Maggie Ann : Newborn Photography

This little sweetheart is the newest love of one of my past clients. I love her daughter, Sophie, and I was excited to meet Maggie. Let's just say that Maggie is an ideal second child. She's very mellow and go-with-the-flow.
She was already a month old before we got together for newborn pictures, which isn't usually what I recommend. I like doing them 10 days or younger, but we got extremely lucky and she was awake at first, but not fussy - nothing a pacifier couldn't fix anyway! ;)
Then, the darling girl fell asleep in her mommy's arms as I set up a new background and we got all these adorable sleeping pictures too! Don't you just want to eat her up!
Enjoy,

Christine & Ryan : Albert Lea, MN : Wedding Photography

I am really excited to share these images with you from a recent wedding I photographed. I am thinking I might even have to do a second post later featuring all the amazing flowers and decorations. They had the coolest ideas!
I loved working with Christine. She was all about the non-traditional types of pictures. I just love all the images we got. It was so hard to narrow them down, and I'm totally pumped about seeing her this Saturday to share the whole set of wedding images with her and her family.
Enjoy!

Kailey : Glenville High School : Senior Portraits

Well, today I am sharing some images from a senior session I wrapped up a week ago and I am so happy with the way these turned out.
Kailey, her mom and I had so much fun taking her senior photos.
Plus, Kailey and I discovered they make some bad-ass fried pickles at the North Star Xpress gas station in Northwood.
I had such a hard time narrowing down the proofs and I think I should apologize in advance to their family for making it wayyy too hard to choose! Seriously!
Enjoy!

Katie : Belly Love : Maternity Portrait Session

This lovely lady was one of my brides last year and I am excited to be photographing her cute baby belly for her!
It was fun having both Katie and Justin back in the studio and hearing their new stories about getting ready for the baby. I just know they are going to make wonderful parents and I can't wait to meet their little one.
They are expecting a boy, and supposedly Justin has a boy name all picked out, but he's withholding it from everyone... including Katie! LOL!
I wish we could get him to spill the beans, but I guess we'll have to wait to find out. Hopefully Katie will like it too! ;)
Gotta go!
Enjoy.
Becca
P.S. Katie is the sweetheart from my radio ads now playing on 98.7 KISS Country

Jasmin & Andy : Engagement Session

This is just the beginning of their Love Story photography... the wedding collections I offer all include a deluxe engagement session. No ten shots and you're out the door... no sir! I go all out, and let you do as much creative stuff as you like to get the true feeling of you as a couple.
But, this was far from the start of Andy and Jasmin's love story... :) Right? I think Andy had to "you know what" or get off the pot... *wink* Just kidding!
I could tell the minute I started clicking the camera that these two were in love. They are just the sweetest pair!
Their dogs, Boo and Earl came along for the fun too. They are so cuddly! I love the shot where Jasmin and Andy are tangled in their leashes. Too cute!
I can't wait for the wedding day, Jasmin is so beautiful. She will make a wonderful bride. And they both are so laid-back, just my type of people!
Well, better get back to work!
Enjoy!

Michael : Senior Portraits : Alden High School

Well girls, this hottie is the younger brother of a senior girl I did portraits for a few years back... and I'm so glad the family chose to return to my studio. We had a lot of fun teasing Michael, but there are some really great shots of him laughing.
This guy can totally pull off the serious look too, without looking grumpy. (Trust me, it's NOT easy!)
We also took some great shots of him with his hunting gear because he's really into that. I totally understand the hunting thing because my husband is hopelessly obsessed with it himself and I go hunting every year with him.
That's all for now, lots of orders to get sent in today!
Enjoy,
Becca

Henry : Albert Lea High School : Senior Portraits

Henry here was a bit of a tough cookie to get to smile at first. He wasn't really looking forward to taking his senior portraits, like many mothers of teenagers can tell you is a pretty common thing.
I was up to the challenge of getting him to have fun though! :)
At least he was interested enough to bring his pickup truck and his FFA gear along.
I'm happy to say I got quite a few smiling pictures for his mom, and also a good share of serious poses to make Henry happy too.
Gotta love it!
Enjoy,
Becca
