Baby Vogel

Isn't she beautiful!
Allison is just too precious. I love her little features and expressions. I've already added these images to my website.

Thanks, Kerri!!!

Sarah & Jake

I went to college with Sarah and Jake, but didn't know them really well...during our shoot, I realized just how much FUN they are! I wish they lived in the Twin Cities, so we could hang out with them.








The most exciting news of the day...Sarah and Jake are having baby #3! Congratulations, you two!

Matea is ONE!

I was at church a few weeks ago and saw the most beautiful baby girl...Matea. She is adopted from Ethiopia.

While talking with Matea's parents, we found several connections (as I often do with people). I have been anticipating this photo shoot since that Sunday.

Thanks for being my models. I hope you love these images as much as I do!

Feel the Love

Becky and Jeromy where the second people to respond to my Feel the Love offer on Valentines day.

They brought along their pup, Luther. He did a great job!

We had a lot of fun hanging out on St Anthony Main this morning.

Thanks, guys. I could definitely feel the love.

Evavold Family

Jeremiah told his mom that he was excited for the shoot, but he "might be a little shy at first."




I don't think he was too shy.
What a sweet family.

Winner of St Patty's Day contest!

Brie and her sweet baby, Ava Joy, were the winners of the FREE shoot from St Patty's day.

Aren't they beautiful!

April 4, 2009 - The PARTY!

I had to add some images from Liz and Rob's reception.

We had a BLAST being a part of the day!



Here is the result of my photobooth pictures.

Kate & Ryan - Engaged!

We had so much fun today, as I photographed Kate and Ryan in downtown Stillwater.
More than anything else, we laughed and laughed. Our time together made me even more excited to be a part of their wedding day.

April 4, 2009

Introducing Mr and Mrs Rominski!
What a gorgeous couple! What a perfect day!


Liz and Rob got married on Saturday. They were joined by amazing friends and family to celebrate their union.




May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon the fields.
May the light of friendship guide your paths together.
May the laughter of children grace the halls of your home.
May the joy of living for one another trip a smile from your lips, A twinkle from your eye.
And when eternity beckons, at the end of a life heaped high with love.
May the good Lord embrace you with the arms that have nurtured you the whole length of your joy-filled days. May the gracious God hold you both in the palm of His hands.
And, today, may the Spirit of Love find a dwelling place in your hearts.

Amen.

Groom's Dinner

Rob and Elizabeth invited me to join them for their Groom's dinner. It was held at parents of the Groom's house - beautiful!







The Rominski and Humes families were incredibly welcoming and sweet. I enjoyed spending the extra time celebrating with Rob, Liz and their closest friends and family. Listening to the toasts from Thursday night made me excited to continue to get to know these two wonderful people.

At your rehearsal dinner, what more could one what?









The way Rob and Liz look at each other, you can tell they are in love.
All my best!

Oh Happy Day!

We're gonna win, Twins,
We're gonna score!

We're gonna win, Twins,
Watch that baseball soar!
