Happy Birthday Nolan!

Nolan is the nephew of great friends of ours. I've been taking photos of him since he was a newborn and now he is ONE! I was so excited to take his one year photos. We had a fun shoot that started at home and then we moved on to Lake Calhoun for some fun beach shots.


One of my favorites is the one at the bottom right of the collage. We were headed back home from the lake and he was chatting on his cell phone in his wagon. Too cute! And here is a bigger shot of him checkin' out a little lady at the beach. Maybe he's calling her on his cell phone :)

and here is Nolan with his main squeeze, Mommy! Happy First Year, Nolan! I can't wait to meet your new baby sibling in December!

Evan the Fireman

Evan is turning 5 and is OBSESSED with anything that has to do with a fire station.  He is lucky enough to have a neighbor who happens to be a fireman for the Eden Prairie Fire Dept.  So for his birthday photos, we got to spend time at Eden Prairie Fire Station #1.  He brought his awesome costume from FAO Schwartz for the photos.  This was such a fun shoot.  I think I was as excited as he was :)  Happy 5th Birthday Evan!

Happy Birthday to Sydney!

What a fun way to take Sydney's 1 Year Photos! (She is actually little baby David's big sister!!) We went to the Como Park Conservatory and let her run around and have fun. I can't believe how time flies and that she is already 1 year old. She is also my first baby to complete the Baby's First Year Package.

Happy First to Ellie!

Happy First Birthday to Ellie! I had the joy of shooting mom and dad's wedding a few years back (see our very first blog post!) and had so much fun shooting Ellie's 1 Year Photos. This is just a pre-edit collage, but wanted to say Happy Day and Conrgats to mom and dad for making it through the first year of being a parent. She is beautiful!
