Audrina | Windom, MN Family Photographer |

You should recognize this little cutie from a couple months ago. She's gotten big in those few short months, and look at all that hair!

Mom called and said she would like to do some Christmas card photos. I had a few ideas, and she was ready for anything. It was a little more challenging this time, as Audrina can now crawl...fast!

She was a trooper and let us try a bunch of different set ups with her. Those eyes, and that smile of hers, light up a room. Such a happy little girl!

While I was there Mom also asked me to take photos for her new website. She makes hair accessories and hats for little girls and boys. They are so cute! Make sure you check out Zia's Creations!

Cenzano Family - Windom, MN Family Photographer -

Introducing our Contest Winners!

Not too long ago I had a referral contest on my Facebook page, and the Cenzano's were the winners. What a wonderful family to have won the contest. Not only are the 2 boys completely adorable, but this family was so much fun to work with. Mom had some great ideas of her own and was willing to let me try anything I had up my sleeve. It was a brisk morning for the outdoor family shoot, so everyone had their smiles ready so we could head back to the studio to finish up with some portraits of the boys, and the grand finale Big Brother K couldn't wait for.....the cake smash!

Brooke's Senior Session, Take 2 - Senior Portrait Photographer -

For the finale of Brooke's senior portraits I found a great location I knew I had to try. Since she was willing to do anything I asked, I knew she was my girl :) I had some things I wanted to try, and I think they turned out great. Thanks again Brooke!

Boles Family -Lake Park, IA Family Photographer-

I have to start out by saying I absolutely love this family. They are just an amazing group of people. I've known them for what seems like forever, and have watched the two girls grow into beautiful young women. I felt absolutely honored when they asked if I would take some family portraits for them. You might recognize Brooke from her Senior portraits I have done. Well, I would like to introduce you do the rest of the Boles Family. Aren't they a gorgeous bunch!?!

All Boys - SW MN Family Photographer -

This Mom definitely has her hands full with her three adorable sons! We have done her youngest, Laiten's pictures in the past, and for this session we not only did family portraits, but also included Laiten's 9 month portraits as well as her middle son Jace's 3 year portraits. I found a beautiful location along the lake and they were willing to try anything. The boys are full of spunk and had their own ideas of what they wanted to do, so we compromised and got some great shots! It was such a fun session. Thanks again Jorgensen Family!

Keep it in the Family

When I was asked by my Sister-in-law to take her family pictures I was both excited and, admittedly, a little nervous. I mean I strive for great photos with every session, but this was FAMILY, so I was extra critical of myself and wanted to make sure I got the perfect shot. THE ONE.

It was a chilly Sunday morning, and we met at the in-laws farm. Once we got the kids rounded up, and shoes on their feet we were ready. She had already scoped out a few places she wanted to try, so we loaded up in the golf cart (6 of us on a golf cart mind you) and were off to our destinations. We made a few stops around the farm, had quite a few laughs, and even had a couple animals that wanted to be included in the portraits as well.

All in all it turned out to be a beautiful morning for their session, and we got some great smiles out of all of them. It could have had something to do with the bag of jellybeans I had stashed in my camera bag, I guess we'll never know :)
