deegan family

Meet the Deegans. On a cold day in November we hunkered down in their warm house for our first photo session. We added some of the kids favorite toys, cow and sheep, and had some fun. Their blue eyes are just stunning and catching a serious face, well, was seriously hard! Lots of laughs and silly faces were had by all.
We actually caught a few family photo's with everyone looking in the same direction, eyes open, and smiling! A Christmas miracle with a 2 and 4 year old! What a joy it is to see a loving family at Christmas. Thank you for inviting me into your house during this time to capture the love.
All the best to you this Christmas season. Em

harrison

Meet Mr. Harrison the newest son to our past clients William and Marla. Even though Harrison wasn't much in the "mood" for smiles the day we met, he still managed to look very serious and give us a few funny faces. Once again I was stunned to witness the love between parents and their children. Thank you for inviting me into your home to witness your joy. All the best to you this holiday season. Love, Em

ayla

"Rock on girl" is what comes to mind when I see this image above! I had the pleasure of meeting Ayla in person recently for our first photo session. I went to college with her mom, so our shoot was also a reunion of sorts. What an amazing and crazy experience to see your friends with their new babies.
I am a lucky girl that I have such a cool job! Thank you Ayla for inviting me into your home and sharing your parents with me for an hour! You are going to grow up in a very loving and fun family. We are both very lucky girls. I will keep my eye out for more cute hats for your collection! All the best to you, Em

stacey & kevin

Check out Stacey and Kevin's fabulous wedding in Duluth, MN. The beginning of the day gave us cold and raining weather, but just at the perfect time, the weather cleared for a good half hour and we were blessed with another awesome opportunity to get great lighting for great images. Stacey and Kevin were extremely flexible because we had to make new plans to deal with the weather. Their flexibility really paid off. You have no idea by their faces that they were freezing. It was only 35 degrees by the water during some of those shots, so they did a great job.
One of my favorite parts of the day was at the end of the ceremony when the string quartet played "All Of My Love" by Led Zeppelin. That was the first time I had heard that song played at a wedding, and I thought it was awesome! Thank you for doing something out of the box. This was a great example of how to do a classic rock song tastefully (or sneaky) inside a church ceremony!
Stacey and Kevin's reception was held at Greysolon Ballroom in downtown Duluth. Greysolon is not only a beautiful locations, especially for winter weddings, but the staff, service, and meal was outstanding. I was very impressed with this location and look forward to working there again.
Thanks again for the great Saturday. Congrats on your big day. It was beautiful.
All the best, Em

louis

Hello Louis! Two of our great friends are the fine owners of this energetic English Bull dog! What a funny little guy. I just love his funny face. At times it looks like he is totally smiling at you. What a hoot. Thanks for the fun at the park Lou.

lind family

Meet my dear friend Nyra and her funny and adorable children Nadia and Oliver. We did a quick shoot in my neighborhood before all the fall leaves fell and were covered by snow. Many smiles and giggles, but of course the promise of a sucker for Oliver helped to hold back the tears of this spunky 2 year old. As all you mom's know, 2 year old kids don't want to do anything that isn't exactly what they want to do! Sometimes bribes help, but only for 3 seconds! Good thing my shutter is quick! Thanks for the fun. I love you guys. Em

roth kids

Check out the beautiful Roth children. They are so adorable, and their eyes are stunning. I can't stop staring! We met over at Bukolt Park and took advantage of the fall leaves and the fun jungle gym. I can't believe how big everyone is getting. I love watching them grow! Thank you Kelly for continuing to come back and use me for your photography! All the best to you and your growing team! Love You!
