Maple Grove, MN Tween Photographer { Camille }

2 years ago I met this little girl. She was just turning 9 & seriously one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen. I would have never guessed that her mom & I would become great friends & I would get to watch Camille grow into a young lady. This past weekend we did her 11 year pictures. She is having a girl day for her party. Shopping, Mani Pedis, a fancy lunch & a movie. Fun right? So we thought how fun it would be to take some pictures at the outdoor Mall in Maple Grove. Despite the crazy sun we had & all the people shopping we got some fantastic pictures. Thank you Minnesota for your insanely warm weather. Last year we did her 10 year pictures we had a massive snow storm. This year it was almost 80 degrees! Check out the last picture to see how much she has grown. I couldn't believe it until I actually saw the pictures side by side! Happy Birthday Cam!

If you are really lucky, you will find that one friend that once you meet them, you know you will be friends for life. A friend that likes the same things as you, laughs at the same silly stuff that you do...someone that just gets you. I was lucky enough to meet this person. I have many friends, but there is no one like Angel. Her name says it all, she is an Angel. This weekend wasn't a good one for me. This very special Angel, saved me and me happy. My very amazing friend Angel, has a very amazing daughter, Cam. She is bright, bubbly & I dare you to find anyone sweeter than her. Just us girls ventured off this VERY snowy day to the Walker Art Center for Cam's 10 year pictures! Cam is having a birthday party next month & it's going to be a PJ party so we brought some props & put Cam in her jams for pictures for her invite. Can't lie, I am really excited for her party. Angel & I (along with my daughter) are doing a sleep over & I am doing a photo station at the party. How fun right?! The shoot was a blast. We laughed so much & at every other photo, Angel would squeal because she loves photography just as much as I do and was loving these images. I couldn't WAIT to get started on them. I am having the hardest time picking my favorites! I really wanted to post ALL the pictures!
