Lake Nokomis Mini Session

So last weekend was fantastic for mini sessions.
Let's start backwards with the shoots.

the kids (could be an album page)

the family (could also be an album page)

individuals, how cute are they!! (maybe a nice canvas or large print)

silly girl!

I had so much fun, Thank You!!

Schattenberg Family In Studio Portriats

This was an in studio session for a family, now scattered across the country.  I am showing them a few options here with the BW & Sepia. All are touched up and cropped to their desired sizing.

The Sisters - we had talked about this one in sepia at the session

I think the sepia softens this one a little

Just going with the sepia theme here, it is a toss up between the BW or Sepia on this.

Another June Mini Session

Well, I am still really behind on blogging....this is another family who came in for mini session in mid June (!). Today they had their preview session to order prints and go over options. 

the 3 bw's above are going to be together in a triptych - so cute!

Alissa & Jeremy's Brand New Baby Girl

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of meeting Alissa & Jeremy's baby girl Maura. 

What a little sweetie she is.

Jeremy puts on her rosary bracelet.

cute baby & daddy moment

Alissa looks so pretty here, and the pink walls of her nursery were great as a background

Is this Mommy or Daddy's smile?

I think she already has the "Hey Song" down - next it's the "Iowa Fight Song"!

baby toes

baby tears

Some Nursery Details - super cute sheets from Pottery Barn Kids

Henry finally got in on the action

and cooperated enough, once I started barking, for this complete family photo.

Congrats Again!
