Elsa — Minneapolis/St Paul Child Photographer

I just spent a wonderful couple of hours with Miss Elsa and here is one of my favorite images from our time together so far.  (I have only made it through ten photos if that gives you any idea on how cute they all are!)  It was my first in-studio session, and I must say I LOVED it.  The lighting is perfect, the space more than enough room for little ones to cruise about.  I am seriously on cloud nine.

Elsa’s mom (my new sewing tutor although she doesn’t know it yet!) brought along the most perfect outfits and accessories….when I look at this photo I am literally speechless.  I don’t know if I could have described more precisely the images I want to be able to create for families…but those colors, that wide-eyed look….this is exactly it.

Thank you guys for great session.  I hope to see much more of you in the future!

My First Official Day! — Minneapolis/St Paul Child Photographer

The past few weeks have been a flurry of activity, from online ordering to Target and IKEA runs….but I can safely say I have arrived, and am here, sitting in my cute little studio.  I hope to have more pictures soon, but with six bare walls staring back at me it isn’t ready to show off just yet.  For now you will have to make due with my iphone photo from this weekend!  A big shout-out to my husband who spent HOURS, and I mean HOURS assembling all of my new furniture.  I don’t know what I would do without him:)

This week I will be putting the details together for my Mother’s Day Weekend event, and finalizing the calendar for this upcoming year, so be sure to check back in the next few days to see what I have cooking.  I am also working on a new issue of my monthly newsletter that will hit email boxes by the end of the week–so much to do, but so exciting at the same time.

Sometime next week I plan on practicing a bit in the room above, so if you know of anyone with a baby 6-18 months that could help out (baby must be able to sit up on his/her own), please have them contact me.   Anyone that is able to volunteer their time will receive an awesome gift for helping out!

Baby Announcements — Minneapolis/St Paul Baby Photographer

I absolutely love scalloped edges, so these new baby announcements sent me over the edge with excitement!   I am now including a set of 25 with every newborn session, as I can not think of a prettier way to announce the arrival of a newborn.  Which one is your favorite?

Speaking of newborns, I received word today that I will be able to attend Kelly Ryden’s Newborn Workshop in THREE WEEKS instead of September!  I simply cannot wait to learn from her and her sister Tracey, their style is so beautiful and sweet.

Sisters — Minneapolis/St Paul Family Photographer

Here is yet another Friday Fun session to share…seriously two of the prettiest sisters I have ever seen!  Capturing a special relationship is the perfect excuse to schedule a mini-session.  For those of us “all grown,” when is the last time you had a picture with your siblings?  Personally, the last photo of me with my brother and sisters was NINE years ago.  Definitely time to get something new!

Don’t be like me and let that much time pass, schedule something this year.  (You know your mom would LOVE it.)

On another subject, I am happy to announce that my website has been completely updated, online scheduling activated, and customer rewards programs finalized.  T-minus seven days until I am in my studio too…it’s been a whirlwind here…

So let’s get this party started!  Every comment earns these gals a print credit, so be sure to help them earn some free portraits!  (If you click the lil’ Facebook button at the bottom of this entry and post it to your Facebook wall, they get even MORE credits.)  Help spread the love!

Cake Smash! — Minneapolis/St Paul Children’s Photographer

We first glimpsed Sam here, and a few months later I captured him here.  Believe it or not last month he turned ONE!  I am sure I speak for him mom when I say where has the time gone?! Here he is enjoying his first birthday cake–definitely a fun mini-session.  This particular session was taken in Sam’s home, but now that I have studio space I will be able to schedule Cake Smash Mini-Sessions with regularity and some awesome colored backdrops.  These sessions are a perfect way to commemorate the big O-N-E, and seriously….wouldn’t this make the cutest birthday album or party invitation?  It’s going to be fun to explore the possibilities!

Tina Phelps - Heather … what great memories captured with the most vivid colors and creative angles. I love it! Sam is sure to love these one day! Times sure have changed … I have my fading, bland Polaroids from my 1st birthday (Thanks though, Mom! You did the best with the technology that existed!) and they pale in comparison to the memories captured with your lens!

Keep up the great work!
Love, T.

Stephanie Hering - Oh my gosh–these are absolutely adorable! I am so going to have you do this for my future child. The one where he’s crying is priceless!!! Great photos!!
