Sneak Peak-{B} & {K} Happy 4th of July!

Boy has the rain been tampering on my sessions!!  Luckily I have some pretty awesome parents that are willing to keep rescheduling.  And I was so glad we had with the gorgeous night we had for this shoot.  I loved our location and the kids were so much fun.  The whole session was an absolute breeze, what a change from last year when {K} was at the hard age of not wanting any pictures at all, I couldn't get him to stop smiling the whole time this year.

{B} simply gets more and more gorgeous each and every year...

Can they look any more alike??

And {K} was the best smiler ever!

We got to have a little 4th of July fun too....

Thanks for a fun, fun session!  I really could've taken these two home with me, and I would have.  It's not very often I get hugs at the end of the session <3 br="">

{L} Family

I finally am on the blog again ready to update...sorry I have been absent for so long but I have just been enjoying my summer with my girls...my favorite.  This week has been proving to keep me on my toes but I love it! 
It is always great to see my favorite families coming back every year...and this is one is defininately one of my favorites.  I can't believe how much the little guy {K} has changed in a year.  He sure made us work for his pictures but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE what we ended up with.  And big sister {B} was just perfect...my job would be a synch if they all were like her!

Thanks {L} family...I hope you are amazed by them as much as I am!!  They are some of the cutest kids ever!! 

{R} - 8 months

I am just sneaking a quick post in here as I know that this handsome little guys mom is waiting for a sneak peak....enjoy!!

Now there is just something about this one....love all the baby chub!!

Thanks for letting me capture little {R}...I can't wait for you to see the rest!!

Sneak Peak - {C} Family

I have been so swamped lately that my blog has been slacking, but, I know this family is anxiously waiting on their sneak peak.  I love on-location photo shoots and get even more excited when they have a great prop like this barn.  I will let the pictures speak for themselves....Aren't they the cutest kids ever!

Thanks {C} family for choosing me to capture your family, it was great meeting your beautiful family!

Sneak Peak - {M} Family

I always like it when I get to see the same families every year, and this family is no exception!  Each and every time I see them, they come perfectly dressed and cute as ever...although {B} is handsome :)  Last time I saw them, the littlest was turning 1...oh how much she has grown, I just love her little piggy tails.

Thanks {M} family for letting me capture another year older!  Before we know it, they will be doing their senior pictures ;)

{L} 2013 Red Lake County Central Senior

Just a quick sneak peak for {L}, his mom has patiently been waiting for a glance at his amazing pictures.  We had such a quick, but successful shoot....without further a-do.

Thanks so much for choosing me to capture {L}'s senior photo's, makes me feel really old when I really remember the day he was born, seems like just yesterday!

{Z} - 2013 Red Lake County Central Senior

This session just makes me realize that my kids are going to be grown and out of the house before I know it.  I started babysitting {Z} when he was just a newborn and watched him up until I met Nick.  I am lucky enough to call him my family....I remember just giggling at some of the funny stuff he would do (I better not add it here or he would get mad)  Now he has grown into a great young man and I can't wait to see what his future holds for him!!

Thanks {Z} for choosing me for your senior pictures, I can't believe the difference from the last time I got to capture you and {B}.  They were one of my very first sessions and I hope one day I get to capture his own family ;)

{E} - 2013 Red Lake County Central Senior

This is a long overdue sneak peak...I met up with a couple of friends a couple weeks ago and we traveled the country looking for some fun spots.  I would have to say we definately succeeded in that department.  The pictures speak for themselves!

Thanks {E} for choosing me for your senior pictures...hope you have a blast on your last year!

Classy S turns 1!

Something I have come to realize is how much fun sessions are when the mom brings some fun props along...this mom never ceases to amaze me with her awesome cake/cupcake making she does.  No doubt she is artsy though as she is a graphic designer by day and super mom at night!  I wish I had some of that talent.  This post is picture heavy but just plane and simple couldn't help it ;)  I hope you see why.
Loved the bright colors and matching flower..she had so much fun playing with the flowers.

There are a lot of times I think that the siblings I capture look alike, but I tell you what, I have watched big brother P grow from 6 months and he looked just like her!

Love this <3!!  He has changed so much in the last half year since I have seen him, he loved pictures this time!

Couldn't pass up the cakesmash...

And last but not least, I really, really like when siblings get to join it...

Thanks {M} Family!!  Can not wait to see you again soon....

Another 1 year old...

I was so glad this family wanted to wait for it to get nice out to do a session outside.  All of their birthday's are around February and March so we usually just miss the nice weather for outdoor pictures.  It was so much fun to take their pictures this year too because they actually all remember me, which made it so easy, quick and painless for them.  It also helps just to capture them the way they are!

I think they all look similar but the older they get...the more they get their own features...

We will go youngest to oldest this time as little {E} turned 1!   You may remember him from my favorite 3 month session ever!!

And then there is Mr. {J}...I think he looks like he is always thinking about something ;)

And gorgeous {K}, I swear this girl never, ever takes a bad picture!! 

And lastly, we had to try get the two boys in their bibs...love it!

Thanks {M} Family!!  Please come over and visit anytime!

And baby {K} makes 3...

This is the first time I have gotten to capture this family, but had met their mom along the way at some of the Thirty-One Parties I consulted.  These are some of the cutest kids ever and how well behaved.  Our session got a little long for them as the newest addition was so happy and content just staying awake and taking in all that was going on around her.  I have to say what a perfect baby she is though, as she let me move her around so much and never made a peep, the whole while being awake!
Here are the older siblings...All of their eyes were just amazing!

And I just love {C}'s curls!

And last but not least...the new addition.  She was only 3 weeks old, but as alert and strong as a 4 month old!  I got her to sleep for about 20 minutes and loved what I got...

I just had to share one to show how beautiful her eyes are too...

Thanks {C} Family for choosing me to capture your perfect kids!  I hope we get to meet up again soon...

And the littlest turns 1!!

I just love being back outside taking pictures!  I definately couldn't have asked for a more perfect day to capture these 3 boys...and what great boys they were.  We even got to do the cakesmash outside which was so fun....without further ado.  This is a picture heavy post but couldn't resist posting this many.

 

Aren't his eyes just the best...I remember how much I liked them last time.

And this little guy was going to make me work at the start...but once we got his shark involved he was such a ham!

All the boys sure have their own look...cute!

And little E turned 1!

I couldn't resist this before and after...he was the first one to use my favorite vintage prop ever so I had to make sure we got one a year later on it too.

I really like that the older boys got involved in the cake smash...I think we could've had some pretty messy kids if we had let them keep going!

Thanks M family for letting me capture your boys again...it is so much fun watching these kids grow!

Sneak Peak - {L} Family

I am so lucky to have the best clients ever that just keep returning.  This is truely why I love what I do, I love to watch the kids grow.  You may recognize these two from last year and every year since I have started :)
Little brother K sure has grown from his newborn pictures, he sure has grown up.  He was such a little ham in front of the camera.

I am so, so happy to be able to be back outdoors...just nothing like it!  I think K looks so much like his dad when he was little.

And these two couldn't take a bad picture together!

B has changed so much through out the years and is just so gorgeous!

Her age is one of the most challenging, yet the most fun.  They don't always want to take the pictures but when you finally bribe convince them to they are the best and most natural.  B did great the whole time!

And lastly...I couldn't resist showing beautiful B throughout the years!  Fun looking back :)

Thanks L family for coming back again!  It was great catching up again...funny how we all live so close yet never see each other.

Baby B turns 6 months!

This was the first time I have gotten to capture this little cutie...and hopefully not the last!  He had so many pictures that were awesome that you are going to be in a picture overload on this post ;)  That is always a good thing though isn't it??  It was nice to be back in the swing of things after my little hand surgery I had, now I am just ready to get some green grass to take the action outside.
I loved the vintage look of this one...and one of my new floors too!

I couldn't resist posting these!  And I just love all his baby chub, I wish I would've had some of these for my girls...they would've killed me when they were older with how much chub they had.

Lastly, for his Dad!!  A huge gopher fan in the making ;)

Thanks D family for choosing me!  Hope you like them and I can't wait to meet up again next time!
