Little Miss Sunshine | Minneapolis Lifestyle Photographer

This session makes me miss fall, although I am still waiting for summer to officially show up!  It was a beautiful day and the colors were at their peak.  However, they didn’t quite shine as much as this spunky little girl…she is amazing!

Jordan 2012 | Minnesota Senior Photographer |

Sometimes I get stuck when I am working on a blog sneak peek for a client.  I get stuck because I can’t pick.  I just can’t…there are too many images I love from the session.  This is how it has been with Jordan’s senior portrait session.  I want to show the whole thing…but unfortunately I…

Kristin 2012 | Twin Cities Senior Photographer |

Kristin and I met on a glorious evening for her senior portrait shoot.  She lives in my area and agreed to go on an adventure with me to some new spots I have been scoping out.  You know…I am a drive by photographer.  Always seeing places on the road that I want to stop at…

Kathryn 2012 | Wayzata Senior Photographer |

Another gorgeous senior!  When I met Kathryn, her mom and sister for a little ‘coffee consultation’ a few days before her session and they brought photos of her outfits I knew we were a match made in heaven!  I am very much a type ‘A.’  I will plan every detail if possible.  So it was…

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!

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!! :)

Eden. | Minneapolis Photographer |

This location was certainly Eden-esque for me.  I drove past it on my way to meet this family and literally gasped.  This little pocket of wildflowers and glowy sunshine had to be photographed.  And then I saw what the girls were wearing…and it was a match made in heaven!  Speaking of girls.  I have been…

Bittersweet. | Child Photographer |

That is how I feel about this session.  I have been photographing sweet Hakan since he was 5 days old…and I grow so attached to my newborn package clients.  Witnessing and documenting those first year milestones is an honor and a priviledge.  And.  Sometimes I get a bit clingy .  So last night as I…

For Me. | Lifestyle Photographer |

Sometimes I just need to shoot for me.  I love photographing my clients…don’t get me wrong.  But even though I am having fun…it is still work .  When I shoot for myself I can be wild and uninhibited.  Break all the rules and not care.  The only one I have to please is myself and…

Alexandra Andrews - July 8, 2010 - 11:54 am

I love them they are so mysterious, you want to see more and read into them, ‘who is she ?’ also springs to mind. The water is my favourite too x
