Dodging Raindrops | Child Photographer | Mankato, MN

When Logan's mom sent me an email to set up Logan's 9 month session I couldn't believe the time had come so fast! We both could swear we just got done with his newborn session last week! 

We chatted about what Logan would wear and I instantly had an idea. Logan's mom is always willing to do any crazy thing I come up with, so I knew this was going to be fun. When I woke the morning of Logan's session it was overcast, cool and quite windy. The outdoor location we were planning on was surrounded by trees so I was hoping that would protect us from most of the wind gusts. It did start to sprinkle upon our arrival, but did stop so we could get in some great shots of Logan, and also Logan & Daddy! 

Even though the conditions may not have been perfect, and we had to dodge a few raindrops, Logan's session turned out fantastically well. He is such a happy little man with a great smile! I can't believe his Mom and I were discussing ideas for his 12 month session when he graduates from the Watch Me Grow program! Slow down Logan, you're growing too fast!

Long overdue | Lakefield, MN Photographer

The blog has been seriously neglected lately, BUT only because the studio has been quite busy lately. I LOVE it! I have been doing everything from newborns to commercial work, families to prom! It's been so great!

I'll try to start from where I left off...

Remember Jordan? She couldn't wait for her little man to get here....well he finally arrived on March 2nd. What a little bundle of love that little boy is! Such a little guy with so much love to give. Mommy was so in love with him from the moment she saw him, and I must say Nana and Papa were pretty in love too! Here are a few from Kaecyn's Newborn session:

Miss Gigi also celebrated her 1 year birthday! Gigi is our very first Watch Me Grow "graduate"! I can't believe a whole year has passed already, I remember going to take her newborn photos. Time sure flies when you're having fun, and Gigi sure is a fun little girl! Here are a few from Gigi's year session:

Little Lillian came to visit us as well. After 2 boys, mom finally got a little girl to pamper :) She was wide awake and didn't want to go to sleep no matter what we tried. As soon as we were finished and she got into her carseat she zonked right out :)  Here are a few from Lillian's Newborn session:

Meet Miss Khloe. Such a little peanut. Her older brother Spencer came with mom too, and was a big help in the studio playing with toys :) Khloe came to visit us from Wabasso. I got the pleasure of taking mom and dad's wedding portraits as well! Here are a few from Khloe's Newborn session:

Chelsey & Nick also celebrated the arrival of their little man, Connor. Connor decided to make his appearance a whole 5 weeks early! He was ready to meet the world! Connor was sure a little chatter box when he came to visit the studio, I love baby jabber! Here are a few from Connor's Newborn session:

Then we had Sofia who is now 6 months old, what a happy little girl! We decided to play with some bubbles, and she was mesmerized by them! We got some great smiles once again from Sophia. Here are a few from her 6 month session:

PROM! What high school student doesn't look forward to prom? When I was approached by one of my favorite :) Volleyball players, asking if I would take photos at Southwest Star Concept's Prom, how could I turn it down! I was so excited to be asked, I couldn't wait! The students did a great job decorating. Everything looked so amazing, and they didn't look to bad themselves ;)  Here are a few from Prom:

I was also given the opportunity to take some headshots and some other super FUN shots for a business based out of Lakefield. 2SmartWomen is a newer business to the area offering Marketing opportunities for your business. Lori and Mary were so much fun, I haven't laughed as much, or as hard, as I did during their session. They were so much fun, I look forward to working with them again! Here are a few from their session:

Next on the calendar was a gorgeous Mama who was ready for her little one to come any day. Pregnancy sure suits Brianna well, isn't she just beautiful!?!?!  We also snuck in some family photos as well as some portraits of her little guy, Hunter who just celebrated his second birthday! We went to a local park and enjoyed the beautiful morning, and finished up in the studio. Stay tuned for Brianna & Dylan's little ones Newborn session! Here are some from Brianna's session:

Now comes Graduation. I was also asked to take the Southwest Star Concept Class of 2012 graduating class photo. We had a beautiful day for photos. What a good looking class! Good Luck and Congratulations to the Class of 2012!

This blog post was long overdue. I promise to try and keep on top of my posts from now on! Happy Summer!
