03.04.13 love times three
I don’t post a lot of family pictures but once in a while there is one I just have to share. This picture is a perfect expression of our family life. We are blessed with an abundance of love, true interest in each other, and real, sweet affection. Zola’s smile says it all: life really is good.

Zola is nearly five years old. By turns sweet, sassy, wise, bewildering, and utterly surprising, she is one of the most interesting people I know. How lucky that I get to be her mom.

My dear friend Elizabeth always brings the love. But, on this visit home, she brought a little extra! His name is Soren. 9 weeks in the world with blue eyes as endless as the love that surrounds him. Welcome, sweet child.

more lovely ladies
Same location (Lyndale Park Gardens – see recent posts) but a completely different photo session – senior portraits with twins Jordyn & Rylee. They were so easy to photograph, I felt like I was working with a couple of models! And, even better, they were lots of fun.
Thanks Jordyn & Rylee for another beautiful day in the garden and the opportunity to create these special pictures with you!
grace in the garden
Part of my reason for wandering the Lyndale Park Gardens? Photo shoots! I spent a lovely morning there recently with three-year-old Grace and her mother, Lisa. Grace kept us moving, giving us the chance to try lots of ideas and, ultimately, too many cute pics to choose from!
Thank you, Grace & Lisa for a beautiful day in the garden!
Say cheese.
Today I am excited to unveil something I’ve been working on for some time:
Avant Garden Portraits! (Keep reading – there’s a special offer here, too!)
I think portraits should be about revealing the natural beauty and true character of their subjects. I see the whole experience of creating portraits as a collaboration between subject and photographer. I work with clients to determine location, creative direction, even wardrobe (if you want). Then we hang out and I take pictures. We can keep it simple or get really creative. The experience is unique to each individual or family; it should be comfortable. And fun!
