Baby Liam

For Liam's newborn session, we welcomed the newest member of the Midwest LifeShots team, Kadi. Kadi has a lot of experience with photographing newborns and we were excited to see what she had in mind for Baby Liam. 

We had so much fun photographing Baby Liam! He slept through his entire session. A sleeping baby is a dream for a newborn photographer! As you can see from the photos, the session was a great success!

Winter Wonderland 2011

On February 12th and 13th we held our second annual Winter Wonderland fundraiser. This year our outdoor mini-sessions helped to benefit a local Rochester family in need. All the proceeds from this event went to the Willaert family. Baby Samuel Willaert was born 10 weeks early and spent the first two months of his life in a hospital. The single-income family is struggling financially and we were glad to be able to help in any way we could. We continue to raise money for them through print sales and donations, not to mention daily prayers sent their way. Donations can still be made by contacting us directly.

The event was a great success. We enjoyed hot-cocoa, cookies and lots of laughs. The weather could not have been more perfect over the two day event. Once again, the back of our studio held snow play areas, a snowman and fun winter photo locations. We plan to continue the tradition of Winter Wonderland for years to come! Thanks to everyone who participated!

 

  

 

Afton + Paul Engagement Session - Rochester, MN Photographers

We really enjoyed photographing these two.  They are the cutest couple!  They just couldn't stop smiling and Afton especially has an adorable laugh.  It's a joy to see this kind of love between two people.  Although the Plummer House is a very common place to take pictures, we still love taking couples here because this place is so beautiful and has many different photo opportunities that we get something unique every time.  We also tried something new with this couple...a video collage of their shoot!  Hope you enjoy :)

Kristen + Dave - Monticello, IL Photographer

We had the pleasure of filming Kristen and Dave's engagement session at Allerton Park in Monticello, IL.  It's actually kinda funny, Kristen and I went to the same high school in Rochester!  And now she lives in IL where her fiance lives.  Opposite of Scott and my situation.  Small world.  Allerton is absolutely gorgeous, there are endless possibilities for pictures.  Plus a huge mansion that's kind of fun to pretend you live at :). 

Sweet Emily

Although it's a bit of a, how do I say this...pain in the neck to film your own children we needed to get our Emily's 1 year session done and we did it! I think we got some really cute shots and even successfully did a cake smash with her. She's such a great little baby, can't believe she's a year old already!
