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.

before + after {Central Minnesota Photographer}

Before baby.






After with baby.






Not just one baby anymore. I shot this from the floor without framing it up. But I love it. The protector.

a natural. {Central Minnesota Photographer}

Again, another senior that says "I don't know what to do or how to stand". And again, I say "whatever". Cause to me Miss "E" did just fine. She is completely a natural. Don't let me tell you...take a look for yourself.






And this one makes me crazy. Crazy in that she was getting bothered by her hair as it was a windy day, so she fixed it. Like, in 2 minutes and it looked this stinkin' cute.


Thanks E and mom!
