Rochester, MN Baby Photographer: Talia 7 months

I know I've shared before, but I am such a fan of baby blues. Blue eyes staring up at me, get me every time! Talia's baby blues were special as well, because neither mom nor dad have them. She is one of kind and cute to boot!

Rochester, MN Newborn Photographer: Evan

Another special family for me. Special because I had the pleasure of photographing big sister Paige her first year. Now little brother Evan get's his turn in the spotlight. He was such a dream and let me do so much while he snoozed away.

 

Rochester, MN Photographer: Happy Mothers Day

Mothers are something special. We kiss boo boos like no one else can. We rock and sing. We cuddle and read minds. We brush hair, we pick out the perfect outfit. We carried our babies in our bellies and sometimes we carried them in our hearts. We waited, we wondered, we remember the day we met our babies. We still call them our babies, even when they are grown. Yes, mothers are something special.

Happy Mothers day to all the moms and especially to my mom

Rochester, MN Newborn Photographer: Lora Grace

Lora came to visit me last week. I've known her mom for many years, so this was extra special for me. Jodi and Dave have had a whirlwind year with a wedding and a baby! Their love story is pretty amazing too. Lora was so full of cute squish. That cute squish didn't come easy though because eating with mom is way more fun then posing for pictures. We found a nice rhythm though of eating, sleeping, and posing.

My grandmother passed away recently and I found this suitcase in her home.

 
and a fun behind the scenes shot that dad, Dave got for me! 

Rochester, MN Engagement and Wedding Photographer: Crystal and Tony

These two have such a unique and special connection. It only took a moment for them to fall in love and start planning their lives together. I love the way she scrunches her face when he is trying to be silly or the way he just melts when he looks at her. I can't wait for your big day!

Rochester, MN Engagement and Wedding Photographer: Kaisa and Patrick

I've known Kaisa for a while now, but seeing her with Patrick is a whole different thing. She just lights up. Patrick is pretty smitten as well. This engagement session was special as well since it took place out at Kaisa's farm. She told me they had a little pond... it was more like a gorgeous little lake! The perfect setting for this engagement session. The only thing not so great was the temperature for our day. Kaisa was such a tropper though and braved the 40 degree temps with ease in her little dress! I can't wait to see what they have in store for the wedding!

Rochester, MN Newborn Photographer: Elliott

Little Elliott was such a sweetie, even if she pooped and peed on just about everything! She slept great and was a dream to work with.
