This was an amazingly beautiful week! After last weekend, who would have thought we’d be spared from the weather for the whole week. Keep your fingers crossed that it lasts the rest of the summer. Ok, a few showers here and there but enough with the tornados!
Here are a few kiddos who were lucky enough to enjoy the evening sunshine this week!
Super congratulations to my {{awesome}} husband for being named one of the 2010 Top 40 Under Forty by the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal.
Minneapolis St. Paul Business Journal Top 40 Under Forty- Jase Stumph
Don’t forget to check out all the other honoree’s as well this year. It’s quite a list!
Oh how I’m tempted to scan the newspaper article instead of just post this mini link (although I rather like the photo of him so I’m glad that’s in there) but the last thing a photographer needs is to be busted for a copyright violation!
Also, although the article is just a week old, he actually has accepted a new position with LS Black Constructors in St. Paul! I like them already because they built an awesome *green* building located at one of my favorite shooting locations.
If you’re in the market for any build out’s or want a super cool LEED certified green building, feel free to contact Jase for any information. jstumph@lsblack.com You can email him too, just because. You know, for network-y kind of stuff. He’s kind of good at that…and he likes to talk.
Have a great weekend!
Our week 5 challenge was - food!
One of my new years resolutions this year was to buy more of our food from local farms. I found there are quite a few places that you can purchase from that also have convenient drop sites up here in the cities. If you’re interested in finding a farm or drop site near you, check out Eat Wild MN. If the Seward neighborhood is convenient for you, shoot me an email for drop site information for free range, organic eggs and whole chickens! (They really do taste better!)

Questions? I hope the following answers a bit about the upcoming Holiday Sessions! Please email or call if you have any further questions and to save your date and time! lauri@lauristumphphotography.com 612.963.2147
Why book a Holiday Session instead of a Boutique Session?
The holiday session is a great way to get updated photos of the kids (or family) to hand out as gifts for the holidays as well as get your holiday cards printed. Or, if you are new to custom photography and would like to try it out before investing in a Boutique Session, these ‘mini’ sessions are a great way to start! The focus of the holiday sessions will be individual/sibling photos or family photos, whatever is requested. Immediate family only, please. Additional photos will be taken as time allows.
Why book a Boutique Session instead of a Holiday Session?
If you want to capture a milestone in your child’s life (birthday, newborn, just walking or sitting, etc) I would suggest the full Boutique Session. Also, if you are interested in capturing individual photos of each of your children, a holiday session won’t allow the time or give the variety if you have more than two children. Finally, session albums and wall galleries will benefit from the variety of the images captured during a Boutique Session. FYI, the last day to book a Boutique Session before the holidays is October 31st to guarantee delivery by Christmas.
Can I get a canvas or large print if I book a Holiday Session?
Of course! I would never deny someone a canvas! *Most* of my regular products are available for purchase when booking a Holiday Session.
What is a custom holiday card?
My holiday cards are double sided 5×7, press printed cards on specialty paper. Many designs are available so whether you like a vintage style or a more modern style, you’ll find exactly the card you need. On top of that, you’ll be sending out the most talked about card of the season. Really. Samples will be available at your session so you can choose the type of paper you like best! Card styles will be available online soon.
What is a gift print?
Any print 8×10 or smaller (8×10, 5×7, 5×5, 4×6 or a set of wallets).
What should we wear?
After your session is booked, you will receive more information about your session, including clothing ideas.
How to I reserve a spot?
Send me an email or give me a call! All open times/dates are first come first serve. A $100 retainer holds your date and time and is applied towards your collection purchase. The remainder is due at your session. Additional items may be added and paid for when placing your order with me.
How do I order?
All of your photos will be posted in a private online gallery for 7 days no later than two weeks after your session. I’ll notify you with your password. Choose your photos, choose your products and then I need your order within those seven days! (Late orders subject to a $50 rush fee to guarantee holiday delivery.)
After the cold disappeared and family activities slowed down, it was already JULY when Mrs. S and I were finally on the same page about scheduling their “Giving Is Awesome” session. I’m so glad we were finally able to get together to capture the family which was has grown from 2 to 6 in the last year!
Mr. and Mrs. S, your girls are beautiful!
And the sass. (the favorite part for little girls 
) Looks like they’ve got it down!
