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.

I have been trying to blog this family session from two weeks ago, but time just keeps getting away from me. So tonight, while their gallery is uploading, I’m blogging.
Tony and Megan have been LONG time loyal customers, and it really is an honor to see them every year. I am so happy to have been a part of some very important memories for them. Their family continues to grow and change. The girls (and Roxy the lab) are growing up and it’s so much fun to literally play with them during our session. Last fall little Eleanor (and Roxy) didn’t want anything to do with pictures, but this time, she was much more into it (Eleanor not Roxy, I think the dog was just hot). And Josephine, well, I can only remember one time when she didn’t want to have her picture taken. She comes ready to be my model every time. She is such a great big sister, and so full of smiles.
Thanks again for a wonderful morning and the cheesecake you made Megan was delicious. You have my cake business!

Welcome Baby Elliott!!!
A few weeks ago I had the privilege to photograph this sweet little newborn, Elliott, he is just perfect! Although he made his appearance a little later than his due date, this little lover was a perfect newborn poser. From his tiny little toes, to his chubby little cheeks he made my day. Thank you Megan & Mitch for choosing KDB Photography to capture these important moments. I truly enjoyed our session.

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.

The Beckers | KDB St Francis MN Family PhotographerOctober 7th, 2013All families have their own dynamic, the Becker’s seem to have a few.

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.

I love this time of year for multiple reasons, but my main reason is getting to meet so many great High School Seniors. Every senior session I shoot has such a different style to it, which is exactly what I enjoy. Last weeks senior session was with Devon, what a great young man, so polite and easy going. He made me laugh a few times, the moment that stands out is when I was showing him a few images on the LCD screen. He saw his serious face, and told me he could do a better serious than that, which seemed pretty perfected to me I shot his session by the Rum River, which is a location that works so well because of the diversity.
I hope you enjoyed the session as much as I did Devon. Enjoy the teasers while I finish up your gallery.

Two IS Better than One | KDB Anoka County Baby PhotographerAugust 27th, 2013It’s like that commercial, would you rather have less or more, well I personally would rather have MORE of these two twin girls Vivian and Sylvia.

It’s like that commercial, would you rather have less or more, well I personally would rather have MORE of these two twin girls Vivian and Sylvia. They really know how to steal a persons heart, and put a perma smile on your face. Over the last year I have had the opportunity to be a part of important milestones in their lives. And watching them change and grow in front of my lens has been wonderful. Thanks for the wonderful year! Enjoy this sneak peek!
This is just how these two are, the faces they were making just make me smile. I think they were plotting something big here.
