Sneak Peak - {B} turns 6 months and big sister {T}

One of my favorite families came back for a fall visit, I was so excited and happy!  Unfortunately is was a chilly Sunday so we got just a few outside but I have to say the studio session was just as cute, but then how can it now be with this beautiful family ;)

Tell me if you don't think they are the most perfect ever...I am a little partial to a family with 2 girls, seems pretty natural to me...ha/ha.

These two are too cute for words...

And I just had to post this comparison, I JUST.COULD.NOT RESIST! {T} at 6 months (on the right), 2 years ago and {B} at 6 months(on the left) now.  Such different looks but yet, similar.  I simply love all the baby chub, makes me want to just squeeze them!

Thanks again {W} family for stopping by, can't wait to watch your two perfect girls grow <3 br="">

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="">

Sneak Peak-{A} turns 1!!!

I love, love, love when I get to capture 1 year birthdays!  And it always makes it better when I have taken their newborn pictures and get to see how much they have all changed throughout the year.  I am lucky enough to be classmates to little {A}'s dad and friends with her mom so I get to at least see them throughout the year.  I always enjoy getting to visit during sessions as an added bonus!

Who couldn't love this little face....

And the perfect little family....

Last but not least...all the fun we got to have! I love cake smashes....

Thanks for choosing me to capture little {A}...she is so gorgeous!  Also, lets keep her dad's sister in our prayers as they just found out this week she has Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), she was always the sweetest happy go lucky person in school...thinking and praying for all of you {{{HUGs}}}

Sneak Peak - {A} Boys

Just a quick sneak peak for these handsome boys and their cousin, it was a quick but fun session!  It had been a few years since I had taken their pictures, how the time flies and the boys grow!  Now if only my girls could learn a little bit of the growing stuff from them.

Thanks {A} family for choosing me again to capture your boys, I had so much fun!

Sneak Peak - {C} 2013 RLCC Senior

Just a quick sneak peak for this beautiful senior, I had so much fun at this session.  They had some great, fun new places to try.  I am ALWAYS up for new places!!
This ones my all time favorite!

 And here are a few others that were my favorites...

Thanks {C} for choosing me to take your senior pictures, I had a blast!!

Miss {T} - 18 months

It had been a whole year since I had seen this little girl, she had changed so much, yet had so many of the fun actions she had at 6 months. She just made me smile the whole session away.
On to the pictures!!  (one item on the images below...the one with Miss {T} with the kids accordian is so special as her grandma is so musically talented that this was such a fun capture!)

 Now, this has got to be one of my all time favorite pictures ever, Grandma found a itsy-bitsy little frog.  Grandma was holding it for {T} to see and {T} had so many fun faces.  I was so happy to capture this life moment, you can just see the genuine love between the two of them!

I, for one, can not wait to see how they like their session. I just love when momma's bring a change of clothes and just have fun and relax through out the whole session.  Thanks to all of you for an awesome session!!

{K} turns 1!!

First of all...Happy 4th of July!!  We had a great day spending it at a parade with our extended family and then joining a picnic at my awesome sister-in-laws....kids are tired but happy they had a fun day.
Just a quick sneak peak for this fun and gorgeous little girl...you may remember her from this session and there are parts of her that have hardly changed...she was such an easy 1 year old to capture, I would take them like that any day.  I got to join them for a session at their beautiful house last week, I just love visiting with them.

Thanks so much for choosing me to capture your adorable 1 year old...I think we need to plan a time just to visit and catch up!

{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!! 

Sneak Peak - {M} Family

Just a quick sneak peak for a patient mom...I was so happy to have this family back in the studio last Saturday!

{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 - Baby {A}

I am so lucky to be able to capture little tiny newborns when they are still so fresh in the world...each and everytime it is a new adventure.  This was definately one of my easiest ones yet and I had so much fun catching up with her parents.  Her dad was another classmate of mine, that is one thing about our small community, there is still a lot of us around the area so I get to capture their families as well!

This is a new all time favorite...I just love the colors as it just brought out her eyes...

And what a perfect little family....

 

And last, but certainly not least, we got to add in a special blanket and sweater...ADORABLE!

Thanks {K} family for choosing me to capture your beautiful new addition to your family...I can't wait to watch her grow!

Being Thankful...Sneak Peak {B} and {K}

Happy Thanksgiving...hope you have all had a wonderful holiday and get to enjoy it throughout the weekend!  Unfortunately, I get to head back to work tomorrow but at least I love where I work ;)  I wanted to sneak this post up as it was such a fitting day for it.  I have been lucky enough to know these two girls' mom forever.  Facebook has wonderful ways of connecting me to the past and I was so happy when their mom contacted me to capture the two girls.  I think their mom and dad have LOTS to be thankful for with these two.  It has been amazing meeting so many people through my photography business that have gotten to adopt, and how lucky they all are.  It is a dream of mine to fly across the world some day and do some missionary work at an orphanage and I can not wait to see that dream come true...but until then, I will just enjoy my job and love up on all the kids I get to capture during the year ;)
I just loved, loved their mom's choice of clothing...and a great way to start the holiday season!

I think by now, everyone knows that one of my favorite images is a profile image.  I just had to giggle when I was editing these, little {K} was giggling so hard at her big sister that you can hardly see her little eyes, so when it was {B}'s turn to try, {K} was trying all sorts of moves to get her to laugh like she did!

Thanks {B} family for letting me capture your gorgeous girls!  It was so fun catching up, next time I hope I get to stay and enjoy your girls for a while ;)

Sneak Peak - {K} turns 6 months!

I can't believe this little girl is already 6 months!  Where in the world does the time go...I have been busy trying to play catch up and I am slowly but surely getting there.  I was lucky enough to join her at her house this time so it was a fun change....I just loved the way they turned out!  Lucky for me, she isn't on the move yet.  I think I say this each and every time I take a 6 months pictures but it is definately my favorite age. 
You may remember this cuties, and be able to recognize her from her newborn pictures, but if not, you will surely be able to tell which family she comes from as she looks just like her brother and sister...
This is for a special friend of the family...she just loved all the hats at her newborn session so her mom bought her another one...

And how adorable is she???

Thanks for choosing me to capture her 6 month pictures...hoping our next time we meet we can do a cake smash for her big 1 year birthday!

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-{E} Girls

These are some of THE cutest girls I have ever gotten to capture! It was such a beautiful day for this session and the leaves were just starting to turn colors, I love this time of year!  After this wind today though, I have to say, that was sure short lived :(
{E} was so cute, had lots of questions and loves rocks! 

And Miss {N} was all smiles, you would swear she was bribed (tee/hee)...

And lastly, a couple of the two of them....

Thanks for letting me meet your beautiful girls....they were so fun to get to know, and they definately have their mom's fun personality. Thanks {J}, it was great to see you again!

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 ;)

{C} 2013 Red Lake County Central Senior

I have to definately say that I had a blast with {C}...she brought her friend along and it went so smoothly.  We had some great locations and some great results if I do say so...I won't make you wait to see the pictures as they are amazing!

My favorite image of her, has got to the be the lower, middle image...how stunning!!  Thanks {C} for letting me capture you, {A} and your dog, I had a blast ;)

{K} 2013 Red Lake County Central Senior

Just a quick sneak peak...I know his mom is probably anxiously waiting.  His mom is another great teacher in my girls' school...I am seeing a trend here, and I love it!  We sure have some great teachers that is for sure!
One really neat note..he just had to have a picture with his cat, and I don't blame him as he has had this cat since he was 4, definately a great memory.

Thanks {K} for letting me shoot your senior session...hope you like them!

Sneak Peak - Princess {T}

Lucky, lucky is what I call my job...I am so blessed to meet up with old friends/teachers.  This little girls grandma was one of my teachers and Taya also has been lucky enough to have her in her classroom some last year.  Our whole school is so blessed to have her help with a great beginning to our children's lives.  And then her daughter...I remember her when she was just little.. I can not wait to see if {T} will grow up to look just like her mom, beautiful inside and out!
This is definately a fun sneak peak!  There is just nothing like the fun expressions of a 6 month old..

And just a perfect smile, I would have to say that 6 months is my ultimate favorite age to capture ;)

And last, but not least, a little baby chub.  I love, love, love me some rolls....

Thanks {W} family for choosing me to capture her 6 month pictures, hope I get to catch up again sometime.

{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!
