My sister came up to the Cities with a purpose, get the kids photographed before the next one is born. How could I resist? 3 of my favorite little cute people (besides my own) were ready and (almost) willing to be photographed for their fall photos. In the past we have just done family sessions with the rest of the big family gatherings, but this time was different! We gathered up the kids (left mine at home) and headed downtown for some urban photos. The kids did great despite the attack of the killer misquotes, and the heat.
I seriously do not know how my little sister does it. She is a great mom and wife, and while thinking about another child almost makes me crazy, she is calm, collected, and put together. We can not wait for the newest addition to arrive in October, and this time around they decided to wait on finding out the sex, and secretly wanting another girl.

Here are some of my favorites from our morning. Love you all!








… was anyone interested in the session besides me and Claire…








Karna texting Joe when they were about to meet: ” I’ll be the one in the white dress.”











I was in love with their color scheme: Black, white and yellow. When I recieved the invite to the wedding I eeked because I loved them so much! They tied it all together so well!







After the ceremony and reception, we headed out for some photos of the two of them on Grand Ave and down to Micky’s Diner.

Thank you Karna and Joe for allowing me to be a part of your day, I was honored and loved getting to know the two of you better. Much love and blessings to you!
