Alison & Cory {Maternity Portraits :: Eagan, MN}

Last weekend, I had the opportunity to meet Cory and Alison at their beautiful new house in Eagan, MN. We had a great time taking photos inside their house and then headed out to their gorgeous backyard for some great portraits! Their dog even got in on the action. :)

 Congratulations Cory & Alison! Thank you for letting me document your journey from 2 to 3 in your new house! I can't wait to come back for newborn pictures soon!








Gorgeous!






See more - coming soon!

Adelyn Helene {Newborn Portraits :: Cottage Grove, MN}

Last weekend, I had the opportunity to meet another beautiful baby!  Adelyn Helene was less than a week old when we took portraits & was absolutely perfect.  She did great for her first photo shoot & it was great to get to see her mom and dad again!





This one was a little hard for me to take...Ugh, Vikings!













LOVE!



See more of Adelyn's pictures - coming soon!

William Alan {Newborn Portraits :: Minneapolis, MN}

William was born on March 7th - a little early, but perfect nonetheless! And William really was perfect for our shoot - we got some while he slept and then he woke up for some too. He was two weeks old when we did his portraits, and did such a great job!

Wendy and Andy - thank you for letting me document your new arrival. It was great to see you & meet William! :)




I think this is my favorite!


Then he woke up!




He got pretty comfy posing towards the end...

Gia is 1! {1 Year Portraits :: Barron, WI}

I was super excited to have the chance to see Nicole, Jake and Gia again! They even had the privilege of having my husband, Paul, come along to help out. :) I was definitely not disappointed - we had a great time chatting with Nicole and Jake...and Gia is adorable! I can't believe she's already 1! Unfortunately, it was a little too cold to get some outdoor portraits, but we had fun anyway.

We took some pictures on a black backdrop...after which I had some fun in Photoshop. :)

Isn't she so cute?!

ONE!

Hehe, I love the tongue!

She didn't like the idea of wearing shoes...and wasn't quite sure how to do "1"... :)

She was pretty good with the blocks though.

Amelia {1-Year Portraits :: River Falls, WI}

Amelia is ONE!! Last time I saw Amelia, she was an itty bitty newborn. Can she really be one already?

Amelia (and her mom, Jess & dad, Luke) came to my in-house studio to do some portraits - we planned to head outside too, but it was far too cold...even for January in Wisconsin. Amelia wasn't feeling 100%, but we got lots of great pictures. It may have taken a bit (okay, a lot) of parental silliness, but it worked!

How adorable is she?!? 

Walkin' with Mom!

This is an accurate representation of the session - Jess & Luke doing their best to get smiles & a straight-faced Amelia. :)

Kisses!

And their aftermath.

Just TRY to look at the pic on the right & keep a straight face!

What a little model. :)

Love the tutu!
