FARM BABY FAMILY

H-U-S-T-O-N FAMILY of 5! I met with this SWEET baby Reid and his chubby kissy cheeks for newborn photos at the studio. Mom really really wanted family pics with their new little love, however dad was tied up at the farm and couldn’t make it so we decided to meet at the farm this fall for a few family snapshots. (SCROLL DOWN!! )

I jumped in the car with mom & kids…we had to hunt dad down in between the few farm sites. With a change of his shirt dad was ready to rock. Mom said she loved how the sun sets over the horizon line behind their pasture, LUCKY US, sunset + smiling kids= successful family photoshoot!

Orange Skies, Brown eyes. Kendall is 3 + Family

Orange skies. Brown eyes! This trio met with me for an evening of laughs and entertainment for all provided by Kendall (3).
She came into the session with a little extra spunk and she was alllll over the attention from my camera! (Note: this is not a norm for ages 1-4, but I was definitely lovin’ every minute of it)
Backlighting & a tutu with flower crown to match, every little girl deserves a few glamor shots!
Thanks for the amazing session!

MEET THE MEYER KIDDOS

Not sure about anyone else but watching the crops drown in swampy fields, GOBS of mosquitoes tackling my flesh as soon I enter the great outdoors, and the on going days of rain are currently the talk of the town..especially by the old men at the local cafe I waitress at (Go Don’s Cafe!). All of it= 🙁 I feel a little terrible taunting these beautiful children’s photos around because we were fortunate with a pretty amazing evening to capture these 2 cuties!
A night with the Meyer kiddos.
Carson, age 9.
Callie, age 2 (going on 20 right mom?!)
THEY WERE ADORABLE! I was shocked, during the entire session they bonded and loved each other. SO caring & sweet. I know mom mentioned the words, “Dairy Queen” numerous times but stillll….
Mom brought an additional outfit for miss Callie to get a few shots for her 2 year photos. I thought these were just a hoot!There was no posing or conning her into doing certain things, these poses were alllll natur-al!Thanks Meyer kids!

VER STEEG FAMILY

Remember this blue eyed big boy’s 1 year session from earlier this summer?JACKSON’S BACK! This time he joined the rest of the crew along for a family session.
And could they be any cuter??
NOPE! Things I adored about this session: 1\They are literally the sweetest family EVER 2\Check out these outfits?! Nothing over the top. Simple. They don’t match, they coordinate (THAT’S KEY!)  3\The colors. From the scenery to the wardrobe, the tones of this shoot are neutral, classical, and STUNNING for a late summer shoot.
Things we did not adore about this shoot: 1/BUGS 2/BUG 3/BUGS. What you don’t see is when mom and dad weren’t in front of the camera, they were jumping up and down waving a cardigan mom brought along trying to make enough draft to blow the mosquitoes off of the children and in between shots I would spray the ground and sides of props with bug spray.
Everyone say it with me, “WE LOVE MINNESOTA.” 😉
Thanks Ver Steeg familia!

MOMMA + MISS CHARLEY

Lauren and I went back and forth fighting the rain for at least 4-5 reschedules throughout July/August and FINALLY the evening of Wednesday, August 23rd came along, our last and final reschedule.
Baby due date: September 22nd.
We were going to do this thing, rain OR shine, or just simply not do them at all. We were blessed with a gorgeous sunset, minimal amount of bugs (boo-yah), and zero wind. Prime photo shootin’ kinda weather with a beautiful momma to be.
Her session..AMAZING. Little did either of us or anyone know that this would be her last day with her sweet baby bump.
Thursday, August 24th.
While enjoying a nice evening out with her husband at a local bar and grill, Lauren’s water breaks…
Friday, August 25th at 9:05am
Coming 4 weeks early…here’s the baby behind the bump!
Miss Charley Mae 6lbs 3oz and 19 1/2 inches long.
Precious as can be!!
And oh so SMILEY!

NEEDHAM EXTENDED FAMILY

6 kids + 6 spouses + 17 grandkids + grandma & grandpa = ONE BIG PHOTOSHOOT full of fun, laughter, & excitement. This summer the Needham family of 31 from all over the U.S. joined together to camp at grandma & grandpas farm in Minnesota. We met right in their front yard around 9:30am. Kids were fed, dressed, & happy(?) so we started with the whole bunch…

Next we broke off into groups for individual family shots…
Leave it up to this crew to have the cutest ideas organized, a wagon train for the kids! After the scotch tape, pep talks…and some gymnastics,we got everyone seated and ready to rock the shot!
ANGELS! They must have known grandma had candy on the line after this one 😉 GRANDPARENTS are the best!
Then back to the grown ups it was!
I LOVE extended family’s! It can be a daunting task to organize outfits, smiles, kids, dads…, sanity BUT I come prepared with plenty of energy, props, toys, and craziness myself so everyone can just have fun and be themselves.
Need I say more?!
