Little Cowboy | Elk River Studio Photographer
This is another example of sepia and color combined together. I thought it was a perfect combo to use on this little guys 10 month portrait. Soooo cute. I love the cowboy (or western/farm) theme. I think I’m going to put a few more props together and offer this one as a monthly special. Scrapbooking […]
Editing. What’s That? | Elk River Photographer
Clients often wonder why it cost so much for “just a piece a paper”. (There is a good article here about why custom photography cost more.) One of the reasons is editing. This post is to show you a little sample of what a photo looks like from start to finish. This is an abbreviated […]
Location Maternity Session | Ramsey Maternity Photographer
Last Sunday’s maternity session. We had indented to do any outdoor session; the weather has been unusually warm and sunny for a Minnesota November. But Mother Nature decided it was time for winter, and Sunday was a blustery, cold, overcast day. It was nippy outside. To prevent everyone from having the “Rudolph” effect (little red […]
Just One More Day of Fall | Elk River Infant Photographer
Apples, cider, pumpkins and colored corn. Green leaves turning brown, the last warm winds blowing them to the ground. As the first snow is falling outside, we were pretending we have one more day of fall to enjoy. Seven months have blown past quickly. I enjoy watching this little guy. He is getting so big. […]
6 Month Home Session | Elk River Infant Photographer
Here is the second half of this little guy’s 6 month session. This is on location. He wasn’t having the best of a day, a little crabby because he wasn’t feeling the best. We managed just a few smiles. But I think the best picture of the day was when he finally zonked out, just […]
A More Serious Side | St. Francis Baby Photographer
This little sweetheart made me work to get some smiles this time, I think she wanted me to see her more serious side. We did manage to get some smiles from her, but when I was going through the images to post on the blog, most of my favorites ended up being the more serious […]
All Business | Elk River Infant Photographer
Wow. I can’t believe six months has past already. Time sure does fly. We did two sessions this month, one home session (will be posting at a later time) and then the studio session. We had a fun time at the studio. A few simple props and a happy baby result in a lot of […]
Thank Heaven for Little Girls | Elk River Infant Photographer
God made the world with its towering trees, majestic mountains and restless seas, then paused and said, “It needs one more thing.” Someone to laugh and dance and sing, to walk in the woods and gather flowers, to commune with nature in quiet hours. So God made little girls with laughing eyes and bouncing curls, […]
5 Month Achievements | Elk River Infant Photographer
Children grow so fast. It seems like you blink and they have grown. As I edit these photos I reminisce back to the time when my children were this small. All their accomplishments, no matter how small, brought such joy. The first couple years they learn so much, it is amazing. Now I have the […]
Baptismal Gown | St. Francis Baby Photographer
I had been looking for a stroller for some time. One day my Daughter called and said my Mom was selling some of her antiques and the stroller was one of the items. I called my Mom right away and had her put it aside. Since, I have been waiting to use this stroller in […]
