Elizabeth

You may remember the Lutz family from their maternity session, and I'm so happy to be photographing them again and their adorable baby! This sweet little girl, whose name is Elizabeth, was born on Christmas Eve and oh what a wonderful Christmas gift she is! She is so tiny and makes the cutest faces, and she really was one of the easiest newborns I've ever worked with. Congrats again Jared & Amanda, she is just beautiful!

The Fasching's

I have wanted to take photos of this adorable couple for YEARS and on Saturday morning, at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, I finally got the chance! I have known Megan since elementary school and I just love the girl to pieces. Megan and her husband Brian just wanted a few photos of them together because they will be living in different states for awhile. Megan will be enjoying the warmth in San Antonio, TX while Brian gets to stay cold here in MN! You can really tell they're enjoying every minute with eachother, and they way they both look at eachother just melts my heart!

The Lutz Family

On Sunday morning I met up with Amanda and Jared at the Guthrie in Minneapolis to take some baby bump pictures! They are expecting a girl in the middle of December, and I couldn't be happier for them. Amanda sure wears pregnancy well and I just adore the love that this couple has for one another. It just shines through every photo! Congrats again you two and I can't wait until you meet your little girl!

The Fischer Family

On Sunday morning I headed up to Annandale, MN with my husband to see my best friend and take some photos for their Christmas card. I was going to title this post, "A Man, His Wife, His Dog, and His Truck" but I thought that was a bit wordy, although it fits the theme pretty well! haha I could have taken pictures of them all day, especially when you let me work with a cool old truck, a dog, and an old abandoned farm building. What a perfect day!

Kallie

This little one is one month old already and she's still just a peanut! We ended up taking alot of outdoor shots because she seemed to like it outside the best. I was told she takes after her daddy that way! Congrats again Beth and Dan, she is just beautiful!

The Charles Family

On Friday I met up with my coworker, Melissa, at Lebanon Hills Park in Eagan to take some family photos! I love this girl like she's my own sister and I've been wanting to take these photos for quite sometime now. She has the most beautiful family ever and being around them just puts a smile on my face!

The Graham Family

On Monday I went down to visit my sister in Chaska and we went to the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. I only intended in taking a few family portraits for them, and then put my camera down for once and hang out with them. But, after seeing this place, there was no way that could happen! It was a photographer's playground! And I know I feature them alot on here, but they are all so cute, you know you don't mind seeing them again! haha

Joe & Mandie

I have been anxiously waiting to take these engagement pictures for this couple, especially since I have known Joe pretty much my whole life! He is like a brother to me and I'm so happy for him and Mandie I can barely contain myself! The way they are together just melts my heart! We went to Minnehaha Falls and everything about the day was perfect, and it was only fitting since it was 10-10-10 afterall!

The Parenteau Family

Yesterday I met up with my sister-in-law's family (aka JJPx5, they all have the same initials!) at Wild River State Park to take their annual family portraits. This group is one of my favorites to take pictures of (they are my family and I'm a bit biased. haha) because they are so fun to be around and they are all super cute! I wish I could put all their pictures on here, but here are just a few of my favorites!
