HS Senior - Dakota

As soon as he sat down on the tracks, a train decided to whiz past!

I really enjoyed my time with Dakota.  I think I really like shooting Seniors!

He's on his way to Art School next year and I can't wait to see what kind of creativity he brings to the world!

I hope you guys enjoy your sneakpeeks! I really had a great time getting to know Dakota!

(Almost) Running Wild! / Brooklyn Park Baby Photographer / Minneapolis Child Photographer / Saint Paul Baby Photographer / Champlin Child Photographer

I arrived at the "B" house bright and early last Sunday morning to find the cutest little boys, both oh, so close to running wild!  I asked Jafton's mama what his favorite songs were and wasn't I surprised when she said, "Oh, he LOVES Adele, Rolling in the Deep!"  Well, I can tell you, so do I!....but I'm no songstress, so I said, "ummm ok, how about the ABCs or Eeensy, Teensy Spider....or anything that doesn't require skills?? - I really don't want to scare them to tears!"  Oh, yeah, he likes those, too!, she said.  Whew!

Jafton's cousin Jaxson came along for some fun, too!  I just love his happy attitude! 

I'm so glad I made this banner just for Jafton's session!  It turned out great.  I can't wait to make more!

 Mom brought "clean" little snacks! :) Yay!  That seriously made my day!

 Can you stand that mohawk!? The most adorable thing on a little boy... EVER!

And a VERY special thanks to crazy Auntie Kourtney for making a complete fool of herself making ALL sorts of monkey, monster and who-knows-what-else noises behind me!!!  She made my day, too!

I really enjoyed Sunday morning with you guys!  I hope you enjoy your sneaks.. The rest will be up in your private gallery soon!

Accordion Mini Albums / Minneapolis Family Photographer / Twin Cities Child Photographer / Otsego Photographer

Ahhhh, studio samples!  I just received these Accordion Mini Albums and I absolutely LOVE them.  They are so cute and perfect to stuff in your purse to carry around and brag about your adorable kids!

These come is sets of one, two or three of the same design.  I ordered these with the Art Watercolor paper and you can see the texture in the close up below.  Other paper finishes available are semi-gloss, art linen, art recycled and pearl. The cover texture is ultra smooth with a custom front and back design, also available are covers in black, brown and red leather as well as black, tan and chocolate fabrics. 

Each Accordion Mini also comes with its own little semi-opaque plastic slip-cover for protection from the other things floating around in your bag... How perfect is that!

 
This is just one design of many that I have available and new ones being added all the time.  I'll be adding these to the products tab as well as some template examples of some of the other designs I have available.

My session calendar is over full for the rest of July, but I've got a few dates available in August for those summer sessions you've been meaning talk with me about... I can't wait to hear from you!

I am so honored….. // Minneapolis photographer / minnetonka photographer / st paul photographer / twin cities family photographer / minneapolis event photographer

I am so honored to have been asked by my good friend Alicia to come and capture some memories for her Grandparent’s 50th Wedding Anniversary party!  Honestly, some of the nicest people I have ever met.  Really, I didn’t expect any less because Alicia is about the biggest sweetheart EVER!  We only had an hour or so to get everyone in…I hope I was able to get the images that everyone wanted before dinner started without you!
    

What to Wear - Summer Inspiration

As promised, more photo session "What to Wear" inspiration!  I really hope this helps, because the most frequently asked question I get is, "What should we wear!?"  

Related: I think I NEED those blue wedge sandals!

I found love today...in the shoe department.

Forgive me for not touching up my polish before going to town with the camera...  I was so excited to get these before the light faded too much!



What to Wear - Spring Inspiration

I'm excited to announce that I'll be bringing a "What to Wear" post for you now each month!  The first edition will give you some inspiration for Spring (and Summer) sessions.  I just absolutely LOVE the color palette!  It fits right in around here, don't you think?    As always, each What to Wear edition is posted in the What to Wear page of this blog.  See it? Right up there... second to last tab.  It will always be there for easy reference.  To make it even easier on you, here's the direct link! ;)  SBliss Photography - What to Wear

A little nibble of something sweet / Minneapolis Photographer / St Paul Photographer / Otsego Photographer / Maple Grove Photographer / Plymouth Photographer

She's a nibble alright! I could just eat her up, but if I did, I'd go into sugar shock!  Those itty bitty fingers and toes and sugar lips pack quite a delightful little baby punch. 

She was worth the wait and so much more.. I could barely put her down to start snapping! 

Congratulations, Fritzy and Shana! You've got quite a little knock-out heart breaker on your hands.....

From time to time....
