starting off slow

Today was one of those days that I just wanted to stay all nestled up in my cozy warm house and just enjoy the warmth of it all.  (Thus, NOW I am posting this blog entry).  My intentions were good.  Last night I had high hopes of getting up early, working out and coming home to run errands and get ready for the weekend.  That just did not happen.

I did get up early, like 5, because Ben was beckoning us to get him out of bed.  But when I looked out the window, there was no way I was going anywhere.  The snow that had started last night, continued falling and still is.  Instead of working out at the Y, we headed outside to play and enjoy the beauty of the fresh fallen snow.

And I’m still drinking my morning coffee!

Have a great (warm) weekend!

Just a side note; my 5 year old insists on wearing a hat that she wore when she was a toddler.  I think it is so annoying.  Picking and choosing my battles these days!

    family- best of 2009

    One of my very favorite times of the year is Fall.  Not only because of the beautiful colors, but because it is a time I get to re-connect with many past clients.  This year I did some mini sessions in the spring and I was able to see a few families 2 times this past year which was a treat!  I thought because I did a “Best of 2009 weddings”  I thought I’d do the same for families this year.  Here are some of my very favorite shots of the year.  Thanks to so many of you who were able to participate in these shoots!  I look forward to many more this year!

      Sharbono Family

      I have had the great privilege of knowing Rebecca since college.  We were able to work together again later in life  at a placement company before I had Elise.  In January we got together to do her daughter’s 1 year photos.  Their photos needed updating because Rebecca is now expecting number 2, and Addie will be 2 shortly.

      They chose the Gutherie in Minneapolis their indoor location.  It was honestly perfect because the lighting was wonderful, even at 10am.  Addie had a blast making new friends and exploring the very interesting floors.  I would honestly recommend this location if you are in need of a cool indoor shoot this winter!  It is awesome!

        The Behnken Family

        Yes! I absolutely love photographing this family.  Not only because they are beautiful people, with beautiful children, and beautiful hearts, but because Laura is one of my very best friends.  We met in 6th grade and have been together through those junior high years, graduating from high school, being separated while away at college (with very long phone conversations), watching each other get married and now being together in the adventures of parenting.   I am SO utterly thankful that she and I are still able to live in the same state and get to see each other about once a month.  (We are still able to have our long conversations, even if they now include screaming children in the background!)

        I told Lydia that I was going to do a shoot for the Behnkens.  She then asked me with her sweet little voice, “Mom, how long have you known Laura?”  I responded ” A very long time.”  She pondered for a moment and responded, “I hope that I can have a best friend as long for as you have had Laura.”

        I am thankful that she sees the value in long time friendships and I pray that she will be able to have as good of a friend as I have in Laura as well.
