What a difference two years makes…

October 14, 2008 – 9:59 am

I last saw this absolutely adorable and charming boy when he was just about 7 months old:

Now he is two, and even more adorable, if that is possible.

This little guy is incredibly smart, energetic and sweet. And, now he is a big brother too!

His little brother is just beautiful, same blue eyes too!

A few more for you to peek at, I will have your gallery finished up next week. I’ll be out of town Thursday-Sunday (MEA) so will return emails, and put up many many galleries {for those of you patiently waiting} next week.

Thanks!

catch up on sneak peeks

October 13, 2008 – 12:46 pm

Here is the first of many sneak peeks I am behind on. I’m hoping to play catch up today and tomorrow!

This was a lovely family-really enjoyed meeting you all. I’ll let you know when the gallery is ready, but in the mean time, here are a few to hold you over until then.

one year…

October 3, 2008 – 9:43 am

Its always absolutely stunning to me the transformation that takes place in the first year of a babies life. Some of you may remember Addie from her newborn photos a year ago:

And here she is a few months ago, crawling, laughing and adorable: And at her 1st Birthday party last weekend walking and dancing:

Isn’t that the best Robot cake EVER?

Yummmyy….that cupcake looks good! Here with her two grandmas…

She is such a fun, sweet and happy little girl. Just amazing how they change so much in a year! So, to one of my favorite one year olds, Happy Birthday!

sneak peek of a beautiful day and family…

October 2, 2008 – 12:15 pm

I photographed this charming family on one of those beautiful days right between summer and fall. They are relatives of a great family I have been photographing for several years, I’m always so grateful for referrals to friends and family, so thanks J&B!

This sweet little one year has about the nicest big brother I’ve seen…so careful and concerned about his little sister, and she in turn is just obviously crazy about him, crawling all over him, laughing, trying to stick her fingers in his mouth, and he put up with it all-what a nice guy!

I will have the rest of your gallery up soon-wonderful to meet you all!

Another one of my favorite families…

September 7, 2008 – 7:45 pm

Many of my blog readers and regular clients will remember these two adorable children, who are all over my past blog entries of the past 4 years as well as the website:

Its so amazing to me how much they have changed in the year since I saw them last. I was completely unprepared for the tremendous transformation of their dear little sister though… this was her about a year ago:

And this was the darling little girl who I got to see now! I really don’t think it is possible for her to be any more adorable!

Well, really–all of them are just lovely–to look at, to talk to, and definitely to photograph. I’ll quit with the gushing now, and just post a couple more. Great to see you again, and I will have the rest up soon!

sneak peek…Finn

August 31, 2008 – 8:21 am

I’ve been working since early this morning, desperately trying to catch up with the nine sessions I have to proof. Here is a sneak peek of one-newborn baby Finn. Just one day old here, taken at the hospital. Such a beautiful and beloved little guy.

I’ll have everyone’s galleries up by the end of the week, since the kids go back to school on Tuesday and I can work again! Thanks for your patience!

some recent favorites…

July 6, 2008 – 8:58 pm

Summer is flying by, and now that the 4th of July is over, it is finally warming up around here. I have been remiss (again, no surprise) in posting promised sneak peeks, so I will just pull out a few of my favorites from the past couple weeks to share. :)

A quick note, summer and fall appointments are filling up fast, only a few are left. If you are counting on a session, or you have a high school senior who you want me to photograph before the fall—call or email NOW to get your session booked.

Now, the photos: enjoy!

A few more sneak peeks…

June 11, 2008 – 9:10 am

Such a beautiful newborn, and one of the most compliant pliable little ones. She slept through everything, with the mandatory pee and poop of course.

And can’t forget big sister and brother! Such sweet, nice kids. Really enjoyed meeting them!

I will have more galleries up as soon as possible!

thanks!

{oh my! over a month!} & Special Memorial Day Offer!

May 24, 2008 – 3:59 pm

Oh. My. It has been over a month since I posted on this blog.
I’m truly embarrassed! I know, I know, everyone says they are busy, and me too, but this spring has been very busy in all areas of my life; photography work; including families, kids, babies, politicians and work for headshots, and also very busy volunteering at school for my kids, local politics, I’m a delegate to the state DFL convention in June and I am very excited, and projects around the house etc.
So…my blog has been abandoned. Just in case any of my previously faithful readers are still out there, I’m going to post a special Memorial Day offer below a few recent shots.
I shouldn’t even be posting at all, as I have five sessions I should be editing, but I felt bad when I realized how long it has been, so…a few recent shots that I still have on my hardrive.

Still there? Thanks!
So, my super-secret Memorial Day special for the lucky clients who still read my neglected blog and notice it:
Purchase a Gift Certificate this weekend for any dollar amount over $50, and you will get 20% more added for free!!! For example, if you purchase a $100 gift certificate this weekend, you will actually get one for $120. A $500 gift certificate would become $600! I will accept gift certificate purchases through Monday (memorial day, 5/26/08) at 7pm. Cannot be used with any other offer, and gift certificates must be used within one year of purchase.

To take advantage of this special offer, email me here! Include the amount you would like (not including the add’l 20%) and I will send you an invoice that you can pay by credit card @ paypal, and must be paid within 24 hours, or is void. Questions? Email at above link.

thanks,

Mary

A semi-recent session…

April 13, 2008 – 10:16 am

I keep meaning to blog about recent sessions and show some of my favorite images and life just keeps getting in the way. My apologies to the parents of all the cute kids who I have missed. If you are feeling left out, drop me an email and I’ll try to feature your little one too.

Here is one from last weekend, the most adorable little brother and sister. This little guy was only 2 years old and so talkative and so into his Thomas trains and airplanes, etc. Just the smartest, cutest, sweetest little boy. A true joy to photograph and meet….
