Catching up!~Beginning of August

Kylie is 1!! Happy Birthday!

We have had so much fun taking Kylie's pictures. She is such a cutie! We waited out the rain and then headed to the Stone Arch Bridge. I just love the urban look! My favorite part of taking her pictures is to see what amazing outfits Natalie has for her. Happy 1st birthday Kylie!!!

Bennett, Gina and Andy

Gina, Andy and Bennett headed to the cites from St. Cloud to get their family pictures taken. We went to Minnehaha Falls and it was the perfect day to be there. It had just rained and the falls were perfect. Bennett is full of personality and so easy to take pictures of.

The Bergs

It is always fun to take pictures of my sister and her family. We usually have Doug bring his camera to her house or my parent's house and hope to get some cute shots of the kids. This time we decided to head to Norenberg Gardens and I am so happy that we did. It was a perfect morning and we got some of the best pictures of my adorable niece and nephew!!

Thaden is 9 months!!

We headed to the beach to take Thaden's 9 month pictures. It was the perfect location. We have taken his pictures every three months and he is alway perfect! He is full of smiles and his big blue eyes are amazing!

Kristen and Joe are married!!

Doug and I had such a wonderful weekend with Kristen and Joe. They had a beautiful sunset wedding on Friday night with their family at Joe's family cabin. There was so much love in the air. Kristen could not stop smiling- she was just beaming all day. On Saturday, they had their reception at the Fortune Bay Casino. It was such a fun party! We were so happy to be part of this special weekend!

Catching up!~July

Doug and I have been so lucky to have been so busy with photo shoots all summer long. This has caused me to be WAY behind on our blog!! Here are some of our photo shoots that we took in July.

The Adrian's

We were so excited to go back to the home of Jan and Joe and take pictures of their whole family! All of their daughters we in town so it was the perfect opportunity to take some family pictures at their amazing home on White Bear Lake. It was a perfect morning!

The Winter's

Doug and I always love to take pictures of our friend's families. It is always so laid back and filled with laughs. We went to the Winter's house and were thrilled to see all the great spots to take pictures. The prairie grass was in full bloom and the dirt road next to their house was perfect!

Happy 1st Birthday Jaiden!

Jaiden was so fun to take pictures of. His eyes were so intense and he made the cutest facial expressions. We all walked around the Sculpture Gardens and took a ton of pictures. My favorite one is the one on the top left where we told them to sit on the grass and just play with Jaiden! I think it is the perfect shot of their cute family!

The Klinkhammer's

We met the Klinkhammer's at their house and took a little road trip to a park by the Mississippi River. It was the perfect location. It also makes it super easy when the the whole family is so photogenic! It was such a fun early afternoon!!

Happy Birthday Jack!!!

We had so much fun capturing all of Jack's adorable facial expressions! He is such a happy little guy! It was also great to spend the morning with one of my roommates from collage.

Jeffrey and Grace

Lisa and I have know each other our whole lives. It was so fun to go out to her beautiful new house and take pictures of her family! Jeffrey and Grace are so sweet! I love the pictures where Grace is looking over her shoulder at Doug, what an adorable expression!

Addison, Jackson, Kennedy and Cousins

It was so fun to come back to the Berling's house and see how big the twins have gotten. Last time we saw them was in Decemeber and they were crawling, now they are running everywhere!! Addison was as cute as always! I love how she always has the biggest smile on her face and is a huge help with the twins. It was also fun to get some pictures with their cousins who were in town for a visit.

Miles

This kid had such a great smile and huge personality! He made our job super easy!! It was so fun to spend some time with him and his mother. There were a lot of laughs!

Peyton is 1!!

Happy 1st Birthday Peyton! We have had so much fun taking Peyton's pictures every 3 months. Her and her brother, Sam are so adorable! Check out her pink cowboy boots!

Kai's 3rd birthday party!

We had so much fun taking pictures at Kai's Backyard Barnyard Birthday! They rented a petting zoo to come to their house and the children could not have been more excited to see all the animals when they showed up in the backyard! There was chickens, a pony, a lama, sheep, ducks, bunnies and a huge barn dog. Kai had to give all the animals a hug before they left. It was a party that he will never forget!

Sevy and Leo

Doug and I showed up on a raining morning at the Adrian's home. Even though we were not able to take outdoor pictures, we found some great spots around this beautiful home to capture this cute family! Sevy and Leo were so adorable! Check out Sevy's big blue eyes~they are amazing!

Mark and Heidi

Mark and Heidi had a beautiful backyard wedding! There was so much love in the air, it made our job very easy. They both had huge smiles on their faces from the moment that they saw each other!

Chad and Morgan

Doug and I were very excited when Chad and Morgan asked us to travel to Illinois to capture their wedding day! They got married at Morgan's grandfather's farm, we could not asked for a more beautiful setting to take pictures at. Congrats Morgan and Chad! We had an amazing time with you at your wedding!!!

Cousins

We spent the evening with Lauren, Lucy, Margeaux and Chloe at Como Park. The girls had so much fun running around and letting Doug take their pictures. At the end of the photo shoot the three oldest girls ended up in the water fall and they were soaked from head to toe! They had so much fun, and so did we!!

Allie, Jackson and Trooper!

We took Allie and Jackson's pictures about 6 months ago and we were so excited to come back and take them again. We had the perfect morning and Allie and Jackson were so adorable! I love the picture of Allie, Jackson and Trooper. We told Allie to go sit by Jackson and Trooper and she sat down, hugged Jackson and put a huge smile on her face. We all knew that it was going to turn out great!! You also have to love Jackson's serious face in the bottom right- what a ham!

Fabozzi Family

 

We could not have asked for a better location, sunlight, or a more adorable family.   We let the girls run around and play, and let Doug cature them just being themselves.  We took these girls pictures last summer, so it was so fun to see them again.  

Kylie

 

Kylie was so fun to capture.  She is so cute!  We spent the morning at Como Zoo and Como Park.  Check out her pink outfit, I am not sure it gets any more adorable.  

Thaden

 

Thaden is already 6 months old!  He was full of smiles from the minute we got there.  Almost every pictures we got of him, he had a huge smile on his face....so cute!!  He made our job super easy!!

Liz and Michael

 

Congratulations Liz and Michael!  We always love taking pictures at weddings, but it is so fun when it is our good friends!  Liz was stunning and Michael was handsome as always.  They had a perfect day from start to finish.  We are so happy that they are now husband and wife!  

Wyatt

 

Happy 1st Birthday Wyatt!!  We always love taking pictures of baby Wyatt.  He has the cutest facial expressions, he already knows style, and his hair is so CUTE!  The natural light in their house made it very easy to capture his bright blue eyes.

Peyton and Sam

 

Peyton is 9th months old!  WOW, how time flies!  We have taken Peyton's pictures when she was 3 month, 6 months and we can't wait to take her 1 year pictures in June!!  We always love to sneak in a few pictures of Sam and a few family pictures too.  I am in LOVE with the family picture at the bottom right....it is so fun when Doug captures kids belly laughing!

The Kral Family

 

It is always a treat to take pictures for the Kral's!  Shannon is one of my very best friends from college.  She and her beautiful family live by St. Cloud, so we love to make a day of it.  Miss Alexia was born in January, so we had to take some pictures for her birth announcements.  We also got some amazing family photos.  I love the one where they are all looking at Alexia!    

Ruby and Ella

 

We had a blast with Rudy and Ella.  We started in their basement where Rudy has a swing, an amazing playroom and fun kids music playing on the ipod.  She was so easy to photgraph.  Ella was also all smiles.  She loves to have her tongue out, which made the pictures so cute!  After we took some great pictures of the girls,  their cousins showed up to take some pictures of the whole family for their Grandma.  We got some great group pictures, and I think that colors are so amazing!!  It was so fun to meet such an amazing family!
