Morgan 2012 | MN Natural Light Photographer |

And here is the beautiful Morgan.  She decided to have her photo session at her home…and it was the perfect choice as it has the most beautifully landscaped yard ever!  There were endless spots with amazing light and scenery to shoot in.  And then there were these Oak trees with their branches sweeping down the…

Mine on Monday | Minneapolis Child Photographer |

I finally got around to taking her pictures.  We drove past this field the other day and I about drove off the road!  It is the most stunning spot…so much so we went home and threw an outfit together and drove straight back.  These might be some of my favorite photographs I have ever taken…

She is perfection. Just beautiful!

Robin - July 23, 2011 - 1:23 am

stunning!

Stacey Montgomery - July 18, 2011 - 9:46 pm

What an incredible attitude you have. Instead of being bitter and questioning the path God has you on, you have an amazing heart of gratitude. I’m so sorry to hear that your adoption journey has ended. But it’s obvious that you have an amazing little family and I just know He has great plans for you all.

And the photos, gorgeous.

stephanie - July 14, 2011 - 12:47 am

holy crap! that first shot is to die for! they are all amazing. truly.

Patricia - July 13, 2011 - 9:42 pm

Pink boots and sun rays. Sweet expressions that do reveal her as strong and shy.
I am sorry to hear about your quest hitting such a roadblock that doesn’t seem to make any sense to you as a family wanting to make a home for a child who has none. wishing you more beauty to ease that disappointment.

beanski - July 13, 2011 - 7:15 pm

I’m a bit of a stalker and not much of a commenter but these pictures are breath-taking. Extraordinary. She’s absolutely beautiful.

Jill Natgan - July 12, 2011 - 6:09 pm

All amazing, lover her expressions. The cabbage patch doll on her shoulders with her hair hanging over her face is the KICKER!

Kristy Wigginton - July 12, 2011 - 4:02 pm

The pictures are great! I can’t believe how much she has grown. She looks so tall. I completely understand the multitude of emotions. We, too, have ended our adoption journey. Unless God brings a child to our doorstep we will be a family of two. But God has also provided such great contentment and satisfaction in Him! I can’t explain it other than His grace. For me, the key is being THANKFUL for whatever and wherever! Keep snapping that camera! I love checking your site and seeing new pics!

Jennifer - July 12, 2011 - 3:19 am

AMAZING!

Jenny Weber - July 11, 2011 - 10:55 pm

These are unbelievable! Truly amazing. I love the location! It’s pictures like these that make me so excited to shoot with you again

Emily - July 11, 2011 - 7:54 pm

um, beautiful. So sorry to hear about the adoption. You, me, and Emily are now the banded brood of three… if we only knew where life was going to be taking us. I guess at this point I have to believe it is all about the journey.

stacy - July 11, 2011 - 3:23 pm

love the haircut!! and sad but happy for you and your journey… everything for a reason…xoxo

Shawna - July 11, 2011 - 3:17 pm

The beauty of the girl trumps the beauty of the field (and it is, indeed, beautiful)…what perfect shots!!

jenna - July 11, 2011 - 2:44 pm

oh. wow. they are stunning jess. the lighting, the field, the outfit…a work of art for sure!

Sharon McLawhon Beadnell - July 11, 2011 - 2:34 pm

Mine on Monday | St. Paul Photographer |

It is no secret that it has taken my pug, Dudley, about 3 years to recover from losing his title as the only child .  Pugs are a very emotional breed…and while wonderful with children…also want to be #1 in the eyes of their owners.  So when we left him 4 years ago to travel…

So freakin’ cute! It took my dogs a while too but they are all in love now. I love that Miss P. is in her undies. Zach is always in his undies when we are home. He is in his undies in most of my picture of him. Too funny!

Kate J - June 13, 2011 - 4:18 pm

Before Our Eyes | MN Baby Photographer |

Awww!  Remember sweet and tiny Miss M.? Well, she is still sweet…but not as tiny anymore .  One of my favorite things is watching my newborn clients grow up.  There’s always a surprise in store each time I see them…they change so much in a few short months.  I was smitten with her as a…

I See… | MN Children’s Photographer |

…art in the little things.  The wet, matted waves of her hair after a run in the sprinkler.  Her lashes stuck together.  The bokeh on her lips.  What an amazing creation we all are…every tiny detail.  ART.

Hello!! I found your site through a Facebook link and I’m blown away! I love your style, as it reminds me of myself. Your edits are perfect!!! I saw before that you were using the Lilyblue Simple Set. Is that what you have been using lately? Your work is inspiring!! :)

A Moment Longer | Minneapolis Photographer |

Today is her last day as a 3 year old.  Tomorrow…she’s 4.  I can hardly believe it.  I know I say it all the time as many of us do.  But it still shocks me at how time flies.  Soon she will be 5, 10, 20.  But today she is still 3.  I am so…

Little Sister | Minneapolis Newborn Photographer |

I had such a fun morning with this family.  Not only did I get to photograph a beautiful newborn little girl…but I got to have a play session with her big brother.  There isn’t anything I enjoy more than a wild little boy with a completely contagious smile.  These 2 are going to have a…

Mommy. | St. Paul Photographer |

You’ve made me who I am.  Given me my most treasured name.  I wandered the earth for 26 years wondering what I was missing.  And it was you.  Across the world we found each other.  Then I found myself.  It is a gift to be your mommy.  I cherish that fact each and every day…my…

Kate - May 9, 2010 - 10:54 pm
