St. Paul, MN Family & Kid Photographer { The Baker Family }

Minneapolis, MN Kid Photographer { Kegan }

I haven't done a personal post in a while so I thought I would share. in 3 weeks & 2 days my oldest, Kegan, will be 6. It scares me to think how fast the time is going & that before I know it I will be doing his Senior photos. But for now, he is almost 6 & I am going to take advantage of him being a little kid! I asked him where he wanted to take his photos. He told me downtown. Not a surprise because he loves going downtown & tells me often how he wants to live there. He also told me he wanted a hat. So I searched & found the cutest hat at GAP. I also found a super cute outfit there for him to wear as well. But it's GAP, how can you not find cute stuff?

So we ventured out one evening to downtown Minneapolis to one of my favorite spots & took so many photos. Just the boy & I walked around & he picked spots & I picked spots. Kegan is really big into Superheros right now so everything reminded him of them. Spiderman has been a favorite of his for years and Kegan is now convinced that Peter Parker lives downtown and we even found a place where he might live.

I had a really hard time picking out my favorites. I really wanted to just post them all but that would have been a BIG HUGE post. Instead here are several of my favorite!

Minneapolis, MN FamilyPhotographer { Mini Session with Kadin, Levi & Family }

Minneapolis, MN Kids Photographer { Ally & Kate }

I found this spot a about a month ago. I have been lusting over it NEEDING to shoot there! I also want to do my family session there but that is a whole other story! When my friend/assistant told me she needed new pictures of the girls & let me pick wherever I wanted I knew I had to take them here! I was so excited! Ally is 4 & Kate is 2 so I was a little worried about how they would do since it is a really urban area, but they ROCKED it! I am so excited to share the images. I love them!

St. Paul, MN Maternity Photographer { Emily & Ryan }

Rarely do I get blog posts out so quickly after a shoot but I could barely make it in the door before I was uploading pictures last night! I had been looking forward to this shoot & even more excited at the location. I love old abandoned buildings, big fields of all grass and train tracks. If there was water there, it would probably be the coolest place ever. lol I was so excited that my fabulously pregnant friend Emily said I could pick the location for her maternity pictures. I knew this place would be prefect for her & her husband and it was. It was a blast. Emily rocked it through the dirty field, the train tracks & the massive amounts of broken glass all in heels...and 38 1/2 weeks pregnant! She is all belly & it is stretch mark free! Ladies feel free to be jealous! It was hard to pick my favorites. I would really like to post all of them, lol but I will just share a few...or 10 favorites! Congrats you too! I can not WAIT for Miss M to arrive. June 19th is a great day to have a baby. She will share it with a cool photographer that you love ;)
