Summer Heat

I’d like to say the heat and humidity of the day didn’t affect Miss A’s attitude, but I can’t.  That’s when I have to work extra hard for the smiles.  But it always works out in the end.   Plus, what fun is going to ‘work’ without a challenge.  :-)

The Baby Belly

It was “only” about 90 degrees but after putting off photos for rain, we had to get these done because she’s due next week!   I can’t wait to meet the little one soon.  I need a newborn fix!

Sweet Miss C | Minneapolis Child Photographer

It was an absolutely beautiful weekend for a session!  And judging from the smile, Miss C thought so too.

Mom and Dad wanted ‘maybe one’ photo of all of them.  Well, lucky for them little Miss C wanted them in more.  I love the together photos I managed to capture.

Probably one of my most favorite..ever.  Even though it’s from further away, I love.love.love the emotion of it.

Prom ‘09

Awesome group of kids +  parent chauffer to and from prom + supervised afterparty = good night of sleep for me.  Plus, they let me take photos..  :-)

2010 Senior Photos!

Yes, it’s already that time!  Especially if your school has a deadline for the yearbook photo or if you want a summer session!   Check out the 2009 seniors on my website and general session information in the senior section.   Email or call for more session information!

 **For those who schedule a weekday session this June or July, before school gets out (I’ll go with June 10th), you’ll receive 50 complimentary 411 cards ($75 value) when you place your order.**  They’re like wallets, just more ‘2010′ and very social media friendly (add a web address, my space, twitter, etc).    See what I mean?

This girl is on the ball.  2010 senior session in May?  Okay, it wasn’t too hard to get some photos from her since it’s my stepdaughter.   I only had to threaten some extra chores  and she was more than happy to spend an hour taking photos.  She’s the Southwest High School senior rep so if you see her in school, grab a card from her!

Learnfest

I haven’t even blogged about my awesome Learnfest experience that was three weeks ago already because I think I had major brain meltdown with all the ideas in my head. The four photographers/businesswomen who gave the presentations are at the top in this industry and I was amazed at how open they were with everything. First major business investment of 2009 = worth it (just in case other photog’s are reading this, questioning going :-)) I’m also so happy to have met many other photographers from across the country who I will most definitely be staying in touch with!

Just a couple photos. The main focus of Learnfest is business but we got to have some camera time too…

As you can see, I’m in no way an architectural photographer. It appears this building may fall over from the perspective I got it from..oops. But Chateau Elan was a beautiful place to stay.

And because I was a slacker, I’m thankful that Cindy Chen allowed me to snag a photo of all our instructors from her blog! ( from Orange County CA in case you need a photographer out there!)
