Quick post before I head off to work because these 2 girls are wayyyyyy too precious not to share! Briella, big sis full of spunk and ready to be on the run but LOVES her little Berlynn who arrived a little ahead of schedule but sweet as ever.
Baby Mulholland Maternity Sesh!
Meet my friend Rachel. She is an amazingly talented hair stylist and makeup artist, owner of Bombshells Salon in Alexandria, Minn., mom of 2 (+1 on the way, YAY!), college student, and BONUS: she’s full of random knowledge..which I appreciate because I ask A LOT of questions and she always has an answer to follow them. Right Rachel??! The other photographer I share the studio with -Stephanie Foto- specializes in senior portraiture and offers a unique experience for the girls to work with Rachel getting their hair & makeup done for their photoshoot. Just from our brief conversations here and there we would exchange stories about “kid” stuff (funny things they say and do, etc) and I am stoked to meet this little babes who will be jumping into her next chapter.
Rachel loves people, relates to them well, comforts them, qualities that have made her not only an amazing mom, but a wife as well.
The life that writes our story is not always the one that we imagined it to be. Sometimes it takes a silly turn or a bumpy path but there is always hope at the end of the road.
This little miracle you are about to bring into the world is going to do great things and she has been blessed with an inspiring woman in her life she’ll call mom along with two best friends, her big brother and sister.
Thank you so much for letting me capture this glowing side of you, you look fabulous as always momma.

CALI + BRODY
Brody a farm hand, Cali a hair stylist. They have been sweethearts for quite a few years and are so excited to wear this title …Mr. & Mrs. Bahr to be! A beautiful wedding (I just know it!) is planned for August 18th, 2018 at the Carlos Creek Winery in Alexandria, Minnesota. I spent a gorgeous July summer evening in Big Stone County- Minnesota chasing light & love. Cali did an AMAZING job at shopping for wardrobe that coordinated perfectly with the landscapes and Brody was an absolute trooper with all of the tasks miss Cali & I had in mind ;).
We went on a BREATH TAKING scenic wildlife drive that didn’t have much for wildlife, but it did indeed have its share of cactus! Cali & I thought these were the coolest things until they dug their daggers into our limbs, clothes, shoes, etc.
Beautiful they were BUT overall just a pain in the…
Thanks for sharing your lovey dove kiss’n selves, congrats!
NEWBORN REECE
HOLY BABIES!! WOOF! I want to give a big old thank you to all of my clients who have been patiently waiting for sneak peek and gallery releases! I have been hanging out with babies like you wouldn’t believe over the past few weeks. A few of them were expecting mommas with babies due in August..SURPRISE they came a little early but when I book your newborn session I mentally prep myself for the possibility we may be squeezing you in a month before or weeks after your expected date.
One of my recent visitors was baby Reece! Such a little PEANUT!! With plenty of love, snuggles, and HELP mom and dad are loving their family of 3 girls with the addition of their baby brother.
xoxo little one…
Waitin’ on Baby Oachs
Currently my husband and I are awaiting our 2nd baby due this October. Braxton will be almost 4 (ALREADY??!) by the time baby B the 2nd joins us. Pregnant life is a little different the 2nd go round…it seems to go oh so much faster and although I am SUPER excited to meet him/her, I am also not oblivious to the amount of sleepless nights, lack of energy and independence we will be encountering soon. Don’t get me wrong there is way more joy than I will know what to do with, but in all honesty I’m just saying it how it is!
Glowing: showing the radiance of health, excitement, etc. The word “glowing” is a common term said to pregnant women and I never know how to take that..is it a compliment that I look good or is it that I threw a little more enthusiasm to my step because I’m so full of anticipation to meet the growing miracle inside of me that I don’t know how else to show it? With that being said whatever this “glowing” term we give to expecting mommas is, this momma below has got it goin’ on!!
Meet Mr. & Mrs. Oachs and their soon to be party of 3! We joined for maternity pics out at their farm where they took engagement photos a few years back and where they hang their hats in the house they call home. It’s a beautiful, classical looking farm site, a place where the Mrs. enjoys yard work, gardening, canning and the Mr. helps his family farm. Baby Oachs is due SOON…like 2 weeks soon and they can’t wait to meet him/her!
Good luck and blessings to you and your soon to be bundle of joy!
