Smile! No...really - Rochester, MN Studio and Family Photographer

So maybe we're a bit biased but this might be one of the cutest sessions we've done. We spent some time with Abby and Ryan in our studio a few weeks ago and captured their smiles....their REAL smiles :) Don't you just love the fake smiles that kids give when you ask them to smile? Well it just took Elmo eating Uncle Scott's head to get them to give us something a little more genuine.

Julie + Bob

Julie and Bob are adorable!  We met at the Plummer House to get some engagement photos for them.  They are so cute, it's almost as if you just introduced them and they can't stop flirting.  You can tell that he makes her smile and laugh...in fact we had a hard time getting some more serious shots from them.  Which proves that we'll just focus on getting fun and smiling shots instead!  We love it, we can't help but smile when we edit and look at these pictures.  So much fun!  You can tell they especially had a ball towards the end when they showed their true (and opposite) colors :)

Courtney + Isaac

On a cold and very windy Saturday morning we drove to Quarry Hill to meet Courtney and Isaac for an engagement session.  Because it was so frigid we decided it would be better to take some shots in our studio and reschedule our outdoor session.  The studio was a lot of fun with them.  They were so easy to photograph, she has such a genuine smile!  For our outdoor session about a week later we headed back to Quarry Hill and enjoyed the hour together.  Her mom even brought her little boy for a few pictures with him too.  His little nose got red because it was still a little chilly outside.  They're getting married on July 4th :)

Our First Maternity Session - Rochester, MN Maternity Photographer

We had the pleasure of filming our first maternity session yesterday.  Luckily we have a pretty easy and available subject...me!  We had so much fun...we would've experimented for hours if we could.  Scott had wonderful vision for these photos!

Bigelow Homes - Rochester, MN Commercial Photographer

We recently had the opportunity to take some pictures for a local building company called Bigelow Homes. We've known several of the people that work for this company for years and were honored to be able to take pictures for them. I think it's nice to be able to capture their team in their workplace vs doing something in a studio. Makes it much more personal.

Slager Family - Rochester, MN Family Photographer

Welcome to the Slager's home!  The two little ones, Emily and Connor, were such angels the entire time we filmed them.  Emily was shy at first but eventually opened up and started showing off all her toys (and her boots).  Downstairs there was more fun...it's amazing how much joy a little girl can get out of throwing a ball :)

Winter in Minnesota

We had the pleasure of filming some land for a client.  These folks have owned this incredible piece of property for about 20 years and are finally getting ready to build a house and move there.  The setting is very peaceful with a creek that runs through the backyard.  We also noticed several deer beds on our walk through the woods!  This is a dream property and absolutely gorgeous!
