A Beautiful Backyard and Big Brown Eyes

Meet the “L” Family. They had the perfect backyard setting for our family photo session AND lone behold, it was only blocks from where I live! I was immediately captivated by Kai and Ava’s beautiful, big brown eyes.

Kai was a natural in front of the camera:

Ava made me really work for it…I’d hide around the corner and she’d be all giggles when playing, then she’d hear the camera shutter and I would get the most adorable, earnest attempt to hold back a smile:

And then…she couldn’t hold it back any longer 🙂

Thank you “L” Family!

Another Family I Love…

Bridget & Matt are great friends of mine…I stood up for them in their wedding and I’m really excited to have Bridget by my side in mine! Oddly enough, I have only met her parents a handful of times, but every time we are together, they make me feel like I’m part of their family and it feels like we’ve known each other for a lifetime. I was tickled purple (not pink:)-I’m a purple kinda gal) that they asked me to take some family pictures for them, in celebration of Bob & Brenda’s 30th Anniversary. We went to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum and the setting was absolutely breathtaking…they couldn’t have picked a better place! 

Matt & Bridget are celebrating their 5th Anniversary in November!

Proud Mother & her Son

My FAVORITE!

LOVE YOU ALL!

the “F” family

Let me take you on a quick journey…

It starts in 4th grade (ish) when I meet a friend named Elizabeth/Liz/Lizzy. Fast forward through a few high school proms together, attending colleges hours apart, standing by her as she married her best friend, and finally ending up in the same metropolitan area. Over the past 3 years, I’ve had the opportunity to watch one of my best friend’s family grow. I couldn’t be more proud of her beautiful little family 🙂

The Celebration of Yiayia

My friend and co-worker, Andrea, asked if I would photograph her family’s celebration of their beloved Yiayia, who is no longer with them. I was honored that this family welcomed me into their home for such a personal event. Family came from near and far to celebrate and they were blessed with a beautiful day. We did a combination of (homemade) studio and candid shots:
