For those new to the blog, I am a Minneapolis Children's Photographer specializing in unique, fun, lifestyle portraiture of maternity, newborn, baby, children and families. Sessions are on location either at your home or favorite place.

If you have a newborn, sessions are best scheduled within the first 4-10 days. Please call before the baby is due so we can reserve time around your due date.

Thanks for visiting!

Adorable

Adorable is the first thing that comes to mind when I met this little guy a few days ago. Little B has the most gorgeous eyes and the most beautiful rich brown hair. I can only image what this little guy is going to look like a few years from now. A heart breaker for sure.

all curled up

and a new little hat

It was great seeing you again and meeting little B!!

The S Family

I had the pleasure to meet the S family yesterday as they welcomed a new baby into their family. Meet little M. He’s a little guy at just over 6 lbs and just a sweetheart.

And I call this one “walking on sunshine”

And the other star of the show, Miss M. This little 2 yr old won my heart immediately. She is sooo like my daughter that it’s unreal. Mom S and I joked about all those qualities (determination, a mind of their own, tons of energy) are wonderful and will make them go far as adults, but are just a little more challenging as toddlers. She made me work for a bit but it was so worth it to catch the sparkle in this little girls eyes. Here are a few favorites…

and this one just seemed so fitting for her personality. She’s got places to go and things to do and we’re watching her from behind.

It was great meeting you! I’ll be in touch soon.

Out of Office - again

It just so happened that everything landed in August this year. I will be gone Saturday, Aug 16th - 23rd with limited access to email.

And for the fun stuff…I love the rounded corner look (as you may have noticed) and now offer a variety of collage layouts with this look for something a little different. Here is one option featuring the adorable Miss C.

and one of my favorite things to do is design custom wall galleries to really pull it all together. The options are endless and can fit any space. Here’s a sample using shelves.

And one for Sweet E. I’ll have more samples in future posts.

Hope everyone enjoys the week!

4 Month Old Sweet E

Most babies take a few minutes to warm up…well, not this little sweetheart. She was all smiles and was quite the diva! I’ve had a string of blue eyed beauties and this little one was no exception.

And blowing bubbles with a new hat…a little big but still so cute!!

And I love this one for a few reasons. First, it was completely unplanned. Mom was just playing with little E while we switched locations. Second, because just as I started shooting, little E gave mom a big old smooch! And lastly, because this gorgeous mom said to me as I was leaving that she wasn’t photogenic….I beg to differ.

ok, just one more…

It was great meeting you today! Give that little cutie a hug from me.

I’m back and 8 month old Miss C

Well, we got back from the reunion yesterday and we had a wonderful time!! The kids loved hanging out with the cousins and we had perfect beach weather. I love Northern MN in the summertime.

I also had the pleasure of meeting this little cutie and her parents today. Isn’t she adorable!? I just loved her outfits and those beautiful eyes.

They live in a beautiful home in Minneapolis, so much character and I just loved the nursery.

And a family shot, done in a little less traditional way. It’s amazing how fast they grow, she’ll be up to their waists and running around in no time at all.

It was great meeting you all today! Hope you enjoy your sneak peek! I’ll be in touch with your gallery.

Out of Office

We’re off for part of the week for a family reunion! I’ll have limited access to email and voicemail but will be checking periodically.

And well, since posts aren’t a lot of fun without images…here’s one more of little J

The S Family

Meet the S family. They just welcomed this little bundle into the family, 5 day old little J. Have I mentioned I love newborns? It’s such a magical time for families.

Here he is with daddy. He looks so tiny in his father’s hands.

And this one mom wanted. She was on bedrest for a while and Mr S lovingly kept her gardens up for her. Now that’s a good man.

And the other star of the show. Meet big brother S. He’s a great big brother and little J get’s LOTS of kisses.

It was great seeing you again S family! Hope you are getting a little more sleep!

Canvas and Coffee Table books

I’m just packaging up a recent session and thought I’d snap a few quick images of a few popular items.

The coffee table books are just yummy. They are custom designed with most, if not all of your session images. The cover is printed with your favorite image along with a matching dust jacket. With this particular style book, the pages are nice and thick and they lay flat, a feature I love especially images that span multiple pages.

Another favorite, the fine art gallery wrap canvases. They are custom sized to fit your space perfectly and come ready to hang. Great for either a family portrait or you can do what this client did and order a set to make a contemporary wall gallery.

Holiday Dates

Christmas in July? Well, no but Fall is booking up fast so I wanted to post this year’s deadlines for holiday sessions.

All sessions for holidays pictures must be held before November 16th.
All card orders and/or prints needed for Christmas must be finalized and ordered by December 6th.

For those in the Watch Me Grow club that have their next session falling in Oct/Nov, please reserve your date today, especially if you prefer a weekend.

Thanks!!
Katie

Beautiful Blues

Can you tell these two are related? What I’d do for their eye color, gorgeous!


Just a quick peek! I had fun with you today!
