The E Family {MN Family Photographer}

I had to hold off on this blog post because these photos were being used for Christmas gifts-- perfect idea!! This session took place one GORGEOUS October Saturday. We couldn't have had a nicer day, though not all of the children would maybe agree with that ;) It took some help from the ring pops to coax them into cooperating, but hey- we'll always remember the day right? Thanks E Family! You had great ideas and props along-- always fun :) I guess this is no sneak peek since you have your files in hand already--- but a peek for the rest of us!

A Couple of Cuties... {MN Child Photographer}

Just wanted to share a few quick photos from a photo session earlier this fall with these two extra special cuties-- how adorable are they?? It was also quite interesting when little sister lost her shoe in the leaves and we had to sift through about a football field size tract of land to find it haha

The K Family {MN Family Photographer}

Ok- now while these photos show we DID get some smiles out of little Miss S--- boy did she make us work for them! haha- She is simply adorable but not much for being in front of the camera...she was MUCH more interested in checking out my camera, pressing buttons, seeing what I saw haha-- do we have a future photographer on our hands here? ;) This session was on one of our last "warm" days of fall-- maybe we'll have another streak here, but not sure it will happen again, so lucky for the K Family! Enjoy your sneak peek!

The P Family {MN Family Photographer}

Ok--- honestly--- how adorable is this family!?! Loved this session! While it may have been QUITE breezy and a tad chilly, we made do with a few breaks for warm ups and we worked in shifts ;) All in all though I'm really happy with the results. SUCH a cute and loving group!! Big brother J had already been through the Holly D training course though -- you may recognize him as one of my seniors from this year as well. I also got a quick preview of the family's plans for some wall portrait galleries and I cannot WAIT to see what they pick out and hopefully see them once fully installed in their home? (hint hint photos please ;) ) Thanks so much P family for asking me out to your place for a photo session-- again, what a great crew! Enjoy the sneak peek!!

The H Family {MN Family Photographer}

This session had been in the works for QUITE some time! The kids wanted to give a family photo session to their parents for their anniversary and wanted to plan it after the arrival of the little baby C in the fall. We took these photos out at the parents property and actually found quite the perfect spot for a windy fall day! While not ALL the color was left on the trees, we still I believe had a very nice backdrop and the family coordinated so well with the colors and apparently it was not even planned! Couple all that with two adorable little boys and you've got the makings for a great family photo session ;) Seriously, how can you not smile at these little boys!! So happy we could work together to create a very special gift in celebration of an anniversary--- what a great idea! I've had a lot of these sessions this year, the PERFECT gift! Thanks so much H Family- enjoy the sneak peek!

The W Family {MN Family Photographer}

I met up with the Wallace family on one WINDY day last week! It was windy, rain seemed to be looming, but we made the BEST of it and still got the job done with some gorgeous photos in a special place to them, SO special I was nearly blindfolded on the drive in so I wouldn't know exactly where they were taking me haha! Jamie is the owner of Calla Lily Designs http://www.callalilydesigns.com/ here in Fergus Falls, amazing designer here if you need one!! I had to watch myself not to get too "romantic" with these photos according to the hubby haha, but you know me, I can't resist some lovey dovey photo ops ;) What sweet pups they had along too. Oh, and PS, I tried my best to get that hat off too, but it wouldn't budge, even in the wind ;) Thanks Wallace Family! Enjoy your sneak peek!

The R Family {MN Family Photographer}

This family booked me for their fall family photo shoot MONTHS prior to the actual appointment on the HOPES we'd pick the right weekend for the best fall colors.....well they could not have picked better, this was THE peak weekend for fall colors and the result- GORGEOUS family shots! What a FUN family! Smiles and laughter a-plenty, except for little T, he was either really happy or...well....not haha ;) A long as we talked about airplanes and put grass in our hair we were best of friends though ;) Such a fun and beautiful family- it was a joy to spend time out on their property with them on this gorgeous fall day! Thank you so much R family! Enjoy your sneak peek!!

The J Family {MN Family Photographer}

Meet the J Family. Yes, the second J Family I'm blogging about in a span of a few hours haha. I met up with the J Family at their home for their family portrait session. At first I thought big brother was going to make things QUITE interesting as he was NOT enthused to have his photo taken....or so he would have us believe......within not too long and just a bit of coaxing from me he was posing, hamming it up, throwing out shot ideas, and being the best helper ever! What a turnaround! You just have to let the kids come out of their shells a bit and then you can really get cracking. It was a gorgeous night for photos and with the fall colors just starting to turn we got some great colors in these shots and what a well-coordinated family too! I couldn't have planned it better myself! :) It was so fun meeting you J family-- enjoy your sneak peek!
