I have lived in Minnesota all of my life, and still the weather baffles me. Last week it was 82 degrees, Sunny and beautiful, while this weekend it is 45 degrees windy and cold. I’m so thankful that my 2014 Fall Mini Sessions were held on a day with such great weather. So much time and a lot of effort goes into planning a full day of sessions, and if the weather didn’t cooperate I probably would’ve cried. Instead, I was able to meet 9 great families, and take hundreds of pictures. I really enjoyed my day, despite the mosquitos. Thank you to everyone who booked a mini sessions even if it meant you had miss part of the Vikings Game.

A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful family. The light was perfect, the weather was a great Minnesota Fall evening, and the family was fun. They came for their son Jack’s senior pictures as well as some family ones. Jack is so well rounded that he is bound for success. He plays the stand up bass, and he is good. If you are in the Anoka area, I would suggest going to listen to him play. While I was going to my car to grab my chair, he was playing some music and the park seemed to come alive. It was so refreshing to hear such a great instrument being played.
Thanks for a fun evening, enjoy these memorable year with your great kids.

Long Distant Relationship | KDB St Francis Family PhotographyOctober 24th, 2013This family will always hold a place in my heart. I first met Jessica when little Quamman was only a few days old.

This family will always hold a place in my heart. I first met Jessica when little Quamman was only a few days old. They were back home in Ramsey visiting family. Jessica and her family live over seas and every year when they come back to visit family, they also come back to visit me. I love seeing how much the girls have grown up over the last year. They spirit and sense of adventure always makes for a fun and memorable session. Thanks so much for saving a few hours for me on your trip home. Enjoy the rest of your time home, and I wish you best of luck in your next adventure!

There is not enough room on this page to say all the great things I want to say about my Daughter Madison. She is such a humble young lady, that it makes me so very proud to say she is my daughter. I wish I could take credit for her huge heart, but I think it is just who she is. She truly does bring out the best in everyone she is around, and it makes me smile when I hear others feel the same way. She makes me laugh and makes me cry, she is the one her friends lean on for support. She is a girl who loves to read, loves country music, loves to dress up and be pretty. But then there is the part of her that loves the outdoors, from bow hunting to fishing from hiking in to wakeboarding, she is not afraid to try new things. This is a girl who really does try it all, and it makes me proud as her Mom to watch her succeed in her accomplishments. Madison no matter what path you take, you are bound for great things. Stay sweet and honest.
This smile will steal your heart.

Fall is such a busy time of year for me that sometimes I don’t get the opportunity to stop and take sweet images of my own kiddos. Well, tonight the weather was gorgeous, and the light was perfect. I have been wanting to try out a new spot, one where I have never shot before, and the results were exactly what I was hoping for. Oh how much I love my Tyson and Aryn. They are not always perfect, and they fight like crazy, but they are mine and I wouldn’t trade them for anything. Love you two!

The Beckers | KDB St Francis MN Family PhotographerOctober 7th, 2013All families have their own dynamic, the Becker’s seem to have a few. The first is busy, the second is laughter and the third is LOVE. I really mean that. There is no way to fake the way this family feels about each other. And in case you don’t believe me, take a look for […] |

There is no way to fake the way this family feels about each other. And in case you don’t believe me, take a look for yourself, it showed up in front of my camera the other night.
I don’t know where he got this face from. I’m sure not his Dad, LOL.

Oliver | KDB St Francis Child PhotographerOctober 6th, 2013My heart melted a little tonight.

Syliva and Vivian are no strangers to my blog, as is their big brother Oliver. However, getting them all three together in one photo is sometimes a challenge. But tonight these three were all smiles and giggles. What a great night it was. I’m so happy to get to watch these three kiddo’s grow up.

A Mommy Moment | KDB Anoka County PhotographerOctober 1st, 2013As a Mom to three great kids, I know how fast the time goes. When your baby or child is in a certain stage, we can’t wait for him or her to be able to do the next stage. From crawling to walking or preschool to kindergarten, middle school to high school, we are always […] |

As a Mom to three great kids, I know how fast the time goes. When your baby or child is in a certain stage, we can’t wait for him or her to be able to do the next stage. From crawling to walking or preschool to kindergarten, middle school to high school, we are always excited for that next stage. But then as our children get older and we look back, we may not have always appreciated what they were doing right then in that moment. I know I am guilty of it, but I am thankful I have pictures to help me remember the good times we had during each of those stages and who we were as a family during that time. One of my favorite quotes is from the Dreamworks Movie Kung Fu Panda, “Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is a Mystery, Today is GIFT that is why it is called the Present”. Today really is a gift, and sometimes we don’t realize how great it really was until we are looking back at it.
Laura, I hope one day when you are looking back at these pictures of you and your sweet baby boy, you will remember how great of a day it was. Thank you for letting me capture these for you.

Gabrielle and her Mom came up to the farm for her Senior Portraits a few weeks ago. I have been waiting waiting to blog these, however life has just been busy. But today was the day, and while I was going through these, I could totally hear Gabrielle’s laugh. This girl was just fun to photograph, she is just so full of life and laughter. Thanks so much for such a fun time. Enjoy the sneak peek. The gallery will be up very very soon!
