dug myself in a hole {Central Minnesota Senior Photographer}

Yes, taking a break from the blog maybe not the best idea, however I am getting caught up...well, more so than I was before.
Introducing Miss "A". Seems like forever ago we had her session, and it probably was. I do know it was a beautiful fall day and it's obviously a beautiful young lady.






Thank you A and Mom D!!!

totally awesome family {Central Minnesota Family Photographer}

Ok, not like in an 80's totally awwwwesome family, just a regular totally awesome family. I had the pleasure of getting this family in front of my camera again...it had been a couple years.



Thank you guys!

geez...almost forgot how to blog {Central Minnesota Senior Photographer}

For example, when I went to log in to post, blogger said, "Who in the world are YOU?". So, I hope to be back to normal. Ummmmmm, whatever that means.
Meet Miss "F". Stunning & Striking. Is what she is. And, who happens to be very nice, sweet and funny.





Favorite of the day.



Thank you Mom and "F".

i am back. {Central Minnesota Family Photographer}

Whew! I needed to take a break from the blog to focus all the sessions that were waiting for me on my computer...oh, and the patient clients were waiting too. But, now I am reeeeeeeally behind on the blog. Maybe I should have thought that one over a bit. ☺
Here are a couple families from the earlier part of the fall...when it was actually sunny and warm.
First, Little Miss Strawberry.

She definately was working it for me. She was named Little Miss Strawberry for the berry festival by Holmes City Berries, a local berry farm. Part of her winnings was this photo session and the lovely tiarra she is modeling.
And we couldn't leave her siblings out.

back in a bit {Central Minnesota Photographer}

In the effort to get editing caught up, I have to take a break from the blog updates. I have a bunch of new stuff that needs to be uploaded on here, but I have even more sessions to get to yet. So....please keep checking. Those of you patiently waiting for your images to be posted...I promise they will. And those of you patiently waiting for your galleries to be up...I promise they will. The blog will be back in a bit.

trying to keep it cool {Central Minnesota Senior Photographer}

It was a lovely fall Tuesday morning. These days I loooove. The farm was quiet and still a perfect day for a photo session with Miss "A".

So completely natural.



Just a little something fun.

To think that light like this can only come in the late afternoon. Nope, early morning is a wonderful time to shoot a session.

But at this point is when I lost my cool...no, I didn't get mad and nor do I think that I have a lot of "cool" to lose. But as I was framing the shot in that series, I felt something at my foot, I looked down only to see and feel a snake slither across my right foot. Yes, perfectly harmless, yes, my logical brain tells me that, but needless to say....I lost my cool. Poor "A", had no idea what was making me wig out. So sorry "A", that you had to witness that first hand. ☺ Then it was back to being professional me, without my cool.

beach time {Central Minnesota Children's Photographer}

This session is totally summer. However, believe it or not...it was officially autumn by the calendar. It was a beautiful fall-summery day, a real rarity this fall.
I had such a blast this session! I mean, how could I not....chasing barefoot after little ones in the gorgeous sunshine, on my favorite local beach. I ♥ my job.
Two sisters and one cousin. They started off a little shy. But that was about to break loose.




As I am clicking, and running after them, I was thinking, "I love these shots...and my this is one loooooong beach!" Whew!




Little Miss model. Working it for me!




Thank you "B" families.

rain, rain go away {Central Minnesota Senior Photographer}

...come again, well, when I don't have a sessions scheduled. I cannot believe how many sessions I have had to move because of the rain. Blah.
And good thing we were persistant this evening. Because when I was driving to meet Miss "M", it started to rain. Just a bit. We got a few frames shot and then, it really started to fall. Looking off to the west, we could see sun and the hopes for an open sky were high. So we waited. Them under an umbrella and me under a very big reflector. I am glad we waited. Cause the sunset that was just beyond the clouds was worth the wait.




Standing under cover and tip-toeing through the very wet grass.

"why don't you write?" {Central Minnesota Senior Photographer}

....been just waaaay too busy.
I am sorry I just haven't had any time to keep up on the blog lately. Editing, ordering, packaging, day & night. Almost literally.
Meet Miss "L".

comfortable {Central Minnesota Senior Photographer}

I just giggle a bit thinking about Miss "J's" session. Cause it's not unlike other senior sessions in that sometimes it takes just a bit to get the "real" personality to come out and usually by the end of the session, they are getting into it and a bit more....er, comfortable. Which I love.
Little shy at first.



Ok, now we are gettin' there.

Totally organically her.
