Happy Little Soul…

This happy little soul came out to the studio for his one year photo session and I couldn’t have asked for a more cooperative subject. His mom, Jennifer, and I always have great conversations which makes working with them extra special!  She is such a fantastic mom who inspires me at each and every photo session. I feel so blessed to have such awesome clients!

Video Launch…

Here is the video from the ad campaign I mentioned in my last blog entry.  This was such a fun project to be involved with! Enjoy!

Sheer Addiction: Part II

A few weeks ago I posted about a commercial project I’m working on for  Sheer Addiction, an incredible jewelry line produced locally in the Twin Cities area.  We just wrapped up the video portion of the ad campaign and I just have to tell you…this particular project was truly a dream come true for me.  I’ve always wanted to be a part of a project like this and the experience was everything I imagined it would be.  Here are a few still shots from our shoot…the video portion is scheduled to arrive any day.  Stay tuned!!

Welcome, baby…

I recently had the opportunity to photograph the newest addition to the Lund family…a beautiful baby girl.  She has three older siblings that absolutely adore her, especially the oldest one who is so very grateful to finally have a sister!  Thanks again, Jennifer, for having me out to photograph your family.  You have such an amazing eye for design and I loved having such a gorgeous nursery to work in while I was there.

A new year…

It only seems fitting to kick the new year off with a blog post featuring a brand new baby.  Beautiful baby Cleo was welcomed home by her loving family just a few weeks before Christmas.  Her mama shares my love for all things paper so I was thrilled when she enlisted my help with the birth announcements.  What a fun project this was for me to work on…I loved every minute of it!  Thanks again, Darcy!

All I Want for Christmas…

…is my two front teeth teeth!  That’s the first thing that came to mind when I arrived to photograph the Nolan family for their annual Christmas shoot.  Their daughter just lost her second front tooth and she loved the idea of asking Santa to bring her two new ones!  These kiddos are always such a treat to photograph and as you can see they aren’t camera shy in the least.  Thank you again, Diana, for having me out to work with the kids!  Have a great Christmas!

Chelsea…

As the temps drop here in the Minneapolis area so do the number of senior sessions at Jamie Schultz Photography.  We managed to squeeze in one last session with Chelsea, a Hudson High School senior,  before the wave of ridiculously frigid temps moved in.  It was still a bit cold but she managed to disguise it well!  Chelsea has such a sweet and gentle spirit and wow, was she fun to photograph.  Thanks again Chelsea, for choosing me to photograph your senior pictures!  I had a blast working with you!

Sheer Addiction…

My obsession with Sheer Addiction jewelry (formerly Tamara Lines) began several years ago when I received one of her pieces as a gift from my husband.  Since then, I have become slightly addicted (no pun intended) to her jewelry and have built up quite the collection over the years.  You can imagine my delight when Tamara called to commission me for a big commercial project she is working on.  We have only just begun the process, but already I am having the time of my life working on this assignment.  Tamara, thank you again for selecting me to work on this project with you.  Your new web-site and products are amazing as always!

Fall Goodness…

Fall is by far my favorite time of year…especially here in Minnesota.  The colors are always spectacular and make for a perfect backdrop for photos.  I’ve been working with this family for the past 2 1/2 years and wow, has time flown.  It’s been such a joy to watch their family grow and to get to know their children.  As we were chatting about dates for this years’ holiday photos, we decided the sooner the better as Nick (dad) was going to be growing a mustache for charity.  (I don’t blame you, Jess!  Ha!!)  This did not come as a surprise to me in the least as that is just the type of people they are…so generous and thoughtful.  We met early one morning at a park near their home and I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day.  Nick and Jess, thanks again and as always I love your Christmas cards.  :)

This one made me giggle…I guess we know how she feels about me.  ;)

Kick back and relax…

I’m wrapping up a few last minute things here at the studio today, but wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving.  I hope you are all able to find time to kick back, relax and enjoy the day.  When I came across this photo of one of my adorable nephews I thought it was a fitting image for today’s blog entry.  Happy Turkey (or Tofurkey) Day!
