Fantastic Session

For those of you that don't know this yet, I adore animals. Really. I have 4 horses, 3 dogs, and an outdoor cat. If we could have more I probably would, but I'm too busy for more. lol I would say that I inharited this from both of my parents. They have 3 horses and 3 dogs. I grew up with cats, dogs, hamsters, rat, birds.... basically everything you can image was ours at one point.

SO for Father's day I was blessed photograph my dad and mom with their horses. They live in Ortonville, MN and it's a b-e-a-utiful area! Rolling prairie hills, watering holes with trees, and cows. Very beautiful. My parents have really gown into having a loving marriage that works smoothly. I enjoy seeing that they love each other. That's was my goal with this session was to show their love.

Burch Family

This last week was my "Celebrate Family" week and it was a joy to either meet new families or see fun repeat families! This beautiful family are friends from my church (Community Bible) and I love them. It was fun to work with them to create some fun family photos. We actually tried family photos late winter and it was just a bad day for the little ones. And that DOES happen. So this last week was simply beautiful weather and we got some great stuff! Here's a fun family collage.

Cody, Serena, and Crew

I know I've said this before, but I LOVE loyal clients. It is a conformation to me that I not only LOVE what I do, but that I'm good at it. Plus, I adore families and it's so fun to watch them grow. This last winter I was honored to photograph the infant's newborn photos and the rest of the children too. So seeing them a few months later is SO fun! Mary, the infant, has SO much more personality and is a doll! Thanks guys for your loyalty and making my session spunky!

The Crosby Family

I recently was introduced to this sweet family at church and I just adore them. The mom and dad are just so gentle, fun, and have SO much love for their little girl! As for their daughter, I am in love! lol I love the "challenge" of getting a shy or stand-off-ish child to have fun being photographed. It makes my job fun and rewarding! By the end of our session she was loving it! It was especially wonderful to do this session because none of them have ever received or been apart of professional photos. Not for their engagement, wedding, or child photos. I was HONORED to be the first and to provide them with memories that can be passed on and that last a life time. Thanks so much guys!

Christopherson Cousin

I ADORE this family. They have been such amazing, loyal, and fun clients to work with! This will be the 3rd time they've made a debuet to my blog in just over a year! And every session is more fun than the last! I got to meet their aunt and cousins from FL! Yay! We went to an outdoor location of mine and had some fun. I loved all of family love that was going around. Thanks guys!

On Monday David and I (my husband) drove through St. Cloud to photograph this sweet family! (That's right! You don't needs human babies to be a family. Fur babies will work just fine;) )

I LOVE pets, and these 2 were no exception for good dogs. It was neat to work in a different area and see Sam again! It's been many years since I had seen her and I still love that girl!

The Family: Pauling

This week is my Celebrate Family week! No session fee! So I've been busy photographing families like crazy and it's been such a wonderful time : ) The weather has been just fabulous for working outdoors and creating great summer photos. This family of 4 girls was so sweet! I have no sisters so it was fun to watch all of them interact and see what a family with no boys looks like. They all loved their mommy and daddy quite a bit and there was never a dull moment :) Thanks Paulings for coming out and working with me!
