Moving Day!

I finally used my down time this summer to get my new blog site up and rolling. Cheak out my new digs, please!

[Real] Kate + Eric + Kids

My last nice-weather-session of the fall turned out to be one of my favorites. My sweet friend Kate wanted some fun and real family photos and I was happy to help. We only had about 45 minutes to shoot before the sun went down - and these are some of my favorites for the whole year. Enjoy and be well, friends.

[Welcome] These girls; This season

Isn't it always a good thing to make some new friends? These sweet girls and their parents are new to town and asked me to take their annual photos. What an honor! The weather was chilly but the girls (being brave and hearty souls from Maine) were up to the task. Thanks again for being part of my day and enjoy Minnesota and the winter season.

[On This Fall Day] Bright + Sunny

The end of the warm fall days was upon us and these two cuties did their best to keep from shivering. Thankfully, some surprises from my pockets helped coax a few smiles and then ran off happily to be on with their day - while their parents will have a bit longer to enjoy the memory of this darling age. It was great to meet you!

[Growing] This moment in St. Paul

If there's a modern version of the Welcome Wagon, its my friend Erin. There could not have been a better person to befriend when we moved to St. Paul five years ago. And, she is also responsible for teaching me to knit!!

So great to see her boys growing and turning into such handsome, polite little men.

And I think it's also safe to mention that my dear sweet friend is also growing her family - with baby #3. I am beyond thrilled for all of them. Doesn't she look amazing?

[Friends] Old + New

One of my long lost friends found me on Faceback last year and we reconnected. We were high school classmates, then college roomates (oh, the stories we could tell). She married her high school sweetheart and now I have three new friends in my life. Love to you all!

[Fall] Fall portraits at the Falls

I met up with this fun family for some fall photos recently at Minnehaha Falls (say that 5 times as fast as you can!). The little guy was all smiles for me and we had a great time exploring the park. Thanks again!
