Thanks to a referral from my sister-in-law, this beautiful family of four came to play in the studio. It was precious to see the big sister interact with the little brother and the parents kissing on the kiddos.
The sweetheart of kindergarten teaching lady just ran a half marathon at the recent Mankato event. I’ve been amazing at her spirit and true will power since I met Angie two years ago. We’ve been friends since we started a volleyball team together a few summers ago, and we gather up each summer to play sand volleyball. I have been hounding on her to bring her son in for sometime. I was happy to meet both her husband and son, it wasn’t until after the session she told me “my husband never smiles”. I think I see a sliver of a smile in there!
I met this young man at my very own wedding, who knew….a few years later I am lucky enough to photograph his wedding. This is my precious cousin Amber, (from the twin cities) whom I’ve come to know well through a series of email, face booking and save the date designs. We had a great time walking through Sibley Park in Mankato and laughing at my lame jokes in the studio. This couple will have a wedding at A beautiful catholic cathedral in the Twin Cities, I am looking forward to their amazing day.
I met this great couple a few years ago when she brought in her favorite pals, her pups. I look forward to seeing her each fall to photograph her and “man’s best friends”. In the past we’ve been to Seven Mile Creek just outside of Mankato. This year we were had a perfect day for outdoor images, and we created these at the perfect time of day. One of these images is currently on display in our gallery, come and check it out soon!
When planning for your baby’s first portrait, it is important to remember:
1. To Keep it simple, was is so precious about babies is their tiny toes, hands ears etc, Busy clothing/patterns only distracts
2. To Plan about an hour for the session, and know that baby is in charge, if she needs a break, she gets one
3. Our Temperature, newborns like to be warm, so we keep the studio very cozy, hot even, to keep naked babies content. Mom & dad may want to consider dressing in something lightweight.
4. That Starting a tradition begins with this session, if you want to include a special blanket, or keepsake to watch baby grow, bring it to the session.
5. Relax and baby will too.
We always encourage a phone consultation prior to newborn sessions so we can provide guidance and answers to an questions about the session.
