Lightsabers and Fairy Wands

April 29, 2012 By katrina 2 Comments

Miles and little sister Eleanor just hit milestones…turning 5 and 1 respectively. So this was the perfect time for portraits. Miles was such a good big brother, and did a great job smiling for the camera. His favorite part was making funny faces of course. Eleanor was busy busy busy, just aching to run around. Her parents called how she moved on all fours a “bear walk”, so I made sure to get her in action!

Since Eleanor’s new favorite thing is to sit on her brother and squish him, we made sure to capture that moment, and I adore the look of triumph on her face! And you can tell Miles is the son of a videographer…he looked at the back of my camera and said, “that picture is too dark”. Love it!

Here are my favorite images, enjoy!

Blustery Energy

This morning I met up with a family that just added a fourth little one into their brood. Unfortunately the day was super windy…fortunately, this family was super cool and wanted pictures that showed their family in action. In between gusts of wind, we were able to get some really great shots of the family and include their beloved city of St Paul in the images as well.

I was just really bummed the kids had zero personality…it was hard to photograph them as they were so calm and stoic ; )

Cosmopolitan Engagement Session – Part 1

August 23, 2011 By katrina 5 Comments

I must say, I’ve had a blast emailing Amy back and forth, planning this engagement session. She is so full of ideas and energy and she and George wanted to do something special for their session.

Since George is passionately involved in politics, he and Amy are used to having their relationship take place over long distance. When these friends became a couple, they called two different cities home and communicated over email and phone quite a bit. So to truly tell their story, we are shooting their engagement session in two parts. One in St. Paul and one in Chicago. I present to you, the St. Paul edition, enjoy =)

Wild Love

Chris and Kelly had their engagement session today.

The impending rainstorms threatened us at first, but instead of rain, we just had gorgeous clouds and soft light to work with. We started our session in front of Xcel Energy Center, where Chris and Kelly first met. Enjoying the gorgeous weather, we took a walk down to Rice Park and back, stopping wherever we found a neat backdrop. Chris and Kelly were great, even when I asked them to do weird poses, and I love how Chris made Kelly laugh =)

Here are my favorite images, enjoy!

Polka Dots and Lilacs

I had a lovely family session on Saturday morning. Though she was a very serious little girl, she sure had smiles for daddy, and there was a very specific noise mom made that really got her laughing! We had a few outfit changes, played with fresh flowers, and enjoyed the breeze along the river.

Here are my favorites! Enjoy!
