Baby LM {Chaska Newborn Photographer}

Poly — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 14:20:32 +0000

This little baby boy is so little and he already won my heart. The cutest thing! I spent almost two hours with him and he chose to be awake the whole time . Oh well, the few times he snoozed I got some super cute sleeping shots, and when he would look at me with big brown eyes I captured that too… Mom and dad are loving every minute of it and it was wonderful to see their love for baby! Grandma even showed up half way through our session to see this precious cutie! Here’s your sneak peek!

Summer Fun {Sneak Peek for the Kruger Girls!)

Poly — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 02:29:04 +0000

When mom called me about doing this session I got super excited! The idea was to capture the girls doing something they love to do, especially with dad… So we all went fishing! Amazingly enough, big sister who is almost turning 5 caught a fish minutes after we got to our spot – I was shocked! I’ve been fishing before, but I never catch anything! It was super fun… I have in the past year taken pictures of these girls on the Fall, Winter and now Summer I don’t think we did a Spring session yet (did we mom?). Anyways, it’s pretty awesome that they know me by name (although I’m “potty” and not Poly) and remember me from previous sessions. I love getting to know my clients and sometimes I really feel like family. Here’s a little sneak peek of “our” little fishing trip!

Sari’s Bat Mitzvah!

Poly — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 04:45:09 +0000

I feel truly honored I was there to enjoy this really bid day in Sari’s life! I can’t believe how lucky I am to be asked to capture special moments such as weddings and bat/bar mitzvahs. These are moments that will be treasured forever and having good pictures to remember that is really priceless. Later I’ll post pictures from Sari’s awesome cruise party at the QE2 in Minnetonka! Mazal tov Sari! Enjoy your pictures!

Guetzlaff Girls {Sneak Peek}

Poly — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 23:09:25 +0000

I was so happy to once again see these two! It was my second time photographing them and just awesome to see how much they have grown!!! I know mom is dying to see these, so here’s a little sneak peek!

Miss “M” {Sneak Peek}

Poly — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 20:52:42 +0000

I had an awesome time with this little one this Sat. We met at the Walker, one of my favorite places to shoot, and M was all smiles the whole time! Such a joy to be around… After our shoot I had lunch there and it was delicious! They built like a food stand and I had an awesome steak tip burger (or something like that!). Here are some of my faves from the session…

Tritz Family Reunion {Sneak Peek}

Poly — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 21:49:46 +0000

What an amazing family! I met the Tritz family at 9 am at their house and we lucked out because it stopped raining 5 min before I got there! This session could not be rescheduled since one of the families was out of town and leaving the next day, so rain or shine we had to make it work. Let’s just say by the time 9 o’clock came the sky was just perfect! Here’s a little sneak peek for this awesome family, thank you so much for welcoming into your home!

Adorable + Fabulous + Cuties {MN Triplets Photographer}

Poly — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 03:23:50 +0000

Yesterday as I was editing these and couldn’t stop smiling… By the end of the session I could tell them apart and knew their names. I know one is a girl, which only leaves confusion for the other two, but I still got it! I hope their mom and dad have as much fun looking at these as I did taking them, and editing them. And yes, mom and dad already had two kids so she has 5 amazing children to take are of now… Enjoy your sneak peek!

Family Sessions at {Centennial Lakes Park}

Poly — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 04:36:11 +0000

This Sat I met some really awesome families! I really love it when people welcome me to their lives to capture their love for each other… Centennial Lakes was the perfect location – love that place! Here’s a little sneak peek, more coming soon

The Whiteside Kiddos {Chaska Portrait Photographer}

Poly — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 00:56:20 +0000

Adorable, cute, polite, gorgeous… I don’t really know what words to use to describe these two. Baby “G” was soooo happy and smiley the whole time, and big sister “S” was super sweet and a little shy, perfect combo! It was truly amazing to photograph them and I can’t wait for mom and dad to see these!

Sweet as Apples {Chaska Portrait Photographer}

Poly — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 02:02:30 +0000

It’s so nice to see this adorable girl growing up! Her mom books me every six months and it’s amazing to see what six months can do when it comes to a child’s growth. Her hair is so long, and she can speak so many more words now… Her favorite song is still the same though! Here’s a little sneak peek!
