the "s" family

The leaves are falling, the colors are beautiful and the cooler, windy weather has started. The "S" family bought my along for a nature walk this week and the wind wasn't our friend. Good thing we got some great smiles from this group and we could end as soon as the kiddos got cold. Enjoy the photos!

Happy Birthday!

Sunday afternoon was all birthdays for this family. Three birthdays in one week, I guess that means a large cake! We went outside to enjoy the nice fall sunshine and took some family photos. This family asks me back each year and it is so great to see the family grow and change! Enjoy!

K&J E-session

The wonderful weather of the weekend continued into Sunday afternoon, it was almost on the hot side. I enjoyed the company of Katie and Jake as we captured their e-session along St. Anthony's Main street. Katie and I have been talking over email mostly and were excited to get some face to face time to talk wedding details! I am looking forward to June, I think we will be talking much more until then and that will help make the winter go faster! Enjoy!

the "C" family

Well the Indian summer weather was here and it was wonderful. I enjoyed the evenings outside watching the leaves turn colors and last weekend was no different. Saturday morning had the warmest, soft light I have seen all week. I was so excited to be out photographing and this redheaded family was the icing on the cake. The crazy weather from Friday blew a lot of the leaves off the trees, but the wild flowers and grasses were a perfect background. And the grashoppers were great entertainment for the boys! Thanks "C" family! Enjoy!

Visit to the Peace Garden

My girls and their Auntie took their first visit to the Minneapolis Peace Garden and Rose Garden. It was a busy Saturday afternoon with 2 wedding parties doing post wedding pics at the Rose garden. The parks are set up perfectly with yummy afternoon light! The girls had fun splashing in the fountains and walking through the trials. Enjoy the fam!
