Ramblin’ Rose

October 22, 2015 By katrina 2 Comments

I had the absolute honor of photographing little Rose’s birth last year, to see her now walking and talking and laughing is such a joy! And even though the very first thing she did during the session was face plant and cut her lip, she recovered quickly and had had a blast playing with Dada and Mama. This family is so special to me, so full of love and happiness…Rose is a lucky little gal to be a part of it!

We found this glorious red and orange tree which matched Rose’s sweater and tried to get it in some portraits…but this little girl did NOT want to stand still, she was constantly on the go!

Enjoy the sneak peek!!!

Down by the Bay

Yesterday morning was the perfect time for a family portrait session on Lake Minnetonka. With two rambunctious kiddos, we were all kept on our toes trying to keep up and capture their awesome smiles!

Mom and Dad totally deserved some snuggle time after all that toddler wrangling!

And naturally one of the best images happens at the very end…with the kids sitting in the parking lot…it is how things work with children’s portraits!

Enjoy the sneak peek! I had a great time!!!

Simone’s Doljanchi

June 7, 2015 By katrina Leave a Comment

Simone had her first birthday party today! In Korean tradition, a child’s Doljanchi is a big deal, and Simone’s mom created a gorgeous party with a French travel theme and including lots of pink, gold sparkles, and whimsical designs.

The afternoon started off with Simone’s one year portraits…and her brother joined her for some as well!

They are just the cutest!

This party was birthday party paradise. Face painting, a bounce house, crafts, cotton candy, and the most delicious food and desserts!

Later in the afternoon, Simone was dressed in a traditional hanbok and guests watched as she played a game called doljabi. Family members guess what profession she is going to choose and then the child picks an item that says what she will be when she grows up. Simone chose a paint set…though also the stethoscope, so maybe she’ll be a doctor and a painter!

Time for singing Happy Birthday and the cake smash!

It was such a pleasure being a part of the festivities today! Enjoy the sneak peek!
