Last week I got to spend some time with a lil baby and her beautiful mama as we captured some perfect moments between the two of them… here’s just a sneak peek from our afternoon. Welcome to the world Nora!

Oh 2010, where have you gone? I can’t believe how fast it came and went! This year was unbelievable… I can’t seem to put into words how it’s been so I’ll let some of the pictures from the past 365 days show itI feel like I’ve grown not only as a person but a photographer, which is an incredible feeling. The past year was filled with new babies, friends getting married, getting a year older, celebrating love with couples from Waconia MN to Wisconsin, toddlers going from crawling to walking, and so many small moments that have made it such a memorable year! Thank you to all my clients and friends for making 2010 the fantastic year it was, I can’t wait to see what 2011 brings!!!

I love babies. Little toes. Little fingers. Itty bitty selves, fresh to this crazy world we live in. Cooper is nothing short of perfection…. those lips, those eyes, all that hair. I completely understand how Katie just spends hours watching her new little man sleep.It was so good to see you, thank you for letting me meet and photograph Cooper!
Oh teeny tiny Finn, I adore you!He arrived 8 weeks early silly little man, we took these pictures 1 day after his due date… crazy how the time goes by so fast! He’s getting so big, Brittney just wanted a few pictures of her little man at this moment in his life. He’s at the in between stage, not so much a newborn and not holding himself up quite yet… so we definitely got some great expression shots and those BEAUTIFUL blue eyes! Britt, thanks so much for having such patience and spending your morning with me. It was so wonderful to see you and catch up, I am SO happy for you, Dan and Finn. I can’t wait to see you again soon
I’m a visual person… I like to see things before I buy them, so I thought maybe my clients (potential clients) might be like that too! I know buying the digital negatives are the current “thing to do”, but I really want to show you why buying prints is so important. Most of the time those digital files just sit on the disc, not being printed and displayed in your home… why wouldn’t you want to show of those beautiful kiddos and perfect family photos?! They deserve to be above the fireplace, on the walls around your home or even sent to Grandma to have her show of her grand babies to all her friendsHere are some of the photos that I recently had prints made because I wanted to display my clients in the studio and at home…
Baby Sienna…. goodness she was such a perfect little newborn.. here’s a 16×20 and an 8×10… doesn’t the 8×10 just look TINY? The bigger the better to display your little ones! (sounds a lot like little red riding hood, but you know what I mean)
Now here’s a 16×20, 11×14 and the 8×10, just to give you an idea of the sizes. I think we are used to thinking.. 8×10 that’s HUGE.. well as you saw in the picture above.. definitely not as big as we are used to
Here’s my FAVORITE picture from Tom and Holly’s wedding, I just had to make a couple of prints for myself… on the left is a 16×20 Standout with Black finish and on the right is an 11×14 mounted. The mounting keeps the picture from curving over time, it’s a great support. All photos bigger than 8×10 come mounted to ensure your photos will last for a VERY long time!
Please don’t judge the quality of this photo.. it was taken in my basement with absolutely NO window light…
Anyhooo, here’s all of them displayed up on my mantle…. Black Standout, Mounted 16×20, Mounted 11×14 and Mounted 8×10. What a difference, right?
Here’s the Black Standout Mount from the side…
If you have a moment, go take a look at my fellow workshop friend Allyson… she just opened up her studio space and has these BEAUTIFUL displays of canvas art, wall clusters and much more! Her work is phenomenal and her studio is just perfect! It makes me giddy with excitement about my studio space!
