Jason + Rose {minnesota engagement photographer}

A few peaks from Rose and Jason's engagement session at the park... How I looooooove the evening light. Mosquitos suck... uhm, really, but we managed! Can't wait for you wedding in August!

Michaela + Brett {minnesota wedding photographer}

These two were so wonderful on their wedding day! We couldn't have asked for better weather, even if it dribbled and dripped a little outside... I think I could have taken photos of this girl all day!Michaela has these intense blue eyes that you could just stare in all day...And I don't know about anyone else... but I can see a HUGE canvas of this over their bed in their new home, right??? Right! MY FAVORITE!Isn't she so pretty!A great group of family and friends...A little silliness goes a long way... BTW, those are the new shades that M bought for B... smokin'.Some handsome fellas!

Prayers {perham, mn photographer}

...go out to all of those affected by Mother Nature's fury yesterday in the little town of Wadena...

A couple things..... {perham, mn family photographer}

First of all... I was playing around with my BLOG and am not really that excited about the new layout I got myself into... AND right now I don't think I have the time or enough brain juice to figure out how in the world to get it back to the way it was before. BUT! Anyway!

In other news! I CAN'T WAIT! to show you sneaks from Michaela and Brett's wedding... They're on a {hopefully} fabulous honeymoon in Hawaii and I'm hoping to have them done before they return to their crazy hectic lives... as in... they just moved to a new city in a new state like... the week before the wedding. Enough about that! I can't tell all their secrets! :)

During the month of JULY, 2010 studio 60 is offering ALL family sessions for $59! Yep, you heard me. I've been struggling with the fact that I have no photos around our home of our family. Kids - yes. Family - no. Well, not recently anyway! Lilly was just 8 months old during the last ones! Now she's getting closer to 3 and we have Ms. Maya!

I want to make an effort to get families doing what they love to do in the summer... boating, camping, fishing, going for a picnic, swimming, making s'mores... WHATEVER it is that makes your family come together. You all know by now that I'm a photographer who doesn't mind if no-one looks at the camera because I'm in it for the EMOTION and connections that are happening. So no worries over a formal, matchy-matchy photo shoot... I want FUN!

I think of my Dad this time of year because it's been 6 years since he's been gone. And it was sudden and unexpected. No family photos of us all together. Well, not since I was probably 19... And I cling to the image of him and I together at a family Christmas. Crappy exposure, hand in front of my face, bad clothing choices! But it's all I've got and the expressions on our faces are genuine and therefore priceless.

...I bet you can't tell which side of the family I get my looks from, eh?

SO! Enough of the sob story! Let's get to makin' some memories of your family!

Vintage Baby Girl Wall Art {Perham Child Photographer}

How great would a canvas of one or more of these images {collage style} look in your little girls room? What color paint does she have on her walls? Match it with a pretty, frilly tutu and make something that totally coordinates! How sweet!
