Two brothers!

These brothers met up with me for their session on what turned out to be one of the most beautiful mornings this summer!  With a prior week of pure humidity, the rain pushed that aside to make way for a perfect day!  It was a treat to photograph these super handsome boys!  While the oldest was full of smiles, the younger brother pulled at my heartstrings with the cutest, big-blue-eyed serious looks!  I'm a sucker for the serious expressions, I admit.  I love what we captured that morning!  Thanks for spending your morning with me, boys!

Darling young girl!

I am getting a little behind on updating my blog now that summer has started.  I can't wait any longer to post a few images of this darling young girl.  Getting ready to enter a pageant this summer, she needed some updated photographs!  She has the sweetest personality and so much talent....including playing the drums!  No doubt that she will do great at the pageant!  Now, let me share a peek of what we captured on a warm (ok, that is being mild...hot evening).  You were a trooper and did a great job!!



The light was amazing and shooting with backlight made for some gorgeous images!

I do!

This lovely couple said 'I do" this weekend.  Their day was full of details as they shared their love with family and friends and entered into the sacrament of marriage.  I loved capturing the wedding day of this darling couple.  Here's a sneak peek from their summer wedding....

A perfect evening!

This beautiful couple were recently married in Jamaica and brought some of the warm sun back with them for their family session!  What a perfect evening!  This little four year old could not have been sweeter.  I showed her my box of props, hats and bows and she was having a ball choosing the 'super fancy' (as she called it) accessories....a little girl after my own heart!  Here's just a sneak peek for you:

more 'super fancy' for this little one with her feathered headband!

A teenage session!

This was a fun opportunity to capture images of this young teenager who just happens to be the daughter of a photographer friend.  We worked a double session recently which gave me the chance to work with her darling daughter!!  I love what we captured that afternoon and so enjoyed meeting this sweet girl!  Here's a sneak peek:  

Celebrating Eleven!

This month we had a celebration in the house!  Streamers, candles, cake and all!  Celebrating her eleventh birthday, my daughter's busy schedule was almost too full to fit in a birthday session.  Somehow the stars aligned and in short notice we managed to carve out a little pocket of time before the month of April was over!   I can hardly believe she turned 11 years old!!  It's been a treat to watch her learn, grow and try new things.  I treasure this time with her!!  Happy Birthday to my wonderful daughter!

Next Stop....Graduation!

It's been such a treat to have an early spring this year in Minnesota!  We found the perfect evening for this handsome High School Senior's session!  I so enjoy working with High School Seniors.  It's such a pivotal point in a young person's life.  This senior comes from a large family but wanted to get a few shots of him with his youngest sister, someone very special to him.  I love what we captured!!  Best of luck to you in your bright future!  Here's a quick peek from your session:

These are precious....she loves her big brother!

More fun in Arizona!

I do love the desert, but that is not all that Arizona has to offer.  We headed downtown Tempe and strolled along Mill Aveune to capture more of that urban look.  There is so much character to that area every street and alley we walked.  I had so much fun spending time with my two nieces!!  They are growing up so quickly and are the nicest little girls!  I wish I could visit more often!  Here a little peek from our trip to Tempe!  Enjoy!! 

One of my favorites.....

and a few more from the desert....

Just gorgeous, isn't she?

A desert session

I have always been attracted to the desert landscape.  Maybe because it is so unique and different from the midwest.  I am fortunate enough to have family in Arizona and get the opportunity to travel to my favorite part of the country fairly often.  I am even more fortunate to have two adorable little subjects to photograph - my nieces!   I was so inspired by the warm weather, sunshine and these two sweethearts!  This is a little mini-session in the desert, which I quickly learned even though the ground looks dry and flat, it is in fact full of little hidden prickles from nearby cactus and prickly plants (yikes).  Enjoy your sneak peek, girls!! xoxoxo
