Lauren + Wade = baby boy

She was glowing, and so was he.  It was that maternal and paternal glow that a person can only have when expecting a child.  For my very good friend’s Lauren and Wade, this baby is a complete miracle and blessing.  At age 24, a week after getting engaged to Wade, Lauren was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.   Not knowing what her future entailed, she chose to cling to the promises of God and wait to see what He had for her in the coming months.  Amazingly enough after several operations, she was in remission and as she walked down the aisle as a glowing bride, we thanked God for the life he had given her.

After being married for a few years, the couple was ready for a child, but because of her complications in the past, doctors told her they were not sure if she would ever be able to conceive.  Again, she and Wade hung tight to God’s promises, and after trying for a few more years, the couple was able to conceive and will give birth to their baby boy in early September.

I am ecstatic for the two of them, and am so thankful to be able to capture this stage of life for them.  Can’t wait to share more photos of this little guy when he comes!

We started indoors for more formal photos… Lauren you are beautiful!

Then headed outside for some fun photos!

And my favorite to end the session… Lots of love to you baby s, love mom and dad and all the rest of us.  We can’t wait to meet you!

    Lundeen Family

    She is amazing at planning parties, taking pictures, creating invitations and baby announcements, organizing and hosting 20 kids at one time, being a mom, excellent wife, and working to raise money for kids, and I am so glad I am able to call her one of my good friends!  In June I was able to take my friend Angie and her family out to Lake Minnetonka for their family photos!  I just love her spunky little 3 year old, Nora.  We played 20 questions throughout the shoot, which probably turned into 100 questions during the ride home and into the week!


    And to end the session we hit up Ben and Jerry’s for the long awaited ice cream!

    Chad and Mckenzie: Minneapolis engagement

    She giggled as she said, ” I knew you were going to ask that!”  I had just popped the question, “How did the two of you meet?”

    With a gleam in her eyes, she explained, ” At a bar, but his friend was hitting on me.”  It took the Navy air force pilot, Chad, a while to ask out the spunky red head, but when he did, the two of them hit it off, and sparks flew.

    They continued to fly during our session together!  Mckenzie and Chad were so fun to be with, and I felt like I had known them for ages as we chatted about their fun and crazy adventures together while we shot around Mill City.  The lighting was gorgeous and then night couldn’t have been more comfortable.  I wish I could join these two on their big day, but they have decided to take the wedding day to the next level and exchange vows in Vegas with a few family members and friends.

    I wish you two the best and hope to ride along on some part of your journey again!  Best wishes!

      Sawyer- 6 month Minneapolis baby

      I am just in love with this little guy and his sister.  Just look at those dimples and eyes!  Every three months I have been able to see these sweeties and catch up with one of my really good friends while our kids play together.  This was just another one of those days, and I am so glad I was able to see Sawyer at his 6 month mark!

        Ana: 10 months

        Ana is one of the cutest little girls I have photographed.  She was so smiley and happy the day we did her session.  Despite the many distractions around her, she continued to smile!  I just can not wait for more sessions with this sweet pea!
