Ky & Charlie: Maternity Session

Posted on September 18, 2010

This is my beautiful sister, Kyleen, we took her maternity photos while I was home at the end of August. Just in time because baby Charlie was born 9-6-2010. Yes, on Labor day! I just love how bright and sunny her photos turned out. She looks absolutely gorgeous and I love all of them.

Have a nice Saturday & enjoy this photo preview, Samantha

such a happy & beautiful mommy!

She wanted Dean (my son) to join her and Charles for a few photos! I love all of them!

Can’t wait to take baby Charlie’s photos when I’m home in October!

Brittany + Jon = married!!

Posted on September 12, 2010

Brit and Jon’s wedding was just beautiful. I am so happy to have been apart of it. I have been working on these photos for a couple weeks now. I had a hard time choosing just a few photos for the preview so here is what I narrowed it down to. I think they are just a wonderful couple and I wish them all the best in the future! They have been so fun to photograph this past year, click the links to see their previous photos. Bosco puppy session, Engagement session 1 and Engagement session 2.
Enjoy and have a nice Sunday, Samantha
First time seeing each other:

They were so happy to see each other. you could just feel it!

Brittany and Jon: Engagement Photos

Posted on September 12, 2010

We did some engagement photos in February but we wanted to do a second session during August. We did this session at University of St. Thomas (my alma mater as well as Brittany’s). Jon is also getting his Master’s there at St. Thomas and in some of the photos they are actually standing in the spot where he asked her to marry him! They live right down the road so this location was very fitting! Their wedding photo preview is next. Enjoy, Samantha





The Bertsch’s

Good afternoon!

I have known this family for years and it’s so nice to visit with them while taking their photographs. They welcomed a baby boy at the end of June and it was great to meet him. I love all of the photos of the two brothers. Enjoy and have a nice rest of your week, Samantha

My favorites!

Brother love.





The Fust’s

Posted on September 8, 2010

I met this family last year at this time and it was so great seeing them all again. We had such a fun time and took some posed photos and some candid ones too. I love the bright colors they were wearing and the overall feeling from the photos. Enjoy, Samantha
My favorite family photo of them (below)





Melanie and Robbie: Engagement Session

Posted on September 8, 2010

We took these photos in Downtown Wayzata and these were my personal favorites from our time together. I think they capture who Melanie and Robbie are as a couple because not all of them are too posey (if that’s a word!) I am so excited for their wedding at the beginning of October! Until then enjoy these photos, Samantha





The Gosz Family

Posted on September 7, 2010

I’ve known this family for awhile now and I love photographing them because they always turn out so beautiful! I couldn’t decide I love them so much so here is a large sneak peek. 

ONE of my FAVORITES!

Running through the lawn. Climbing trees. Blowing kisses. Multi-colored nail polish. Rope Swings. Ohhh to be a kid again. Can you tell I loved the session by how many photos I put up? It reminded me of a simpler time and it was so fun capturing Zoe be a kid.

The end. I LOVE all of these photos. Enjoy, Samantha





The Schlauderaff’s

Posted on September 3, 2010

my favorite family photo of them!

I LOVE both of these!


Such a beautiful photo of Bryn...I love the eyes!

last but not least...I LOVE all of these photos!

Good morning to you!

I wanted to get a preview up of these photos because I just love how they turned out! I love the bright colors, the background and the candid shots. I took photos for this family last year at  this time and it was great seeing them again. The photo session was very lively and I think the photos portray that.
Enjoy, Samantha
A LITTLE FLASHBACK from the photos I loved of them last year:

What a difference a year makes...all grown up!

My favorite!
