Mounds View Fitness Photographer~ Becka {Sneak Peek}

First of all I want to start by congratulating Becka again, on placing 2nd in her first Figure Show.  If you have never competed or taken the time to learn about the sport of bodybuilding than you might not understand the dedication it takes.  The hours in the gym, the time away from social events, the hours of meal prep and the determination of clean eating or IIFYM.
 
She worked her booty off to be on stage against a very stacked class of women and took home 2nd!!!!!!  I am so impressed.
 
 
 
 I can honestly say that if I was in this physical condition, I would share my photos too :)  So thanks.
 
 
 
 
Take a look at this beautiful woman and her incredible physique. 








I also want to Thank You for allowing me to share some of your images from the session we did last weekend. 
 
 
**Thank you to my home gym Allegiance Fitness of Mounds View for allowing us to shoot there.




Blaine Maternity Photographer~ Rajeanne & Sean {Sneak Peek}

I have had the chance to work with this cute duo before, but not in a one on one session.  They are both so calm natured and just so sweet to one another. 
 
 I can tell just by the way they spoke to each other and the way they were during our hour session together that they will be such great parents. 
 
 
 
Rajeanne & Sean are newlyweds and are expecting their first baby, little Elisa.  By the looks of her parents, I am sure she will be a beautiful little girl.  And what a gorgeous name. 
 
I love asking clients how they came up with the baby's name.  Although I won't be the one to share with you how they chose Elisa for their daughter, I can assure you it made me a little misty eyed.
 
Before I go on for far too long about these two, here are a few photos from their session.
 
 
 





 
Thank you both!  I enjoyed talking with you and working with you, although it didn't feel like work at all!

Blaine Maternity Photographer~ Luke, Beth and Davin {Sneak Peek}

Oh my word, I have been so blessed with incredible clients. 

 I cannot even begin to tell you just how wonderful these two were to work with, okay I can begin :) 

Luke, Beth and soon to be Davin were so much fun.  These two were so sweet with one another, the way they talked about preparing for their precious little one just melted my mom heart. 


As a Photographer I love seeing passion and emotion when I shoot, these two shared such a loving bond and it didn't go unnoticed. 


Take a look for yourselves and see just how adorable Luke and Beth were this past weekend. 






 



 
 
Beth & Luke it was a pleasure meeting you both and working with you!  I Look forward to Davin's arrival. 
 
Best wishes.

Blaine Maternity Photographer~ Jen & Matt {Sneak Peek}

Talk about a good looking couple.  Matt and Jen were one of the most easy going, fun loving couples I have ever worked with.  I said "stand here", "move there", "hold that kiss"... and they did!  No questions asked. 
 
Jen had joked about how some of the imagery on Pinterest these days is just so "picture perfect".  Well Jen, so are you two! 
You can be sure I would pin your adorable belly all over my boards :)
 
Take a look for yourselves to see just why I fell in love with working with these two and their soon to be baby girl. 







 
Thank you guys so much for letting me in on some of the fun you two share. 
 I cannot wait to meet your precious baby girl.

Ramsey Maternity Photographer~ Baby Davis is on his way {Sneak Peek}

Something about Harleys, pregnancy, and new babies just makes me smile! 
 
I had so much fun in the park with Brooke, Rich, Amber and baby to be Davis. 
 
They were all so on board for anything I threw their way.  Not only that, but they also had some great ideas of their own.  I love when clients come ready to just act natural and have fun with the session.
 
 
 
I swear the way these two love birds were, they couldn't even tell I was there. 
 






 
Thank you all so much for allowing me to work with your family.  I cannot wait to meet baby Davis in a few months :)

Blaine Maternity Photographer~ Baby Jaxon is on his way

I had the pleasure of working with Jessie and her family the other weekend. 
 
It was great watching how her son reacted to her belly with his soon to be baby brother Jaxon inside. 
 
This little family seems over the moon about their June arrival. 
 
 We lucked out with no rain and decent temperatures. 
 
 I was able to capture so many great shots, but here are just a few of my favorite ones.
 



 
Thank you so much Syrdal family, it was a joy working with you.

Blaine Mother & Child Photographer~ Mommy & Me mini sessions {Sneak Peek}



I find very few things in life as rewarding as being a parent.  The love you have for another life is incredible.  The way your heart grows with each new child you bring into your life blows my mind.  Being a Mother is seriously so amazing. 


When I first announced my Mommy & Me sessions, I got some interest right out of the gate.  I was thrilled when I was able to make a full afternoon out of it with the clients I had.  It was so fun watching how each Mom interacted with their child.  I know that everyone has a different perspective on parenting and a different technique, but we all love our children and we all want the best for them.  Before I go on and on and get emotional, here are a few shots from yesterday's sessions.  I love every single moment I was able to capture.  See for yourselves just how special these shoots really were.



 
 
 
 
 
 






Thank you so much to all of you Mother's that came out and spent some time with me.  Brought your children and let me work with you all.  I had a great time and I loved seeing/meeting all of you.
