George and Charlie

Thursday, April 22, 2010 Posted in Babies, Family

I love this family! I have been photographing Charlie for 4 years now. I can’t believe how old he is getting….I took George’s newborn shots….it was so much fun to see him now at the age of 6 months. The whole time we were taking pictures at my studio his eyes were glued to Charlies. He is just in love with him. They are such great brothers and make each other smile.

The Hodgson Family….

Thursday, April 22, 2010 Posted in Uncategorized

The Hodgson Family is such a sweet family….I took pictures of Jack’s 1st year and they added Grant to their family over a month ago. Six days after giving birth Jess found out some life changing news….she went to the hospital because she was having trouble breathing….hours later she was admitted to the hospital and was told she has cancer….

My mom is a cancer survivor and instantly could relate to what her and her family were going through….since time goes so fast and in times like this can become a blur I felt so fortunate to document this hour with the family. There smiles warmed my heart… Jess is a strong beautiful women, mom and wife…..to read more of Jess’s story please go to her blog http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/jesshodgson

Jackson is 2 – Minneapolis Childrens Photographer

Wednesday, April 14, 2010 Posted in Uncategorized

So if you have been following my blog you have seen the pictures I have taken of my nephew since he was a newborn… I am going to go ahead and just admit it…this might have been one of my hardest sessions! Jackson is at “that age” and usually I can get kids to smile and have fun with me but because Jackson knows me he was being difficult for me as well! But when looking through the pictures even though I barely got any smiles out of him and some of his fun faces I feel like these pictures really captured who he is right now….I hope my sister agrees :)

I was SO excited to get into the studio last week. I went to an amazing newborn workshop 2 weekends ago and was excited to use my new techniques. Cameron just turned 2.5 weeks and was such a great baby to photograph. His mommy looks amazing and I was excited to get a shot with her looking at her new little one…..enjoy these photos…I am so excited about them!

30 days of yoga

Friday, February 5, 2010 Posted in Personal

I did it! I just got done with 30 days of yoga. It was a great experience…. my amazing yoga studio sigh yoga put on a 30 day challenge. Its amazing how doing yoga on a consistent basis can make you feel. Its been a great thing for me….if you want to try out yoga I highly recommend sigh. Now the new challenge is eliminate something in your life for the month of February and for some reason I decided Chocolate was a good idea! I am craving it like you wouldn’t believe. I am the kind of girl that has chocolate at least 3 to 4 times a day. I am thinking on March 1st I am going to have a big slice of chocolate cake!

best buddies…

Monday, January 25, 2010 Posted in Family, Personal

Ollie and Jackson are best buds and its so cute to see them together. When Jackson comes over to my house he runs around saying “chase me Ohh-ti” its so cute to see them play and interact. Here are a few pictures that we took when my family celebrated Christmas. In the pictures are Ollie, Jackson and my two sisters Natalie and Liz….they definitely look like twins and somehow I fit in the middle.
