed to a gorgeous park!!  Here are just a few from our morning session:  
(see guys, I didn't even mention the 'camping' or 'roughing it' segment of our adventure!)

So grown up!

I can not believe how grown up these sisters are now!  It amazes me because I've known them both since they were babies.  That must mean I'm growing up too!  I had a ball with these two girls!  Despite the windy day we found a great spot protected from the breeze.  I won't sneak peek too many since I know they were looking for a Christmas picture....shhhh, here are just a few:

A Fall Session in Stillwater

There is something about the crisp fall air that is just refreshing!! I have to admit it's a nice change to put away the cropped pants and sandals for jeans and boots.  This adorable HS Senior agrees!  She planned to have her photo session when fall was fully under way and her favorite comfortable cardigan sweaters were appropriate attire.  I had a great time meeting her and her fun family during our walk around Stillwater finding all sorts of neat backdrops!  Here's a quick peek....
wow, just gorgeous! Is it me or does she have a little bit of a Demi Moore look?

Party of Five!

Whenever I get the chance to photograph a lifelong friend it's a special treat!  I've known this gal since college and it's so fun to see her sweet family!  Little did we know back then where our lives would take us and who our children would be.  She and her sweetie just celebrated their wedding anniversary this month (I remember the day like it was yesterday)!  Congratulations you guys!  And, seven years later they have their party of five!  Thank you for the fun evening session!!  Such a beautiful family!


The twins and their big brother....oh so sweet!

An Uptown Session

I encourage HS Seniors to think about their interests and who they really are when they choose a location for their session.  Because I know this HS Senior and his love for the arts and theater I knew he chose the ideal location;  Uptown, Minneapolis.  We had a perfect day to be exploring the alleys and the theater district.  We even checked out the new Guthrie Theater.  I'm sure someday I'll be watching him on stage!  Here's a quick peek from our session.....

and the popular Boutique Luxe style:





Autumn colors in full swing for this family session!

Fall is my absolute favorite time of year and the colors and weather this week is exactly why it gets my vote!  This beautiful family chose the perfect week to deck out in their fall clothes and head out for a sunset session!  Darling, darling, darling family is all I can say!  And their dog....amazingly cooperative!  Wow!  The whole family was so fun (and equally as cooperative as the doggy) to capture!  Here are a few from your session!!


just the cutest family!

A Perfect Fall Morning!

I'm so lucky in that I've met some very cool HS Seniors this year!  This darling girl was one of them!  With Autumn being her ultimate favorite season (mine too), she waited to schedule her session hoping for some fall colors.  I'd say she picked the perfect week!  The colors and the weather have been amazing!  And how fun to have a morning session!  We captured so many neat images and I can't wait to work on them all.  But for now, here is a quick peek from your session!  



Love love love this outfit!!

Handsome HS Senior Ahead!

I warned you....this HS Senior is not only handsome but a really nice guy.  I could tell even after hanging out with him for just a couple of hours that he is a very genuine person.  Sorry ladies, I cannot give out his phone number!  He couldn't have picked a more gorgeous fall day for his session!  Amazing color going on right now in Minnesota!  Here is just a sneak peek from your session!
