Sophie-1 Year

Sophie came into the studio for her 1 year session and oh my, what a cutie! I was absolutely in love with clothing options that her mom Karen picked out! She has an addiction to Etsy.com just like me :) In case you're wondering where she found these adorable items check out these links! Moms of boys... Etsy.com has great hats/shirts for your cute wee ones too!

Cupcake Onsie (this seller has boy items as well)

Tutu (lots of color options available)

I also LOVE hats in photos! Here is one of my favorite Hat sellers! Tiny Toppers

Carmelle Elizabeth- Custom Dress Designer

Every once in a while I'll post about other vendors on my blog and I definitely wanted to dedicate a post to Carmelle! I met Carmelle back in May when I photographed her sister Autumn's wedding. I absolutely fell in LOVE with the dresses when I saw them....then I find out that Autumn's sister Carmelle made every single bridesmaid dress AND the Brides dress! Carmelle has just recently launched her new website and I thought I would pass it on to all my planning brides to be! Check out Autumn & Joe's wedding PHOTOS

And check out Carmelle's website too! www.carmelleelizabeth.com Carmelle was nominated Best Custom Gown Designer in 2009 by Minnesota Bride.

Melissa- Maternity

Melissa is an absolutely stunning pregnant woman! I was so happy when she decided to make the maternity session a part of her grow with me package. She looked radiant along with her husband the day they came to my studio. I am absolutely in LOVE with the first photo of Melissa. I sure wish I could look as amazing as her as a pregnant woman! I'm super excited for her to have her little one, which should be any day now! I think it will quite possibly be the cutest baby ever! Just look at his/her parents :)

Chad & Leslie

We had a very warm evening for Chad & Leslie's engagement session. We decided to go down to Wayzata and I'm so glad we did. It was my first engagement session down there and I had a great time with them. So many fun little places to go for photos. Chad was a trooper and even went and did some ice cream photos for me! I've been wanting to go to a cute little ice cream shop for a while now and I'm so glad we did! they are definitely my favorite of the evening! Can't wait till next May for your wedding guys!!

IT's A GIRL!

My husband and I found out a few weeks ago that we'll be having another little girl come this October! We're super excited for Kate to have a little sister that will be so close in age (less than 2 years!) but also realize our hands will be quite full with these two..ha ha! Anyway, here is baby Girl Hinnenkamp's 1st photo!!

Matt & Jill

Matt & Jill are such a fun couple.  I loved working with them on their engagement session and had even more fun with them at the wedding.  We met at a park in Jordan to start our day off and we couldn't have asked for better weather.  M & J were magical together and we capture so many beautiful shots...it was nearly impossible for me to narrow them down for the blog!  I also was in love with the architecture of their church.  So many great shots were captured that day.  Here is just a little glimpse into the beauty of their day.
