One nice thing about having a big family is that it usually grows quickly when everyone starts having babies! First my cousin Eric and his wife Rachel had baby Logan, then about 6 months later my sister had Quincy, followed by Ava and Laila born to two more of my cousins on my dad’s side. (Needless to say, Christmas will be CRAZY this year with all the new babies together!) And I’m so blessed to be a photographer and be able to capture the milestones of all these little ones! A couple weekends ago, another one of my cousins, Amanda, got married (blog post yet to come from the wedding day!) so Stacy and Ava came from Chicago while Eric, Rachel, Logan and the grandparents came from the Sioux Center area. Since we had everyone in one place, we decided we’d do Ava’s 3 month session and try for some group photos. Well let’s just say that getting an active 10 month old (Logan) and a 3 month old in one photo can be quite a challenge! We didn’t get many photos of them together but we did get some great shots of Logan by himself along with a group photo with Grandma & Grandpa! After that we switched gears and focused all the attention on baby Ava. She had some of the CUTEST outfits (the green one is my favorite!) and is so laid back that we could even get her on her tummy without a fuss. AND we learned that she can hold herself up pretty well which created the best photos from the session, in my opinion. She’s such a little doll and I can’t wait to photograph her as she gets bigger! These are just a few of my favorites and if you’d like to see more check out my Facebook Gallery.

I can hardly believe it’s been three months since little Quincy joined our family. My how time flies! She’s getting so big and full of expressions! It wasn’t long into the session before Quincy had her first baby meltdown of the day (being a model is HARD work!) so I set up my laptop, hooked up my hard drive and put on some soothing Kenny G music which usually calms babies down. However, Grandma informed me that even at the early age of 3 months, Quincy has a very particular taste in music and preferred a little Lady Gaga over Kenny G. I didn’t believe her so, to prove her wrong, I turned on some Lady Gaga, thinking that Quincy would continue to have her meltdown, thus postponing the session until she calmed down. Oh but how I was wrong! Grandma quickly picked up little Quincy, snuggled her tight and started bouncing her to the music and surprisingly Quincy calmed right down! Who knew Lady Gaga was the new thing in children’s music! HA! So for the rest of the session, we played some of Quincy’s favorite songs like “Poker Face,” “Just Dance,” and “Telephone.” Good call Grandma! 
These are some of my favorite shots from the session, including a 9-up wall collage that I’m going to talk my sister into hanging in the nursery…WAY to cute NOT to! Stay tuned for more images of Quincy in the upcoming months. I learned some new tricks at After Dark, a photo conference I attended last week in Minneapolis, that I want to try out on Quincy the next time I’m in Iowa. I love having a little model of my very own!

My friend Lori, a wedding planner and one of the owners of veiled events in Woodbury, got me in touch with Mike & Heather. They are getting married this coming October and were in need of a fabulous photographer to photograph their special day (….that’s where I come in 
). So we met at the studio, showed them all my cool products and images, signed a contract and booked a date for their engagement session!
With my engagement sessions I like to take the couple to a fun location outside of the studio. This is our chance to play around, get some fun images and get to know one another. I knew right off the bat that Heather and Mike were not the back alley/grunge type of a couple but more of the relaxed/nature setting type. I knew I wanted to take them somewhere different, somewhere I had never been before and instantly thought of the Minnehaha Falls Park in Minneapolis. I had seen some amazing photos taken there and decided the green grass and trees would make for some excellent backdrops for the couple. We had everything planned out – Mike would come up from Iowa for the weekend (like he does most weekends….now THAT’s LOVE!) and we would go out on Saturday morning for the session. But of course, Mother Nature had to rain on our parade…it was SUPER cold and rainy all day! But never fear – Sunday turned out to be an amazing day with sun shining and temps almost back to normal!
I had such a blast wandering around Minnehaha Falls Park with Mike and Heather, exploring the new location and creating some intimate portraits of the couple. I can’t wait until their wedding day!!! We’re going to have a blast! Thank you Mike and Heather for being such an adorable, fun couple If you’d like to see more of Mike and Heather, check out my facebook page.
