Jordin is one! | Minneapolis Family Photographer

One year olds are SO fun! I wish they could stay at this age just a little longer. They are so interactive and their personalities are really coming out, but they are still babies at the same time, with chunky thighs and wobbly walks. Ahhh... I just adore them. 

It was such a delight to photograph Jordin for her one year portraits and birthday party. She is such a doll, with a sweet temperament and a big smile. Thanks to James, Smilin and Jordin. You are a lovely family!

Baby Matthew | Minneapolis Newborn Photographer

I love love LOVE watching families grow and change over the years. I photographed this family about a year and a half ago and had such a delightful time with them and their older son, Oliver. I was overjoyed when they contacted me to do newborn photos of the newest addition to their family, baby Matthew.

It was a wonderful morning of chatting about gardening with Paul, commiserating about all things motherhood with Carol, goofing around with Oliver (this kid is SERIOUSLY funny!), and drooling over little Matthew. This family is so loving, open, and comfortable that I felt like I was with my own family. I was even requested for hugs and high fives before Oliver's nap time!

Congratulations to Carol, Paul, and Oliver on Matthew's arrival. He is just perfect.

Pare Family | Minneapolis Family Photographer

I am so lucky to have Annette as a fellow photographer and friend. At least once a year, we swap photography services. She did my family photos a couple months ago and recently returned the favor.

She always does such a wonderful job working with my family and creating beautiful images. I currently have her work in four rooms in our house, two of which are large print clusters. In fact, having those images on my walls is what has convinced me of the importance of printing/displaying images. I absolutely adore seeing them on the walls, reminding me constantly of all the things I love about my family (even when they are sitting in the same room and driving me nuts!)

To be honest, I get a little nervous when it is my turn to photograph her family. I just want her to love her images as much as I love mine. But, the nervousness fades when we start shooting. They are such open, relaxed, REAL people and I genuinely enjoy the time I get to spend with them. Thanks Annette and Dan. I hope you love your images.

Black Family | Minneapolis Familiy Photographer

The Black family was so fun to play with and photograph. They were laid back and silly and we were incredibly lucky to have a perfect night in Centennial Lakes Park. Lily was interested in everything we saw and little Julia is on the move and oh so smily! Pretty sure my cheeks were sore from smiling after this session. Thanks for being awesome!
