Boys!

I had lots of fun with these boys. It's amazing how much energy boys have. If only I had like 10% of it!

Owen! | Shafer, MN Family Photographer

I had the pleasure of taking pictures of this sweet little family with a sweet little guy named Owen. Isn't he so flippin cute? He was such a good little guy even though it was around a million percent humidity.

Bevin and Joshua | Siren, WI Wedding Photographer

I had my first wedding of the season this last Saturday. It was a beautiful outdoor wedding, and luckily the weather was absolutely perfect! Congrats to Bevin and Joshua! Such a cute couple!

Graysen

A couple weeks ago, I had the privilege of capturing this little guy's first birthday. And now that I think of it, I don't think I have posted any pics on the blog from that day. Hmmm....sorry about that. If I get a chance I will post them, otherwise there is some on my Facebook page. ANYWAY, Graysen couldn't be cuter. He was such a great sport and so cooperative too! That is normally hard for 1 year olds. They don't have time for pictures, they just want to explore, and I don't blame them one bit!

Spring photo session giveaway!

Check out my Facebook page, I am giving away 1 free photosession!

Ava and Family

I had the extreme pleasure of photographing this beautiful family. This is not the first time I have taken pictures of Ava, you can see her here and here. Ahhh...I can't believe she is so big now. You can surely see the change in my photography as well from those past pictures.
We managed though the SNOW that fell at times during the photo session. Yes, snow. It was yesterday, May 1st! That is what we get for living in Minnesota I guess. Such a great family. And hopefully not too far in the future they will be adding another member to their family through adoption. The family pictures that I took for them will be used for a part of the adoption process. I wish them the absolute best! They are such great parents to Ava and I am excited to meet this new little one!

Fun at their house!

These 2 little sweeties were so much fun. This family invited me into their beautiful home to take pictures for them. I had lots of fun playing with Ivan and snuggling up to the sweet new baby sister.

The Gingers

I had so much fun with these guys! Lauren was down for anything and the boys were great sports. When Lauren texted me the night before about where we were going to meet and stuff she said they would be "the 3 gingers." I thought about it, and call me what you will, but I had no idea what that meant. I asked Caleb and he said they are probably all red heads. Well that made sense, and that is exactly what they are. Beautiful red headed siblings. Both of these guys are in the Army. Nick, the guy in the black shirt is actually on a little vacation (I am not sure what the correct term is for that) from currently being stationed in Afghanistan. He goes back next week I believe. Andrew has also been in the army and when I took these pictures it was the first time all 3 gingers have been together in 5 years! What a wonderful idea to get some fabulous pictures done. They had fun doing this and you can tell were just happy to be around each other. How lucky am I to capture it! I love my job!
