Have I mentioned how much I am loving winter sessions this year? I’m sure it is because our winter is so mild, but look how FUN!

Mr. O and his parents too! ~ Chatfield, MN photography

Saturday, I had a lovely visit with Mr. O and his proud mama and papa. I can’t believe how big he has gotten since I last saw him.

He is all cute, and chubby, and smiley now…oh, and those toes, I wanted to take them home with me! Can’t wait to see him again in a few months.

Remember Mr. N? He is already 3 months old! He’s got some new tricks, new smiles, and yes…he’s a heart breaker <3

I have been loving snow portraits this year, but not nearly as much as sweet Miss Evie!

Wonder where I can get a pair of these finger-less mitts. They’d be great for shooting…
There is nothing like catching snowflakes on your tongue. It makes you feel like a kid again, even if you are an old, crabby mom of 3!

*Smaller sizes as I prepare to transition to my new, mobile-friendly and redesigned site.

Mama Monday ~ My heart breaker

Over the weekend, I forced my children in front of the camera for some Valentine’s Day pictures to get working on the cards for their exchanges at school/daycare. After a few shots, my Sammers pulled out his dino tail. Each boy got one for Christmas, made by their Auntie, and they are awesome! At first I was thinking the dino tail shots would be outtakes, but the more I look at it…this might be the winning shot for Sam’s Valentine! (Contact me if you are interested in your own custom Valentines!)

Have a great week!

Looking back and looking forward to 2012

Happy New Year! Yes, I’m running a little late

Looking back on 2011, I am absolutely humbled by what my little business has become. In 2011, 39 families invited me into their lives to capture memories of their newborns, children, families, and pets, and I joined 2 amazing photographers (Tiffany Brubaker Photography and Bliss Photography) to celebrate 3 beautiful weddings. I can’t express how much I have adored these experiences.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

2011 was also a very challenging year, as I attempted to balance up a full-time career, 3 active kids, a relationship with my husband, up to 6 sessions in a week, with the editing, order fulfillment, and administration that goes with running a business. To say I was running on empty by the end of the year is an understatement. Changes are necessary for me to keep doing what I love, and that is spending time behind the camera with these amazing families. I hope to be able to fit in just as many sessions, but I need to spread them out better.

You may need to book a little further in advance in 2012 to get a session during my peak months.

I will no longer be fulfilling and delivering my own orders. After you place an order online, I will pass it on to my printer and have them ship the order directly to you. All orders will now be subject to a $5.00 shipping fee.

Online payments accepted! You can now pay online with credit or debit cards through Paypal (no account necessary). I am so excited to offer this flexibility. Of course, checks are still welcome. *Note: Make sure you use your coupon codes! If you pay your balance with Pay Pal, I won’t be able to tweak your total unless I give you a refund. This sounds like a headache for me and you. I think “Use your coupon codes may be my mantra for 2012!

To support the 2 previous changes, there will be a minimum print order of $50.

That’s it for now. No major pricing changes, just a few tweaks to ease the back end for me. There will also be some website changes coming in the next month, a special winter mini-session offer (like last year) and period specials on Facebook.

Now, how about a sneak peek of my holiday card (which is still unsent, on my counter–yes, it has been a busy couple of months!)

2 more graduates of my baby plan Jack and Hunter are a very fun, one!
We started with a few snow pictures for these winter babies.

Then a few warmer pictures…

Finally, the fun ones! Cake smash! These boys know how to do it right. I wish I had space to share just about every frame from the cake smash!

Max is 2! ~ West Concord, MN child photography

Max was one of my first baby planners, and now he is already 2! It has been awesome to watch him grow into the little charmer he is today. Lots to share, because I have so many favorites!

Peek-a-boo! Look at those little hands, already transitioning from chubby baby hands to slim boy hands.

Silly boy

I love his lashes!

Thanks for sharing your boy with me again Jenna!
