Minnetrista Family Photographer: The W Family

I had so much fun putting together this little slideshow for the W family. It always takes me a while to find that perfect song to go with the pictures, and sometimes I'm surprised at what I select. This time the moment I started playing Christmastide I knew it was the one. This is actually a recording of my sister's girl choir back when she was in gradeschool (so ignore the little coughs and rustling of paper in the background ... it's a live recording). I also have a recording of this song sung by the St. Olaf Choir, but the voices of these girls just fit so much better. Enjoy!

Note: photos never look quite as good in a slideshow ... view some of my favorite photos as still images in their sneak peek:  Click here.

Sneak Peek: W Family

I had a blast taking photos of this adorable family this past weekend. Saturday's snowfall left us with a lovely white backdrop and a great excuse to get outside and play! Here are a few of my favorite photos so far ... I have many more to edit, so stay tuned!

I caught him in one of his more pensive moments. In my next post you'll see many sillier photos of him : )

What an adorable family!

Ready for a smile? Take a look at this cutie!

Eagan Family Christmas Photos

You may remember these cute kids from earlier this summer (and the fall before). I had a great time taking some Christmas photos of them this morning! Now I'm officially in the Christmas mood and plan on spending the rest of the day digging out decorations and setting up the tree!

Look at how nicely Alaina holds her dress. So poised!

Ryan loves the pond - and ice! It is just starting to freeze ... I think he could stay out there all day.

I hope your hockey game went well today!

And a few moments later, they were a heap of laughter on the floor!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas .... : )
