The Brenteson Family

When I arrived at the Brenteson house for their photoshoot Sophia asked me if I remembered when Peggy brought those dresses over. I said "yes, I remember, do you?" She said she didn't and giggled. I'm pretty sure she did!

Our photoshoot was filled with dresses, cardigans, doggies, tricks on the swing-set, silly faces and hugs that were a bit too loving (from Sidney and Matt)!

When Brenda contacted me about doing a family picture this year she mentioned "the guys would all like to hold their deer mounts and we'll be wearing camo". Hmm... I thought, Ok! I will always give my clients what they want, with my little twist of course:). So, here you have it, a shoot with camo and deer mounts and a little set of antlers for Brenda!

Sunday happened to be the perfect day for a photo shoot as well! I met Lori and her family at her beautiful home in Elk River. I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to work with on a beautiful fall day!

Perhaps the location and the people look a little familiar? Well, that's because both are! My Aunt, Eileen, had let me know that she wanted to get her family together soon to a photo session but didn't know when everyone would be available at the same time. So, when I she realized I was in the neighborhood for Brandon and Sarah's engagement session everything just seemed to fall in place. I have to agree with her that it couldn't have been planned any better!

Sidney and Sophia

Whoever coined the phrase, "Kids grow up so fast", is spot on. My little cousins are getting so big!

A few weeks ago my Mom and I headed over to the Brenteson household to do a vintage style photoshoot with real vintage dresses. The dresses actually belonged to my mom and she wore them as a flower girl in her aunts' weddings'. The weather was a little chilly and Sophie's feet were getting cold but the girls managed to be totally cute!

Sneak Peek: Jaime's 2 year photos

Yesterday I had a totally rockin' (literally) photo shoot with Jaime, Jessica and Micah. Jaime is an extremely friendly 2 year old. He rocked out on the drums and guitar for me and was a little poser =).

What do you get when you have 2 5 year olds, one 2 year old, 2 chocolate labs, a Saint Bernard, 2 parents and a hot tub? Well, you get a photoshoot with the Sprague-Brenteson family!

Sneak Peek - The Andreasen Family

Sunday afternoon we had another shoot, this time with the Andreasen family. Ashley assisted me with this shoot at Otsego Park. First of all, if there were any days this fall to book 2 shoots in the same day this was the day. It was so beautiful outside! Second, the Andreasen's need to give out tips to all my future adult family clients (including my own!). They showed up, took care of business and were able to enjoy the rest of the day at the park. You guys were a lot of fun! I hope you enjoy your holidays and weddings to come:)

Sneak Peek - The Anderson Family

Early this morning I headed over to the Anderson's house to take their family portraits. I was excited when Anne called me and asked me to come over this year because we had loads of fun last year at their session. This morning the boys had a ton of energy. I'll tell ya, these boys really kept me on my toes! We were all over their yard and even riding 4-wheelers. I don't know how you do it Scott and Anne:) I hope you guys have a great Christmas!

Happy 50th Anniversary Don & Marvel!

At the end of June Don and Marvel celebrated their 50th (and a half) wedding anniversary. It was a beautiful June day spent with great people.
Don and Marvel with their classic car. (Love it!)

And with their grandkids.

Just the girls.
Sophie, just being Sophie!
