People I love....

After yesterday's sad NEWS I decided to post a HAPPY blog! 

These two little chitl'n are the off spring of one of my favorite people. 

We met at a Mom's Club a few years back and our friendship has kinda stuck!! 

She is just full of whimsy! 

She is kind, fun, stylish, and has her head on straight! 

She has been there to listen to me laugh or even cry sometimes! 

She is truly a best friend to me....I hope I am just as good a friend to her! 

I think I have some big shoes to fill! 

 

I LOVE you Katie!!

 

(OH and Katie, just so you know if Rob and I go before our kids are grown you are who we

TRUST to raise our children!!)

The END.....

Well folks this is a difficult post to write and I'm not even sure where to begin or how many of you will actually read it?!

  After 7.5 years of being in business as a professional photographer I'm saying "goodbye"

Don't cry just yet...there is still time to get in one last session with me as my doors will close November 20th 2012.

This is something that has been weighing on my heart for awhile now and I think it's finally the right time to bow out!

I could go on about the market being over saturated with photographers BUT in all reality I need to take some "ME" time.

 I am a Mother of 2 now. My whole mom career I have been running a company AND juggle everything else in life. (some of which I've handled OK and others I've failed at)

I want to just be a Mom, a Wife, a Friend, and a Family member!!

I also want to actually do the 'other' things in life that interest me! 

(crafting, home decor, party decor, floral arrangements, jewelry making, upholstery, etc) 

 

I'm keeping my studio, blog, website and Facebook page so please please please still leave me some love as I will need allot of it on this next journey in my life!

 

I hope to blog about my likes, dislikes, boring things going on in my life as well as deep things. I hope to blog about projects I'm working on, friendships I'm building, and most of all ME. 

 

It may take some time to get my thoughts out as I don't consider myself a writer but there is MORE to me then just a 'photographer'! 

Although you wont see me far from my camera as it's pretty much how I see the world.

 

Thank you to all my clients and friends that have supported me along the way! 

I've learned so much about people, business, the arts, and most of all myself on this journey as a photographer! Thank you to those that brought me out of my shell....thank you to those that treated me like their best friend even thou we just met!  Thank you to my husband for being there through it all ...thick or thin!!  You were the one that pushed me to start this photography journey in the first place!!  You believed in me when I didn't believe in myself!!  You are truly an amazing person!  Thank you to my daughter who lite up every time I would come home from a session and who grew to be patient during HER sessions!!  Look at you now sweet heart...you are a ROCK STAR!!

 

Thank you ALL!! 

 

A post wouldn't be complete with out a picture, so here is one that I did NOT take but it depicts what my next adventure will be all about!! 

Black & White.....LOVE

Alright everyone I'm show casing something new....I'm only posting the Black & White images from this adorable session the other week! 

Two brothers ....worlds apart but oh so fun! 

I LOVE their blue eyes and red hair BUT there was something about the absence of color that captured me this time! 

So I decided to feature only the b&w images from this session. 

The last image is in color for fun!! 

 

ENJOY!!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE check out this amazing organization dedicated to capturing the smiles of brave children (of all ages) with rare conditions! 

 

I have captured a few families over the years...all with a special story. 

This young lady was no exception. 

She had her first open heart surgery at the age of 19 and will have her next one in 5 years. 

Her rare heart condition was leading her to major fatigue. Even going on walks she would have to stop and rest or head inside for some AC. Naps were a must and sleeping 12+ hours a night. 

During her session she was so energetic you NEVER would have known she had just had major surgery a few days prior!!
 

 I hope you are doing well Miss Smith.....keep strong and I hope to see you again someday!!

 

ENJOY 

 

year after year......

Well it was that time again....to capture some of my favorite little clients. 

Year after Year I get to snap images of these two siblings growing older, growing bigger, growing smarter, growing bigger  personalities....and I just simply LOVE it!!! 

These two rocked there session held in and around my Minneapolis studio!! 

ENJOY

Beautiful Baby Britta.....

OH MY....what a peanut this little lady was!! 

Britta brought along her mom, dad and big brother Logan!! 

Logan is pretty famous in my studio....he is up on the wall as a newborn himself!! 

I just love this family and most of all I love to see them so happy with one of each....

....first a boy now a girl!!

ENJOY!!
