Winter Drive by Shooting

IMG_8929Do you like the self portrait in the one below?!IMG_8933IMG_8936-2

The vastness of the blue skies yesterday was mesmerizing.IMG_8938IMG_8943IMG_8948IMG_8949IMG_8951IMG_8953IMG_8957IMG_8959IMG_8969_filtered

My partner in crime while I was shooting. Which in turn would gain me the occasional, “Can you move mom so I can get this shot.” Hmmmmm.IMG_8972IMG_8984IMG_8989_filteredIMG_8991_filtered

The temperature was just right and the sky was amazing. So glad I had a chance to get out a little and capture the Minnesota Winter. We haven’t had much to capture of it up to this point, so I was thankful to get a little glimpse of it for now.

Serious Senior Shoot

I was thankful to be asked to do C’s Senior shoot last year. He is an amazing kid and I was blessed to capture him. If you notice that he is serious in most of his pictures, well, it is because he is. Most of the time. He does smile and laugh when in the right moment, but it isn’t his nature and  you know what, that is okay. It doesn’t stop him from being an amazing kid.IMG_0395-2IMG_0425-3IMG_0244-2IMG_0245IMG_0278IMG_0361IMG_0316-2IMG_0406IMG_0383 copy

Walking the Day Before the Cold Came

It was such an amazing day. Shocking that we could play outside and enjoy the fifty degree weather. ALL before it turned to below ten degrees, snowy and windy. It truly is hard to believe it looked like this just 3 days ago!IMG_8764

The “H” Family

Like I said, lots of shoots this summer Smile! This one was one that we worked really hard to coordinate the date and time. It miraculously worked, but we were fighting a bit with a drizzly rain. Thankfully the rain didn’t stop us from getting some fun pictures. They were great to work with. Thanks “H” Family!IMG_1723IMG_1773IMG_1814IMG_1859IMG_1863IMG_1871IMG_1911IMG_1874Momma in her favorite place in the house!IMG_1921IMG_1942-Edit-3
A family that plays together, stays together! This is one family that knows how to play and have fun. You will do nothing but laugh and enjoy yourself when you are with them!IMG_1893-2IMG_1901-3

A Niece Photoshoot

I had the great opportunity to take my niece’s pictures while she was up visiting from out state where she is going to college. It was so fun to take her pictures and her boyfriend too. They were willing to do just about anything, so we headed out to my little town of Cold Spring to get some fun pictures that were more “urban”. What has still been amazing for Minnesota is that we took these outside and we could do it with no coats AND it wasn’t terrible. Yay! Of course now it is very  chilly outside and snowing… Anyway, I love how they turned out!! Thanks Sarah for giving me the chance to capture you guys together!IMG_8139IMG_8261IMG_8153IMG_8172IMG_8179IMG_8198IMG_8201-3IMG_8208_filteredIMG_8213_filteredIMG_8233-5IMG_8236-2IMG_8239IMG_8246IMG_8248IMG_8251-4IMG_8257-3IMG_8285
