Pushing the button!

SHAMELESS PLOY ALERT!!!!!!! Push the "become a fan" button on the facebook link and you can see more of these silly pictures! Please nobody call the humane society- these two tough dogs are ours and we would never subject your pets to the same torment (unless you wanted us to.....). I made the mistake of asking people on the "fan" page what they wanted to see and they came up with Puppies eating ice cream dressed like a princess so that's what I did! Just for the record we will not be fulfilling all of the requests but we will do what we can. Hope you enjoy and click on the "become" a fan button.

Cori's Maternity Session

It is not everyday that I get to go to Austin Minnesota to visit the home of the Packers but it is always worth it when I do! One of my favorite parts about what I do is getting to know and sharing some of the best experiences with people that life has to offer- I have been fortunate enough to photograph Cori when she was "crowned" in the pageant scene, her engagement, her wedding and now her maternity session!

Those of you who have been paying attention to the blog will notice the new button that allows you to follow us on the studio as well- Give it a click, become a fan, and you will get to see even more from this fun session! Enjoy the images~

Audrey's 6 month session

Being on location rocks! Smiles, fun, lots of wardrobe available and cool things like a pool table to play with (never thought it was a good idea to have a pool table at the studio!). We just picked up some new tools to make it even easier to make great portraits wherever we need to and are loving the freedom it allows us. Hope you enjoy these images and keep an eye on the blog coming up as we are going to have lots of fun stuff to show you.

Fun stuff on location

Do you and your family have a favorite place to go? Why not create family keepsakes there! Lots of locations have no problem letting you bring along a photographer- some require permits, some require begging but in the end with a little research you can find a favorite place on your list that we allow you to create keepsakes! Another bonus- you aren't trying to create the images- you can relax and enjoy the whole experience and interact instead of interrupt!

Here is Ella, she is turning 2, just like most two year olds she has the energy that if harnassed could power an entire city! We had a great time and I have a feeling she went to bed early that night after all of the fun we had! Enjoy the preview~

Maternity Sessions

Maternity time!!! I have a fun session coming up this weekend and a wife on the nest so it got me thinking.........Does everyone know that I do maternity sessions? Well hopefully after reading that you are aware of it and if you are expecting we would love to photograph this amazing time in your life. I will post all the fun we with Sundays session next week but here is a sneak of some other sessions. Notice the last image- that is what happens in the last 20 weeks of your pregnancy- we had a mom come in every week for 24 weeks so we could capture it- the finished product is style "under construction" but I hope you enjoy how far we got with it.

What are you doing for your business????

So we have all heard it- tough economy, every dollar counts- we need to personalize our business and really set our selves apart! So who is actually doing it- I know one group who is for sure- personalized b-day cards, professional images for their website and just an inclusive attitude saying that "you are part of the fun too"!

Great financial planning from www.ameriprise.com search for a broker- Ginger Ewing or Lisa Hjelm- Great people on your side!

We can shoot green screen to create fun "outside the box" images or create clean professional head shots for you and your team- The last two shots are as is right out of the camera- no photo shop (except the borders and the contact info!)- perfectly lit beautiful images ready to put to work for you company!

Baby Grady

Welcome to the world baby Grady! He is less than a week old in these images and has it all in front of him (his 3 month session, his 6 month session, 9 month and year that is!)...... We were fortunate enough to photograph Grady's parents wedding a few years ago- Can't argue with the results!!!!

So who wouldn't want images like this of their new born child (pretty sure only communists)? It is actually affordable ($99.00 for all of the sessions) and realistically you will never get a second chance to make these images!

A homecoming

I have said it before and I am sure that I will say it again- I have one of the best jobs in the world!!! Weddings, Births, homecomings and watching families grow over the years- I get to be a part of all of it and for that I am sincerely thankful. Speaking of thankful- My thanks goes out to Rob for the sacrifices he and his family made for the greater good through his service. I can't imagine the joy, relief and unbelievable happiness these guys/gals felt to be reunited after a long separation- Enjoy the sneak peak and thank you to Rob, Lisa and the family for letting me be a part of such a special homecoming.
