Mr. Sunshine {Child and Family Photography | Twin Cities, Minneapolis St. Paul Minnesota}

How nice to have a burst of sweet sunshine in the middle of a rough winter.  This adorable little guy and his parents came to the studio on the same day as his birthday party - he's turning two!  With those big blue eyes and his sweet personality, my heart completely melted.   I think his parents ought to test those baby blues out on the ice and snow around here - I think he could do some melting out there, too!

His mom had the sweetest idea for part of our session - she wanted to continue a family tradition started by her grandmother, who had two-year-old portraits made for all her children in a studio, with a simple white backdrop and white clothing, and the children smiling sweetly off-camera.  So we did that, too, along with some more modern shots in both studio and natural light.

Headshots for my Husband | {Portrait and Headshot Photography | Minneapolis St. Paul, MN}

This guy was such a handsome, witty, fun headshot client.  I was literally swooning the whole time.  I tell you, it's a good thing I'm married... TO HIM!

My husband hasn't had headshots taken since I did the last set with my point and shoot FILM camera in 1997.  So... it was time.  We did it up big!  These were all done in and around my photography studio in Burnsville, Minnesota.

Winter Seniors {Senior Photography | Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN}

This was a wonderfully unusual senior session.  First of all, there were three of them - triplets!  (I also have the wonderful honor of being their aunt.  A very proud aunt!)  Secondly, I don't do too many senior sessions in the wintertime.  But I love that we did it this way!  Something slightly different suits these three perfectly.

Meet my beautiful niece, who is off to study chemical engineering next year, my handsome nephew, a future mechanical engineer, and my other handsome nephew, a youth ministry leader and film, media, and video game producer-to-be.  Amazing young people.  Be glad the future of the world is in their hands.

A Winter Family Session {Family Photography | Twin Cities, Minneapolis St. Paul, MN}

The day of this session the outdoor temperature was well below zero degrees (F).  We did a whole lot of studio shots and then we decided to deal with the cold for a few minutes for the sake of a snowy, sunny backdrop.  Two of them had come up to Minnesota from Florida, so that was quite a feat of bravery and heartiness - I think they should be awarded extra points for it!

I had the most wonderful time with this family!  We laughed a lot and they were just so great to work with.
