Alex and Katherine

Posted on March 25, 2010

First let me say, I love three year olds! Well in particular, this three year old, Alex. He was such a sweetheart and so entertaining. I had such a nice time with him and his mom the other day roaming around Downtown Fayetteville. We also played inside at his mom’s Yoga studio which is absolutely gorgeous. I am SO excited to photograph her Yoga class on Saturday!

I hope you love these photos as much as I do and you can feel his personality come through the photographs. As well as see the sweet relationship this mother and son have. I am excited for them to see the rest of the photos and for them to send them to his dad overseas.

Enjoy, Samantha

One week old: Ava’s home session

Posted on March 17, 2010

Ava is a week old in these photos. She is very photogenic just like her parents! They are such a sweet family and what a beautiful little girl they have. I hope you like them as much as I do, it was difficult to choose just a few.

Ava Marie arrived into the world on Friday, March 5th! I am so happy for this family and their new sweet baby. Mike (my husband) and I were able to visit at the hospital the next day and capture a brand new beautiful human being. I hope you all love these photos as much as I do (I can’t seem to pick a favorite!). I look forward to this Friday for our followup photo session at their home.

Congrats Ashley & Dan and WELCOME Ava!

Britt and Jon: Engagement Session

Posted on March 8, 2010

We were fortunate enough to have a sunny Minnesota winter day! I have photographed this beautiful/photogenic couple before with their puppy, Bosco (the weiner dog). Jon recently asked Brittany to marry him and they plan to wed this coming August. I am SO excited to capture their Wedding day for them!

On a sidenote: He asked her while walking through the University of St. Thomas’s campus and I can’t wait to get back in August to take their actual engagement photos on campus/around that area. We wanted to snap some photos now for their newspaper announcements and whatnot.

These photos and the ones to come are near and dear to my heart because for one Brittany is family or at least I call her cousin (we are related somehow) and also St. Thomas is where I graduated from (Britt graduated from there too and now Jon is attending grad school there) and it will be SO beautiful in August for engagement photos! I AM SO EXCITED!

Enjoy, Samantha
