Little Leo stole my heart. I don’t think that the feelings are mutual though. This little man had his eye on someone or should I say something else. He was fascinated with the trees during this session. All he wanted to do was to look up in amazement. Trees are pretty amazing, but I have to admit that I take them for granted. Thanks for the little reminder Leo.
I am back and wouldn’t you know that I was playing with my email account and somehow sent my out of office message to a whole bunch of people by accident. Sorry if you were one of the lucky ones that received this random message. I didn’t mean to send it out to you.

This little guy is already 1 year old. Where did the time go?! It sure has been fun to watch him change throughout the year. I can only imagine all of the things he is going to be learning and doing over the next.
Happy Birthday Jacob!

Once upon a time a girl named Megan received a text message from a boy named Brian. Words were shared and their love story started.
This couple lives and breathes for each other so I am beyond thrilled to share with you some of the pictures from their wedding day.
Megan and Brian were married on St. Patrick’s Day at St. Henry’s Church in Monticello. The reception followed at Rockwoods in Otsego. Megan’s dream dress is from Heartstrings Bridal and flowers were delicately created by Shelly at Petals to Pines.

When my sister was younger she was given this coat. Since then her daughters (who are now 18 and 7) have worn it too. Last year my sister panicked in the thought that she had lost it forever. Magically it appeared and it was brought over to my house for my little girls to enjoy. They sure did enjoy it.
The first picture of is Grace. You will notice that I placed her in a foot of snow and she didn’t know how to move in it.
The second picture is of Claire modeling the jacket. You will notice that I tried to get her to stay put in one place by putting her in a foot of snow, but that didn’t work. Off she ran. 
I just love my silly girls. Now if I could just convince my older boys to model the jacket. Just kidding…that would be mean and totally unlike me.
One more thought before I let you enjoy the pictures, I really think that there is something beautiful about winter portraits. I am not sure why, but us Minnesotans don’t take advantage of the winter wonderland for portraits as much as I think we should. Especially when we can create images that are as gorgeous as these.

Frost was shimmering on the morning of Kaelee’s portrait session so I called her Mother and asked if we could meet in an open field. Thankfully, she agreed. We were only outside for a few minutes, but I was able to capture a few cute outdoor pictures of Kaelee. Don’t worry, she did warm up under a few blankets while reading a book later on. :)

I did a little experiment based upon the feedback that I received when I asked my friends and Facebook “Fans” what company they use for developing pictures. I sent a few of my images to a couple of the labs that were mentioned to see what they would look like. The results are shown below.
Three things to note: 1. Sorry for the yucky scanned images. 2. There is a huge difference in printing labs. 3. I learned that Shutterfly actually printed the 4×6 inch image on paper that was a few centimeters smaller than 4×6 inches. I am not sure why, but I am pretty sure that if you had a 4×6 inch frame that it wouldn’t fit correctly.

Because he is so cute I felt compelled to share more of him.

Oh Henry! You have changed so much over the months and just keep growing up up UP.
