Fair + Friends = Fun

Nothing better than a weekend at the fair followed by fun with friends!

StrawberryFest 2012 Fireworks Display

The fireworks team put on another great display at StrawberryFest this year.  These images were all caught using a tripod and the following camera setting:   f/1.8   1.00 s   ISO 100   50 mm


Even the occasional "accident" that happened when I pressed the shutter button too soon, making the lens try to re-focus itself, resulted in pretty designs!

In my garden...

Baby S ~ Hastings Baby Photographer

I spent the morning photographing this lovely little lady.  She was so sweet and happy when she was awake, and once she drifted off to sleep we were able to dress her up in several colorful headbands and tutus.  Here's just a sampling of the cute photos we got!

Baby W ~ Blaine MN Baby Photographer

I introduced you to this little man three months ago at his newborn session.  It was fun to see how much he has grown since then!  He babbled to me during much of our time together today, telling me in great detail secrets that only he understood.  :o)  Don't you just love his red hair?

Meet Miss N

This little beauty was an absolute doll to photograph this afternoon.  She stayed wide awake the whole time, so we didn't get any cute sleeping shots, but that was okay because she has such pretty big brown eyes!  Here are a few of my favorites for your sneak peek!

When you wish upon a...

Baseball evenings

A perfect evening spent with good friends.

Princess E

This little darling is definitely a princess, don't you agree?  She was so sweet and easy to photograph, and we were able to get a lot of cute poses while she slept.  As soon as big sister came home we included her in a few photos too!  Here's a few of my favorites...

Welcome Baby B

Meet 10 day old baby B.  I really enjoyed photographing this sweet little peanut.  You may remember from his maternity session a month ago, that his room was all decked out in Minnesota Twins memorabilia, so I had lot of fun incorporating some of that in his photos today.  Here are a few of my favorites!
 

New Couch

Picked up a new couch/prop this morning and couldn't wait to try it out this afternoon after spending a fun day with friends.  Thanks Jennifer!
