Baby Kaitlyn – newborn!

PPM — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 20:11:40 +0000

Nearly two weeks ago the beautiful Kaitlyn was welcomed into the world by her parents, Julie and Caleb. We are lucky enough to call Julie and Caleb cousins which means our family has been in celebration welcoming sweet Kaitlyn too! Kaitlyn is a go-getter! We worked for about 2 hours (feeding, snuggling, changing) trying to get her to go to sleep for a set of pictures…that was not Katilyn’s plan. She fought to stay awake and not miss a moment of her photo shoot We did get her to doze off for a moment or two and she looked like a perfect little angel!

Congrats Julie and Caleb! We are so happy for your new family!

Wisconsin Winter Weekend Getaway – #5

PPM — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 00:05:25 +0000

Each year for the past five years, my cousin has thrown a little shindig out at her parents’ home. It always lands on the first weekend of February for the annual Hudson Hot Air Affair. It’s a weekend of friends, food, fun, and fabulous! Last year I didn’t even take a camera, but this year I ended up bringing a camera with the tilt and shift lens and Alan brought his little camera. We didn’t take a ton of pictures compared to the activity we had, but here are a few of the highlights:

Friday evening we went to the parade downtown Husdon.

Kathie’s first Dilly Bar

Saturday morning was beautiful!

Smoosh-boarding…it’s not quite the same without the snow, but it was still fun to watch!

A little ice carving…

AAnd the rest of the weekend was filled with fantastic food and fierce games.

Our first engagement of 2012 was fantastic! We had been having unseasonably warm weather for January and got to do the entire session outside without freezing. Nick and Ali are fantastic! They are fun, sweet, chill and a beautiful couple. I can’t wait to see them on their wedding day! Here are a few of our favorites from the engagement session:

Scott and Amy were married on December 31, 2011. What a perfect way to wrap up 2011 and our wedding season! Scott and Amy are the most joyful and adorable couple. They were so happy and laid-back throughout the day as they were surrounded by so many friends and family supporting and celebrating the new couple. The ceremony was held at First Baptist Church in St. Paul.

Their reception was held at the Maplewood Community Center.

As favors for their guests, Scott drew greeting cards. Everyone got to take home a packet of cards!

Congratulations Scott and Amy! May your days be filled with joy as your embark on a new adventure together!

Brice and Kristin – married!

PPM — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 20:20:32 +0000

Brice and Kristin were married on December 16, 2011. What a fun, happy day! We are lucky enough to name Kristin and Brice among our friends as well as our clients. I began in the morning at Kristin’s parents’ home for hair and make up.

Brice and the gentlemen got ready at the church, Incarnation Lutheran Church in Shoreview.

First look…

Pockets!

We did get to go outside for a few pictures. We were hoping for a little snow for the background…being that it is December in Minnesota. Too bad the little snow piles left over from November is all we got. Oh well, Brice and Kristin totally made the pictures sparkle even without the snow

I kind of went crazy with the ceremony pictures…I normally don’t pull so many for the blog post, but there were so many great pieces to their ceremony that I couldn’t help myself!

Brice and Kristin served communion to all their guests…it was beautiful to watch.

The reception was just down the road at Kozlak’s

Congratulations Brice and Kristin!!! We wish you many years of happiness and joy!
