hat or no hat... HAT!

16 degrees - feels like 6 degrees: this is what my phone weather read.

I LOVE people like this, willing to brave the elements for some fun photos!!  Have I mentioned I love shooting outside in the winter?  Frozen thumbs, don't bother me a bit when the setting is this pretty!  Don't worry, no one was hurt in the process, we took indoor breaks.  And anyway, these people are so stinking beautiful and easy-going that our session literally took 35 minutes from start to finish...

new tadpole FB profile picture - I think so!

forget the freezing business - these guys are HOT!!

my favorite that I have worked from this session so far.
 I love how dreary the colors turn up.

Thanks guys - for doing MN outdoors in the cold - I hope you find your photos worth it, I do!

baby b...sweet pea

I had soooooo much fun with this!  Not only is baby B beautiful, but mom and dad are so fun, I could have stayed all day... (they probably thought I did!).  Remember baby B here???  Now she's HERE!!!

  





  

She is so wonderful, congrats you guys!!!

early morning shoot - family of 5... chilly style!

OHHHH how I love shooting in the morning before the sun gets all high in the sky... but this time of year is tricky because it can be soooo chilly in the mornings. On my way to the shoot my car temp gauge was reading 31 or 32, and I think it was to 34 by the time I got to our location. That temp, coupled with the wind left this family a little teary eyed, goose bumpled and chittery toothed, but they were awesome - and I am still kinda shocked how many really great images we got from our 35 minutes together!



she had a hard time not smiling (gorgeous smile), but I think she looks SO pretty when she is serious like this also!




 

love this, even with hypothermia setting in, they still have fun!





I was a little nervous when shooting in the area this one was taken in,

it was after all deer opener and we were in a field..

not so smart, but SO beauteous!



Beautiful family, hope your toes and fingers didn't fall off regained feeling and you didn't catch a cold.  Thanks for the great morning!

The whole family on a windy day...

Remember these cuties?!?  This time we did the whole family.  It was great!  Little sister is walking now, and liking to see what big brother is up to...She is very sweet.  Big brother is the cutest little guy ever.  I know I say that alot, but look at him!  He has the best expressions.   Mom and dad are so mello about, well, everything.  This makes for a fun session! 

We had the session right off the river, and it was windy as heck, and chilly.  Runny noses, pink cheeks and freezing fingers, but the kids were so happy.  Thanks guys!
