Minneapolis Photographer specializing in custom maternity, newborn, child, family and senior portraits.
The bright and shining Emily. Loved this girl! We had a great time with several looks during her senior portrait session. I also love her makeup…which of course was professionally done and included with her session. Olive Avenue Photography is currently booking August senior portrait sessions…this is our busiest month for seniors so don’t wait…
One final session to share from Atlanta. This beautiful photographer’s family won me over at hello. It didn’t hurt that they brought me a welcome basket of goodies…got to love southern hospitality! But really…this girl’s energy is contagious. So it makes sense that her family was so sweet and connected…their love for each other, tangible….
Gorgeous Family- GORGEOUS images!!!
…well you fill in the blank. This was such a fun session…lots of giggling and wrestling. But also some really sweet moments with mom and dad and their 2 handsome sons.
We come to every new morning With possibilities only we can hold, that only we can hold Redemption comes in strange places, small spaces Calling out the best of who we are And I want to add to the beauty To tell a better story I want to shine with the light That’s burning up…
Working on this session the past few days has almost brought me to tears. This is my first family. The first ones who trusted me to walk into their lives for a moment and capture them with my camera 3 years ago. I remember I was so, so, so nervous. But Keri was so sweet…
One of the things I am often asked is what I like best about my job. First off, I usually get caught up on the word ‘job’ as photography hasn’t felt like a ‘job’ yet. I’ve had a job…and this is very different! Yes, it is work…but work of the heart. So…I go to work..I…
Too precious for words!!!!!!
She is super precious!! Love the tutu, too!
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…
My grandbaby. LOVE all the pics so far…..can’t wait to see the rest!!!!thank you!
So it probably comes as no surprise when I say that the weather has been less than cooperative this spring and I’ve had to reschedule a few sessions. I think I rescheduled this family at least twice. That is why when Easter rolled around and was sunny and beautiful out we met at the last…
You really captured the true love of Bob, Mandy, Charlotte and Hunter in the great outdoors. Just amazing!! We are so happy to be able to see these pictures! Thank-you!
Gramma Carol and Grampa Jim and the family here in the UP.
Look at this sweet baby boy. Perfect in every way. Brand new. I look at him and see possibility. He can be anything he wants to be. The future is wide open. New life. New hope. A miracle.

And then some. Meet Ayden. I’ve known this little man since he was in utero . His mom and I have been best friends for 15 (!) years…and I’ve had the pleasure of watching him grow up. I knew my session with Ayden was going to be interesting because his personality is the rare combination…

So I’ve been kinda bummed with the rainy weather lately. Canceled sessions…days inside with my 3 year old. Yeah, I might be feeling a bit sour and down. But now today. Today we embraced the dark and dreary morning and made it into something better. Photographic lemonade.
