Christmas Studio Session - Rochester, MN Studio Photographer

We had a blast this past weekend with a Christmas session.  While wrapping up presents the night before, Jen & I planned out a few photographs for the session, including some cute ones with the kids in Santa hats and trimming the tree.

I love this shot of the three kids

All the family

Newborn Session - Rochester, MN Newborn Photographer

One week ago we welcomed our first infant into the studio.  Josh was as cooperative as a baby could have been during his session.

Blue Screen Fun!

One of the elements of this job that makes us jump out of bed in the morning to get to work is the freedom of experimentation.  When some friends mentioned they'd like to attempt a farmer look with their little boy, we glanced out the window to see that Minnesota weather had put a halt on anything fun outside.  The lightbulb went off and we got to work.  Here are a few of the before and after shots from the blue screen fun we had with little Christopher.

Here he is sitting in the wagon.  We couldn't resist trying to get a cute Radio Flyer shot.

And we were able to with a little magic!

We were told Christopher was a big fan of playing with tractors, so we wanted to get a shot of the little guy looking like a farmer.

And a little more magic...

There really are no boundaries with photography and technology nowadays.  Having been trained in Photoshop has opened doors for photography capabilities we can't begin to count.  Jen & I are at our happiest when we are behind a camera or a computer making a photograph for clients and it shows in our work!

Studio is operational!

Our studio is up and running!  We're now scheduling appointments and have our new sign out front to welcome guests:

We've had some fun posing to this point, with Gus, our pug...

As well as jumping in front of the lights ourselves a few times...

I even had a few minutes to play...

We're very excited.  You can now book your studio session or event photography.  Contact us at info@midwestlifeshots.com or give us a call at 507-280-6400 to schedule an appointment.
