B&B :)

So, it's kind of an interesting story how I got the privilege to photograph these two cuties. Morgan has a speech teacher come to the house a few times a month, well she came and saw my photos on the wall and asked who took them and I replied, "I did" with a big smile on my face :) We chatted a bit and set up a time to take her daughter's 9 month pictures! We also snapped a few of her older brother who is about 2 1/2! It was so much fun!

Miss A is 6 Months Old!

I have taken pics of this little lady since she was 2 months old! It is so fun to watch these little ones grow and so quickly at that ... the amount they change in such a short time blows me away!

Here are some faves!

 She was not a fan of the leaves so this was the best we got

 Totally in love with the headband!

 I tried something a little different with having the wood floor in the photo and then the tan behind her and I like how it turned out ... another photographer friend Marissa Rolin shared that idea with me!

 Aren't those eyes just gorgeous!

 Super cute!

This is actually Morgan's chair and we took some pics of Morgan in it when she was 6 months so we got a couple with Miss A too!

My first REAL Senior Session!

I got the opportunity to photography Miss Rachel for her senior pictures! I've known their family since college and I was absolutely thrilled when they wanted me to take her senior pictures! Here are a few of my favorites!

 I really like the smirk on her face in this one...

 I think this one is very natural looking

 love the coloring on this one .. it has browns, purples, and blacks and whites

 I do not remember what I did to this one but it looks cool!

 Yay for leaves ... and this color looked great on her!

love it

 the photos above and below are probably by far my favorites of them all :)

F Family

This was another session where they did not know me prior to taking pictures :) I was a little nervous going into this as they had a busy 18 month old and 2 pugs to photograph. This was just a simple family session for holiday cards and it went great! The little guy was so stinkin' cute and the dogs were great too! I'm very pleased with how they turned out!

Miss M

Yay for people that do not know me personally! I was so excited to do this session because it was somebody that had not known me prior to the session.  Miss M was a cute little 4 month old and I think we got some great fall pictures!

| Amber Erickson + Erik Gabbey Wedding |

I was not the photographer for this, but still took my camera long to try to catch a few good shots! I think I was successful!

Amber was a good friend of my from elementary and high school. They were married at the Gale Woods Farm in Minnetrista, MN near Minnetonka! It was such a beautiful wedding and day! So fun!

Holding hands during the ceremony! I had a pretty decent spot to sit that I could get this close! Erik's dad did the ceremony! Most of the good pictures I got were from the ceremony!

Bridesmaids ... pretty ladies!

Best Woman! I love her expression in this photo!

They were holding hands ... so cool!

This big kiss!

Different cropping!

I caught another great expression!

And lastly, a family photo! Too bad my kids are not looking :)

I Lied

I found a few more things I would love to share!

My sister's car that my dad re-did ... it was my great-grandma's car!

1981 Malibu!

1950

I am caught up, but I just thought of something else I wanted to share with you!

This is my dad's car and I LOVE how this picture turned out!

YAY!!

I think I am all caught up on everything ... not it's just tweeking the little parts of the blog and adding tabs and websites and such! I have a busy October coming up so I know there will be some great pictures to share! I have my first senior session the beginning of October and we are also doing Miss A's 6 month pictures the beginning of August! Plus, figuring everyone keeps their appts I have a few others to do of people that aren't friends or family! Yippee!

Mr. Caden is 9 months old .. holy cow!

Caden is growing even faster than Morgan did it seems like! Before you know it we will be celebrating his one year birthday ... AHH! Mommy is not ready for him to grow up! Here are some pictures we shot for his 9 month :)

He was way more interested in the grass than anything else!

This is such a dorky photo, but I just love his face in this one that I had to post it!

About the best one that we got while outside!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

My little football player!

My first engagement session!

My brother is engaged to be married next April so they asked me if I would do some engagement pictures for them ... heck yes! This was my first engagement session so of course I had to search for some ideas. I had a few of my own, but I didn't want to do the usual boring pictures.  Chelsie, Troy's fiance, put in a lot of good ideas as well. We took the pictures down here in Kasson and it was so easy going and fun! My brother was quite the character the majority of the time, but you'll have that ;)

This is probably one of my favorite pictures that we took ... it's so simple and totally them! I also really like the old building that we took them by! Plan on using that in an upcoming senior session:)

I found this one online, and made it my own! Chelsie thought I was crazy for doing it, but I think it turned out pretty darn good!

Okay, so there is something to say about this one. Not only was it a pain in the ass to take this photo and I stained my cute white capris in the process, but it didn't turn out how I wanted it to either. Live and learn! I'm glad I at least tried to take this photo. I think if I would have gotten a better angle on it and also had a different lens that would have blurred the front of the bark more it would have turned out more how I wanted it to! Still a cool pic though!

Yep, really like this one! Troy liked it because he thought it made him look thinner :)

Another real simple one... I assisted in picking out there clothes, but then didn't think about them together so I apologize for that!

Love my angle on this one .. wish I would have realized Troy had his sunglasses on and Chelsie did not!
