Beautiful Day for playing in the leaves!

The Merriest Christmas to all my clients, friends and brides to be!  Looking forward to a busy, fun and fabulous 2011!

Baby Grant is one of the easiest going, happiest kiddos ever!  He was full of personality and smiles, and I am so glad we did this quick shoot before all the snow fell!

I had the pleasure of photographing Claire and her family in celebration of her Bat Mitzvah.

A beautiful evening and a new haircut.  Two good reasons for a photoshoot!

What could be better than a new pair of Converse sneakers in your Easter basket?

I opened my eyes and looked at the rain,

And it dripped in my head, and flowed into my brain,

And all that I hear as I lie in my bed,

Is the slishity-slosh of the rain in my head

I step very softly. I walk very slow,

I can’t do a handstand–I might overflow,

So pardon the wild crazy thing I just said–

I’m just not the same since there’s rain in my head.

-Shel Silverstein

Isn’t this the coolest face painting ever!  My son came home from a friend’s birthday party and I couldn’t resist sharing this image of my little tiger.

For a house with three brothers, these adorable boys were so calm and sweet for their photos.  Baby Grant was the star, and at 6 months old he is so sweet and good natured.  Zane and Conner adore him and were so good at keeping him happy and comfy.  All that beautiful blond hair and those blue eyes – what true little Minnesotans!  I hope they enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Photographing my dear friend Chrissy’s family reminded me that we were not too much older than her twins when we first became friends. She is like another sister to me, and I couldn’t imagine life without her.  Her adorable kids couldn’t be more opposite of each other – Alexia is calm and likes to keep everything in order.  Bobby doesn’t sit still for an instant before he is off and running.  We rushed a bit to get these photos taken, but I think their personalities were well captured.
