That’s a wrap | Minneapolis, Minnesota fashion photography

My last project for 2008 was the spring ad campaign for La Rue Marche and Tamara Jewelry which is slated to appear in fashion magazines including Lucky, Vogue and Allure.  What an exciting project to be involved with!  The clothing and jewelry were a perfect match for the ecclectic assortment of goodies I have stashed in my studio.  On top of that I was working with a beautiful model who made my job so incredibly easy.  What a great way to end 2008!

Daddy’s Boy…

This little dude was not at all sure what to think of having his picture taken.  I was trying every trick I could think of  but still, he seemed the least bit interested in me or my camera.  In walks his dad and says the words, “Daddy shoots and he SCORES!” and there was nothing but giggles.  Not just a little giggle either!  It worked not once, but twice, and again and again and again… I got the biggest kick out of how quickly his mood changed with those simple words.  Something tells me he is daddy’s little boy and he’s so very proud of it!  His big sister was a doll and loved having the camera all to herself.  Thanks again for coming out to the studio you guys!

“Daddy shoots and he SCORES!!”  (There were actions that went with it!)

Mommy Talk…

There are so many things about my job that I love, but the opportunities I have to connect with other moms ranks up near the top of the list.  Everytime we get together Jessica and I always have so much to talk about…especially when it comes to “mommyhood”.  Our parenting styles are so similar which makes it  fun to chat and share a few laughs about our experiences as moms.  Thanks again, you guys, for inviting me out to photograph your beautiful family.  I enjoyed seeing your new place…it’s absolutely gorgeous!

Alex and Adelae…

Not only are these two kiddos gorgeous, but don’t they have great names too?!  These siblings came to the studio to get a few new shots for their portfolios and I couldn’t believe how natural they were in front of the camera.  We called it a wrap in no time at all which was probably a good thing with how cold we were outside.  I wish you both the best with your ventures and I’ll see you again in a few weeks!

Oh, boy(s)!

When Katina called to book a session for her family she explained that they had two busy boys and wasn’t sure how well they would sit for pictures.  I had to chuckle because “busy boys” is the exact phrase I use to describe my two boys.  We approached the session with high hopes, but as moms of boys we were both willing to take what we could get.  Luckily, neither of the boys seemed one bit bothered with the prospect of having their pictures taken.  In fact, one of them (hint: the taller of the two) couldn’t seem to get enough…what a ham!

Alex…

Meet Alex, a 2009 Hudson High School senior.   She arrived at the studio with her sister, a friend, and a smile from ear to ear.   We had a great time and I have to admit…it was kinda’ nice working with an audience.  They helped Alex and I forget all about the frigid temps and kept us giggling through most of the session.
