Bella

This little beauty is just over 3 months old and I'm so glad the weather decided to clear up a little bit so we could put her in the garden! I had a really fun time with this one and her parents are just a delight! I'm excited to be photographing Bella throughout the next 9 months, so keep checking back and watch her grow with me!

Mandie & Joe

Mandie and Joe are high school sweethearts who got married on June 11. Their ceremony was at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Circle Pines and the reception was held at the Elegance Room in Blaine. I have known the groom, Joe, for pretty much my whole life. He is one of the sweetest guys I know, and he's like a little brother to me. At times, it was quite challenging trying to photograph this beautiful couple while tears were running down my face! Everything about the day was perfect and everyone I met was super fun. They also had a wedding party of 20 people, which is the biggest I have ever seen! Congratulations you two, and I wish you bunches of happiness! I love you guys!

Hollyn

The name, Hollyn, is the prettiest name I have ever heard in my life, and it sure suits this little peanut! She was born on February 24 and was one of the easiest newborns I have ever photographed. I have known her mom for many, many years(she is my neice's mom!)and since she is basically family, I was beyond thrilled to be photographing her little one!

The Tighe Family

I always have fun taking family photos for this family because they really make my job easy. Besides being totally adorable, they are always laughing and having a good time. And can you believe that little Avery is already a year old?! I remember taking his newborn photos like it was yesterday! He sure is a photogenic little guy and his parents better watch out when all the ladies come knockin' on their door!

Amelia

On Sunday morning I met with Kevin, Annie, and their daughter Amelia, at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis. They live in LA, but were here visiting family, and wanted to have some pictures taken. They are actually related to a family you see quite often on this blog, the Tighe family! So, it was only natural that they get in on the fun too! :) Amelia sure is a cutie who loves to run around! I basically had to chase her the whole time! I hope you enjoy your pictures and I'm jealous you get to go home to warmer weather!
