wink photography: November 2013

Sands Family | Minneapolis Family Photographer

>> Wednesday, November 20, 2013 – 2013, 3 year, belly, Elise, fall, family, girl, Kirsten, Luke, maternity, Minneapolis child photographer, Minneapolis maternity photographer, Sands, St. Anthony Main

Okay, seriously. This family is WAY too adorable! I met Kirsten through MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) and was lucky enough to get the chance to photograph her family - Luke, Elise, and baby #2 (coming soon!). We had a great time chatting, walking, and playing around St. Anthony Main. Thanks for an incredible session!

For the Love of the Bump | Minneapolis Maternity Photographer

>> Monday, November 18, 2013 – 2013, Amma, Amma Parenting Center, baby, baby belly, bump, couple, maternity, maternity portraits, mini-maternity

Its no secret that I love baby bellies. Maternity portraits are an incredible opportunity to play with light, shadow, shape, and emotion in images. But even more than that, I am just so constantly amazed at the female body's ability to carry a growing baby and at these women who are about to become mothers for the first, second, third time. It is exciting, awe inspiring, and so very very beautiful.

Dougherty Family | Minneapolis Family Photographer

>> Tuesday, November 12, 2013 – 2013, Dougherty, family, girl, girls, Lily, Lucy, Minneapolis family photography, Natalie, October, on-location, outdoor, Ryan, siblings, Silverwood, sisters

This family wins the award for the best "can-do" attitude of the year. Even though the day of their session was rainy, windy, and cold you would never know it by their enthusiasm. There were a lot of silly faces, laughter, and...oh yes, a bit of dancing from all of us. Thanks for a great session Dougherty family. You rock.

Zak and Tina | Minneapolis Child Photographer

>> Saturday, November 9, 2013 – 2 year, 2013, 3 year, Adan, boy, fall, Minneapolis family photographer, on-location, outdoor, St. Anthony Main, Sunda, Tina Sunda, Zak, Zak Adan

Okay, I love my job. Not only do I get to be outside and take photographs, I get to play with fun, energetic kids and meet a lot of amazing people. Tina and I "clicked" the first time we spoke on the phone and have gotten to know each other better since then and I like her even more with each conversation. I've photographed her and her gorgeous son, Zak, for two years now. And when I say I get to play with energetic kids, I mean Zak. He is a busy boy and kept us running the whole session - whew! It was a blast! :)

Tina told me that she considers me her family photographer for all of Zak's youth. Ah... what better compliment could there be? I am so honored to hold such an important role for their family and I can hardly wait to see them again for their next session!
