I was so happy when Kara asked me to come to their house for photos – photographing on location is my most favorite way to shoot since I’m able to capture a client in a more natural, comfortable and personal setting.  Most clients have a hard time thinking their home could lend itself to amazing photos, but they’ve always been pleasantly surprised by the outcome!  It’s almost always possible to find great lighting, and in Odella’s case, amazing props as well!  I contributed a few blankets and my super amazing, fantastic mini top hat, but the rest was all Kara and Zach.  Recognize the frame?!?   Zach’s grandmother’s mirror frame has been the most requested item from my clients since K+Z’s engagement session a few years back. I tried to take it off the wall and out the door with me, but no luck, sorry friends!!  It did re-inspire me to find one of my own, so keep your eyes peeled. :)

We did a quick session in Hudson this summer and at the end, Ethan was mad we were done – love him!

To start things off right, I think I’ll post a few quickies in the next few days – sessions from this summer, some of which you may have seen sneak peeks to on my Facebook page here.

 

Little miss Ella!

Of course, no family session is complete without the household pet, and “C” didn’t disappoint.  He’s definitely the protector of his “sisters”, as he watched their every move our entire time at the studio.  Now that’s love!

She’s so tiny and precious (and ridiculously light, in comparison to my little man “muscles” – more on that later) and was soooo good during our session at the studio.  Even during the millisecond meltdown-from-being-too-chilly-in-her-skivvys, Aubrey managed to remain adorable!! Tiny baby cries = cute, in case you didn’t know.

I could have shot all day if Aubrey would’ve let me, especially with all the cute flower hair pieces we had to choose from thanks to Aubrey’s mom.  I can’t wait to see this little one grow up!

I love this family!  Not only are they fellow Stout Grads, but their daughters are ridiculously adorable (and not at all camera shy!)  We met in Hudson for an early morning shoot last month and though we almost lost a few shoes and hair ties along the way, I couldn’t have asked for a better session.  :)
PS…I highly recommend morning shoots – the lighting is fantastic and there’s almost never anyone around.  Plus, your kids are up anyhow, so why not get an early start?

Grandma taught Chloe to pose for pictures, apparently, it was the only way to get her to stop for a photo!  Love!

In the last few weeks, I had the pleasure of shooting Kelli and Nick’s beautiful farm wedding in Cannon Falls, MN:

It was good to see you Gretch – thanks for letting me snap some photos of your fam!

Stay tuned for a full post of Emily and Chris  as well as a sneak peek from Katy and Adam’s WI Northwoods wedding!
