Glowing | Minneapolis St. Paul Maternity and Newborn Photographer

I cannot think of a better title than “glowing” for this absolutely stunning mama-to-be. She makes it look so easy, but I know from experience that while a blessing, pregnancy is not easy. 🙂 We had a really great studio session, and I just love the simplicity of these images. I’m so excited to meet their baby girl soon! Stay tuned!

P.S. I may be updating my watermark. Yea or nay?

Vicki + Scott | Lakeville and Destination Wedding Photographer

Vicki and Scott, a wonderful couple that I got the great privilege of working with at their January wedding. The bride looked absolutely stunning! Vicki and Scott found each other after both losing their spouses. It’s is sad to think about but at the same time, so amazing to see the love they shared and how happy they make each other.  I was honored to be their wedding photographer. Congratulations to you both! I hope you had a wonderful honeymoon in London!

 

30 Day Photo Challenge, Week 2

This week’s photo challenges were really fun, but a little more challenging to find creative subjects since I am 1.) no longer traveling, and 2.) back to work and busy life. Here goes!

 

Day 8:: A Bad Habit. As I looked at the list to see Day 8 to read “bad habit,” I took a drink of my Diet Coke w Lime and thought, this day’s going to be hard! I don’t have many bad habits…the irony! I’ve been experimenting with textures, if you can’t tell. Also, this was taken on our kitchen’s butcher block island, and you may notice that someone got a hold of the crayons when I wasn’t looking. Thank goodness for the Magic Eraser!

Day 9:: Someone I Love. Well my heart is tied, fifty-fifty, with my two girls. But I just love her squinty-eye smile! We thoroughly enjoyed a few days of warmer weather last week!

Day 10:: Childhood Memory. Candyland. Did you ever wonder why there was no candy in the box?

Day 11:: Something Blue. I’ve always wanted a little jewelry dish in my bathroom. I finally found the perfect one when we were in Santa Monica.

Day 12:: {after} sunset. Someone just turned three!

Day 13:: Yourself with 13 Things. This day was tricky. I”m pretty sure there are at least 13 things in this picture.

Day 14:: Eyes. I love a good picture with a strong focus on the eyes, yet not overly edited (I learned this the hard way).

‘Till next week!

xox,

Vinny is 6 Months | Minneapolis Studio Baby Photographer

Isn’t he the cutest little man? Little Vinny is another of my awesome baby planners who came in for his 6-month session last weekend. LOVE the outfits and hats! Just the right mix of simple and style. At six months, I like to do about half of the pictures in the nude, and half in clothes. Can’t wait to see him again for his 9-month pictures!
