a surprise for grandma | minneapolis children's photographer
July 27, 2010
Maybe I'm biased, but I think surprise photographs are possibly the best gift (to give and to receive). I've been holding off sharing these images until the surprise was revealed. The grandma of this group of cousins got a special surprise on her birthday. Such a great, thoughtful idea. Plus, bonus for me that I got to hang out with this awesome family. :)

fortunate | minneapolis family photography
July 18, 2010
A few weeks ago, on a very humid early morning, I got to meet a new family. A happy family. A connected family. A sweet family. A family who I feel fortunate to have spent a very humid early morning with just a few weeks ago. :)

blessed | minneapolis children's photographer
July 11, 2010
I'm so blessed. Really blessed. I get to spend time with awesome little kids like (twins) Henry & Hannah. I get to know amazing families. And I get to witness and be a part of moments like these. These images fill my heart. Oh how I love spending time with this family. Now you get to spend a little time with them too. :)
