Twins!

Adorable! check out twins Mr. K and Miss E, both of these little cuties came to my studio last year for their one year old portraits and now that they turned 2, they stopped by again to show me just how darn cute they are in their formal attire which they proudly wore in a wedding just a short while a go.

raise the roof.. :)

Miss G

Miss G is from North Carolina.. and isn't she adorable. She came up to visit her grandma in Northern Minnesota and Grandma had this great idea of getting Miss G's 3 year old portraits done at my Studio.. She is absolutely precious and has the biggest blue eyes and long beautiful hair to prove it. enjoy!

Fall Family photos

I'm so lucky to watch these two little guys grow up, Mr. C the oldest is coming up on 3 years old in January, and Mr. E.. the little guy.. he will be 1 in November. We quick did some studio portraits and then jumped outside to my driveway and took some awesome photos of the little guys on their John Deere Tractor set.. how cute is that!! We also got a quick family photo of mom and dad as well. The leaves were absolutely breathtaking.. but sadly are now all gone.

Katie.. last senior of the season..

or.. so I think anyways.. here's Katie. a smart, sweet and stylish gal. (Katie you have some awesome shoes by the way).. Katie invited me out to her parents home to capture her senior portraits. The day was rainy, and in fact, I wasn't quite sure we were going to make this happen, but Katie still wanted to go for it, and I'm glad we did, the rain held out during our 2 hour session and I believe we captured some great portraits.. Thank you for inviting me to your beautiful home. Good luck on graduating from not only high school, but for getting your associates degree from college at the same time.

TJ

I have been waiting for ever to post these photos.. well, not forever, maybe a few weeks. We started back in mid September and completed TJ's studio portraits, and then patiently waited and then waited some more for our fall colors to come out of hiding so we could do his outdoor portraits. Finally last week, our colors came out of hiding and we were finally able to finish TJ's portraits.

TJ is an amazingly talented guy. TJ won in April 2009 at the annual State Regional MSHL art competition - a Superior Rating for his drawing of a 65 ford mustang. He took home one of the only 13 Superior medals given out, out of 67 drawings entered. He also won the superintendent's choice for his local HS spring art show with another car drawing. He calls his style of custom art "fuel art". He uses pencil, ink, ad markers and a small amount of paint.

Fall has arrived

I've been anxiously waiting for fall to arrive this year, not because I like cold weather.. ick hate it.. but because we really do have some of the most beautiful fall colors a person ever did see :) Just 2 miles north of where I live, lies the Paul Bunyan State Forrest. It is a place that I absolutely enjoy, where one can get in their car, drive around, and usually not find another sole back there. However in the Fall, there are hunters and other leaf lookers, which really never bothers me, especially when you come across the beauty that lies ahead..

Katie- Senior

Presenting Katie.. another beautiful senior! This was an exciting session for me, as we finally finished my new studio, and Katie was the first customer to use my new space. I really can't believe I haven't posted any photos of my new studio yet.. (I better get on that for my next post). After the studio pics were done, we headed up to her grandparents place on Kabekona Lake which was absolutely beautiful and had the most perfect sand beach (made me want to jump right in). It was really hard for me to narrow the photos down to my favorites as there were soooo many, here are only a few that I love. enjoy.
