Newborn: Sawyer 11 days

I can't believe Summer is almost already OVER!

However, Fall is my faaavvorriiteee season,

and I'm not going to lie,

this heat and humidity is getting a little old!

So I've been busy while I haven't been blogging,

and I'm hoping to catch up this week

since I have some time off! Hooraayyy!

I'd like to introduce you to Mr. Sawyer.

He's 11 days old and a spitting image of his older sister!

He took some convincing to fall asleep for us, 

but thankfully his Mom and Dad had some awesome 

tricks up their sleeve to help us out!!

isn't he the cutest???

Thanks to Amie and her hubby Jimmy for sharing their new

bundle of joy with me!

And as always, thank you Holly for your help and props!!!

Absolutely had to pop this one in of Sawyer's older sister, Savannah, because she's just so darn CUTE!

Until next time my friends.... 

coming up:

3 month old baby Penn

& Newborn Joshua

Newborn Reid: 6 days old

Let me introduce to you,

Mr. Reid, 6 days old.

He was such a little PEANUT!

He was by far the smallest, and well,

the youngest newborn I've shot!

He was such a good model!!

It really is true the "newer" they are 

the easier it is!

Congratulations to Diane and Adam,

your little boy is irresistable :)

thanks a billion Diane for letting me into your home and allowing me to take pictures of Reid!

Miss Cassie: 6 months

It's that time again!!

Miss Cassie is 6 months old!!

It's crazy how times flies, I feel like I just shot her newborn photos....

I moved recently to the West End, 

and so we had to make due with my new apartment 

which isn't so "studio" ready...

At least the weather is finally warm because 

I loooooove outdoor shoots.

I also dream of the day I can buy a house and create a perfect studio.

Anyways, here is Cassie's 6 month photos:

special thanks to Jennifer and Cassie, once again!

The Beekman Family

I recently was given the opportunity to expand my 

photography experience and do a large FAMILY photo!

It was so much fun, and as much as I love taking

pictures of kids....

It's so nice to work with people that want to cooperate and smile :)

Tanya and I went to High School together,

and she asked if I'd be willing to take pictures of their 

growing family as a gift to her parents.

We went to a little park in the middle of downtown St. Paul called,

Mears Park.

Honestly, such a cool spot for pictures!!

Thanks Tanya, again, for asking me to photograph your family!

The Kabato Boys

I've been absent again for quite some time.

no excuses, play like a champion.

I know, I know. 

To make up for it...

I give you the Kabato boys.

They belong to my lovely co-worker, Fatiya

and they were so much fun and

FULL of energy!

We met at one of my favorite spots

Minnehaha Falls.

Special Thanks to Fatiya for giving me the opportunity!

Until next time... 

Ever After Gowns

Last weekend, I had the honor of participating in an event 

put on by the non-profit organization called 

Ever After Gowns.

The event (and organization) helps support young women 

in the Twin Cities area in need by providing them with new and gently used formal gowns,

shoes, and accessories that they can wear to their high school prom,

absolutely FREE of charge!

Special thanks to Tori,

for asking me to participate, 

it was such a inspirational experience!

Miss Cassie: 4 months

A few weeks ago,

I did another follow-up with another newborn that I shot, 

what seems like only yesterday.

But now she's 4 months old already!

I'm serious. Where did the time go?

Cassie is a natural in front of the camera

and it was an absolute pleasure to photograph her again!

Thanks Jennifer :)

Can't wait for the next shoot!!

are those eyes not irresistible?
