Sweet dreams is the theme for this week. I had to post this because it is one of my all time favorite newborn photos. While in the hospital I photographed this little guy. His mom whipped out the shirt, and I had to laugh. See here for more sweet dreaming faces and here for the judges Justin and Mary Marants’ web-site, its way cool!
What an adorable picture…and I LOVE the shirt!! 🙂
Love this- so peaceful.
Seriously GREAT shirt. Oh my gosh. So funny and adorable. I just love it : )
Amazing shirt AND great picture too! 🙂 I love it – no wonder it’s a favorite!
Oh my, is that sweet! I love the shirt!
Oh my word. What an awesome shirt! And that baby is pretty stinkin’ cute too.
The new trend in photography these days: sun flare and shooting into the sun. I love the concept, and I love using the sun creativily. Here is a shot I did last fall for a woman who loves her horses. For me, a very city mouse, it was wonderful experence to catch the scenery around her and catch her in her element!
To see more fun photos with sun flare, head on over to ihearfaces. While you’re at it, go visit B]ecker and check out all the cool photography tutorials he has. You’ll quickly become a fan if you aren’t already.
Beautiful. 🙂
Great sun flare and beautiful location! I love a good horse photo 🙂
This is stunning! Love it!!
LOVE this!!!
Great photo! I love the colors and the composition of the photo. The sun flare makes it great1
I also live in Minneapolis. Saw on your twitter that you were editing. I just got photoshop last week and have been trying hard to learn it. It’s been a blast so far. Tonight I thought I had skin smoothing down and turned a little baby from white to dark brown skin…but it was smooth! 🙂
Your photography style is beautiful.
Thanks Tami
It’s encouraging to know that people are reading the blog. Good luck with the editing and photoshop. I was using some actions with that photo, but it is fun to play around with. Glad to know there are others in the Cities that are involved with faces. I feel like so many of the photographers are out in CA! Wish I lived there sometimes to have a longer season!
love horses 🙂 great shot
Wow! Great shot! I love it!
Autumn beauty is the theme this week. In the 20+ shoots that I have done this fall, this engagement photo stuck out to me. It was on one of those cloudy days that I did not expect to see the sun, and when it appeared the lighting and colors were FABULOUS! It’s days like this that I am thankful to live in MN and have the seasons!
Beautiful!
That tree takes my breath away. Great composition!
Wow! Lovely color!! Love the light, love the composition.
Beautiful picture. It tells a beautiful story.
Very nice. I love the light coming through the trees and the shadow and the compositions and… ok i love it all!! Great photo!
nice post. thanks.
Wow! Such beautiful colors!!

Baby Mary has arrived and is already so deeply loved by Nicole and Aaron.
I’ve had the true honor of photographing this family since their oldest was born over 16 years ago, and watching their story grow through each new season has been something really special. From newborn snuggles to busy, full family life being invited back again and again is something I never take for granted.
This family is deeply rooted in the world of forage, county fairs, and raising and showing lambs and sheep, so it only felt fitting to include a little lamb hat for baby Mary’s first photos. A small nod to a big part of their life and traditions.
Welcome to the world, sweet girl
Spring soirée perfection.
Rob and Sarah’s wedding day was a beautiful blend of faith, family, and thoughtful design. Inspired by Monet’s garden paintings, their celebration was filled with soft spring colors, meaningful heirlooms, and intentional details at every turn.
After a joyful ceremony at Eagle Brook Church, surrounded by family and friends, they celebrated the night away at Silverwood Park with beautiful florals, heartfelt speeches, lakeside portraits, and dancing.
One of my favorite details? Sarah changed into her mother’s wedding dress for the reception, while flowers made from that same gown were sewn into her veil.
Congratulations, Rob and Sarah!
