Ashley's Senior Portrait Session

Ashley is my first senior of 2008. She is my senior rep for Hill Murray. She gets free rep cards (business card sized with her pic on it) to hand out and can earn portrait credit for any referrals. She gets 15% off her portrait order and so does anyone she refers. Most of her session was photographed near her home and a few on the St. Croix in Bayport.

Senior rep sessions end June 15th. Book your senior session soon!

O'Leary Girls Portrait Session

We totally lucked out with this session in Stillwater at the Historic Courthouse. The crab apple blossoms never last very long but we were lucky enough to get great weather and blossoms. Love the pink blossoms. These lil' sweeties are just adorable! Nothing cuter that little girls dancing!

A new vintage effect...

Celebrating Lilie

This sweet angel is Lilie. She was born with a congenital heart defect called Dilated Cardiomyopathy. Later she was also diagnosed with GM1 Gangliosidosis. It is a rare, incurable lysosomal storage disease (enzyme deficiency). Because toxins can not be broken down, she will continue to degenerate. Lilie is now 18 months old, most with this disease don't live to celebrate their second birthday. The Clark family continues to celebrate each day they have with Lilie.

The Clarks contacted me due to the incredible non-profit organization Now I lay Me Down To Sleep(NILMDTS). Originally NILMDTS offered bereavement photography to families suffering the loss of a newborn. However now due to the many volunteer photographers NILMDTS offers photography for older babies and children. For more info on NILMDTS, please visit...

I am so honored to be chosen to document a part of Lilie's Journey.

Picard Family Portrait Session

Another great session at Pioneer Park in Stillwater. This session was a Mother's Day gift from Craig to Kit and his mother. Portraits truely are a wonderful gift!

Natalie's 18 month Portrait Session

I can't believe that Natalie is already a toddler! I have been photographing her since she was a newborn. She was totally charming and quite the entertainer. Check out my new favorite girl prop... A pink tutu.
