Madison | 10 Days New | Stillwater Newborn Photographer

Madison is probably the first newborn baby to sleep through the entire photo session this year. I was literally amazed. I wish they all went so smoothly! Plus I got to use some of my brand new newborn sets from Roses & Ruffles, Celeste & Co, craftnikki, and The Shacky Chick Boutique.

Dear Santa, please bring me more newborn props for Christmas. Oh and more little precious babies like Madison :)

I'M BACK!!!

Sorry, I took a super long break from my blog! Life got busy, Facebook seemed to take-over my social media posting and then it hit me, I need to keep up on my blog! I need a place to interact with my clients and to share info about what's new. So I am officially back! Please check here often. I promise to post lots. There are tons of new things coming and I'm so excited to share them! Here are some cute baby pictures to welcome you back... Meet Hudson

Lil Miss Scarlett | White Bear Lake Childrens Photographer

I've been photographing this cutie since she was inside her mama's belly! So excited that Scarlett was a member of my Baby Plan - Bellies & Bebes. I had the opportunity to photograph her as she grew in her 1st year. She is so adorable and her parents are pretty cute, too :) Can't wait to photograph this family again soon!!

I love the belly shoot because the strong connection between mom and dad can be captured. The newborn session because they are so tiny and precious. The 6 month shoot is great because they are alert, but can't crawl away yet :) And the 1 year is a blast because they can show you what they've learned and smash that cake to pieces!

If you or someone you know is expecting, please check out my Bellies & Bebes program. It's affordable, but the memories you'll get from it are priceless!

Baby Grayson . . . the new man in my life :) | Twin Cities Baby Photographer

Okay so it's been a reeeaally long time since I've posted anything to my blog, but I did have an excuse. I was reeeaally pregnant! So I'm starting off my 2012 blog with images of my favorite ONE MONTH baby boy . . .  meet Grayson Jerome! I am so blessed to have this healthy little one in my life and I'm enjoying every minute of him. I am back in the studio though and Grayson has even assisted me with some recent photo sessions. I'll post some of those images on here soon, but for now enjoy these of my little pumpkin . . .
