The Schuette Family

Just another day at the beach! Who ever thought sand between the toes could be so much fun...these little ones did! We had a blast!

 

 

One Little Sister...Three Big Brothers

I don't even think beautiful describes this family! I had the absolute pleasure of photographing these four gorgeous children (oh, and their parents, too)! We had an awesome afternoon...maybe next time we raid the ice cream cooler!

Three Families, One Farm

Here in Minnesota, the days have shortened and the cold weather is starting to set in. However, that doesn't stop hearty Minnesotans from braving the cold north wind cutting through the farm to get their family portraits done. Thank you, Schlueter, Kittelsen & Weckman families, for having me. It was cold, but we survived!

The Schuette Family

As I'm editing these photos, I'm being reminded every minute that I need to be patient. My computer is going the slowest is could possibly go...and for me, that's not good at all. Seriously, I think I got a load of laundry washed, dried, folded and put away all the while my computer is laughing at me while it's saving ONE file! I have to say, though, the outcome was well worth the test of patience! These kiddos are adorable! Thank you, Schuette family, for teaching me patience today...even if you didn't know you were doing it!

I couldn't resist adding this last one...he has just the cutest full lips ever!

Little Miss Addison

There is something to be said about photographing a baby! What I have to say is that it's an absolute joy! This little one didn't want to sleep too much, so we seized our moments when we could. What we ended up with were beautiful photographs that mom & dad will cherish for years to come. Congratulations Shane & Jessica!

The Hagen Family

Despite the cooler temperatures and the breezes blowing from the north, we had a fun morning.

I can't say enough about this family...BEAUTIFUL...comes to mind...both inside and out! Thank you, Tim & Kamille for sharing your boys with me! We had a blast!

The Hoxie Family

Boy, is this dad blessed...four beautiful ladies in the house! It was a chilly, but beautiful morning to be down by the lake!

Hoese Generations

I was fortunate enough to be asked to photograph this beautiful family with grandpa's prized possession on the family homestead...a restored John Deere. What was even more fun was watching grandpa drive it out to the field and have the kids chasing behind...then climbing onto it and asking can I drive it, can I steer it, make it go faster grandpa.The smiles were priceless.

The Kehrberg Family

This family was very blessed to be able to take advantage of one more of our beautiful fall days we were blessed with here in Minnesota. Thank you, Kehrbergs, for a fun morning!

The Vacek Family

It was quite windy this day, so it did limit us a bit on where we could go. A block wall can do wonders to stopping the wind...and that's exactly what it did.

Thank you for putting up with the cold wind! The outcome, however, was great!

The Hayes Family

What a fun family to photograph! And this little boys smile...I just can't get enough of it! Thank you, Hayes family, for an awesome morning!

Studio 241 & Lime Canary Vintage Rentals

A huge THANK YOU to my dear friend Andrea for letting me use her farm...her husband for putting up with all the traffic...for my wonderful friends Lisa, Sue & Megan who ran...moved...hauled props...braved the blustery wind...stood on their feet all day...blocked the sun from all those little eyes...Amanda for the use of the beautiful red couch! 

It was an absolute hit! I can't thank you enough!

I can't give away all the great ones...those remain to be seen by the families. I will however, give you a sneak peak at the first ones edited! Despite the wind, it turned out to be a beautiful day!

The Claus Family

Thank you for sharing your family with me!

What beautiful blessings!

The Moy Family

What do you get when you combine two really cute boys, lots of room to run, and juicy juicy apples...oh, and don't forget one very relaxed mom...wonderful family memories! Thank you, Moy family, for an absolutely beautiful afternoon at the apple orchard!
