St. Anthony Main: Family Slideshow

Some final photos from my shoot down at St. Anthony Falls - and a slideshow! I love the task of coming up with the perfect song to accompany a set of photos, but I was at a loss with this one. I went through every song in my iTunes folder and couldn't find anything that was happy and peppy enough, with a good moving beat. Gotta have that for pics of kids. Then I called my sister who nailed it on her first recommendation. Scroll down to find out what song!

Turn up the music and enjoy the slideshow!

Music: On Top of the World, by Imagine Dragons

Here's my first post of this photo shoot, and here's my second.

More from St. Anthony Main

I've been busy editing photos for a few different fall sessions, and although I don't have this one completely finished, I thought I'd post a few more of my favorites (first batch can be found here). More photos and a slideshow coming soon. Now, who's ready for a leaf fight?!

Sneak Peek at Minnehaha Falls

Here's a peek at my latest photo shoot taken on a warm fall evening at Minnehaha Falls in Minneapolis.   The grandparents were headed back to St. Louis the next day, so it was a treat to capture their last evening together. Can't wait to edit the rest!

Sneak Peek: Adventures with Kids

I love taking pictures of kids, especially this fun duo. I had a great time chasing them around (sometimes quite literally!) the other night down at St. Anthony Main - up trees, through leaf piles, across the bridge .... Here are a couple of my favorites so far:

Love the pout. I believe this was after a leaf fight with big brother. I have plenty of happy/smiley photos too!

more to come!

Senior Photos at the Farm

Here are a few of my favorite shots from our photo shoot last weekend down on the ol' family farm. I had a great time running around with Evan's cousin Blaine before the sun set!

... and just for fun, here are some of my other subjects from the night:

Cousins!

New baby new mom: Addison + Heidi

My first newborn session was for my bookclub friend Heidi. She's the first in our group to become a mom and it was fun having a baby sit with us tonight as we discussed our book and chowed down on some awesome food (thanks Rach!). Although she slept peacefully tonight, the morning I visited them in little Addy's nursery (at 13 days old, I believe), she didn't want to part with her mommy or take a nap long enough to fall into a deep slumber. But I had fun hanging out with them and capturing them in real life, with lots of mommy-Addy snuggles and a few bouts of tears. In the end I'm happy that Heidi is in as many photos as Addy because really these are some first portraits for her too, as a new mom.

Enjoy the photos, Heidi and Eric, and scroll down to view the slideshow!

Turn up the volume - there's music! We were actually listening to music during most of this photo shoot, although Addy's taste in music is more of the lively sort. ; )

(note: photos look better quality in picture form than they do in movie)

   

Music: Latika's Theme, from Slumbdog Millionaire. Yes, I used this song for my cousin's wedding last summer!

St. Paul Newborn Sneak Peek

I got to photograph my very first newborn this morning! Isn't she precious? Can't wait to edit the rest of these photos : )
