What a delight little S is at 6 months! We did photos when she was only a few weeks old and what a change to the practically walking little girl she is now!
When I wonder how I became a photographer, I look at my family
My grandfather took thousands of photographs in the 50s through the 80s. His old camera was my first manual camera, and when I look at this photo he took of his large extended Italian family over breakfast in the 1950′s, I have a good understanding of where my “people wrangling” skills came from.
Carrie & Pete {expecting} photos at the Madison Capitol
Not only is Carrie one of my best friends, but her marriage to Pete was the first wedding I ever photographed. I totally loved being a wedding photographer – the blend of candid and posed, the ability to use my creativity and also my people skills. It was awesome.
Now, almost 6 years later, they are expecting their first baby. I love shooting in the Madison Capitol, and it is even more interesting because Pete will be clerking there next year, and I am sure that Carrie and the baby will spend many lunches and late night dinners in those marble halls!
Maternity Silhouette Photos in Winter at Como Park
I had a wonderful photos session with Lindsey & John at Como Park Conservatory, and here were two photos that didn’t really fit in with the rest of my blog post, but I just loved them! We had a little fun outside on a beautiful February day, getting some silhouettes of Lindsey’s cute belly!
Lindsey & John’s Como Park Conservatory Maternity Session in Saint Paul {expecting}
Several years ago, I was lucky enough to have Lindsey and John choose me to photograph their lovely summer wedding. After the wedding ceremony, we moved over to Como Park conservatory to take some photos of the large wedding party outside on the grounds. I often remember that day, because when we showed up to take photos, there were at least 10 other wedding parties around the conservatory in most of the “go to” locations, but we found some wonderful out-of -the way spaces to play around in, and I took some of my favorite photos at that time with the conservatory in the background.
After so much beauty and joy, I was thrilled with Lindsey recently contacted me about taking baby photos in a few months. It is one of the favorites parts of my work that I get to see people on some of the happiest days of their lives, starting with their wedding, and moving forward as they start new families or other ventures together.
For Lindsey and John, it was almost obvious that we needed to go to Como park to take some belly photos before the baby is born – I can’t wait to meet the newest addition!
Lindsey & John {expecting} – a preview
I photographed Lindsey & John’s wedding a little over 2 years ago, and I was thrilled when Lindsey told me they are now expecting their first baby! Here is a little preview of the fabulous time we had at Como Park:
Abbie & Andy {expecting}
Abbie is one of my oldest friends and I couldn’t be more excited that she and Andy are having their first baby soon! When they came up to Minneapolis, it was a great opportunity to have a fantastic brunch and then head to Como Park for a little maternity/belly session in the conservatory.
