Birth Announcements | Minnesota Baby Photography

2012-02-17T13:40:00.001-06:00

Birth Announcements: what a personal and artful way to introduce friends and family to your new edition! Here are two designs for Baby Gino's announcements, printed on pearl paper for an elegant, almost iridescent, glow. Note: They decided on the black-and-white for a more classic, clean look.

More Mexico | Destination Photography

Here are some more fun ones from our recent trip to Riviera Maya, Mexico. We stayed at the Grand Palladium Riviera Resort & Spa.

Merry'd Session in Mexico | Destination Wedding Photography

2012-02-13T09:20:00.000-06:00

Here it is! My recent trip to Grand Palladium Riviera Resort & Spa in Riviera Maya, Mexico allowed for these shots of Sara & David, from Norfolk, Virginia. Tim filmed much of our shooting, so a behind-the-scenes video is in the works.

Merry'd Sessions (aka Trash the Dress) can take on any form: couple session in/around the resort, a "little black dress" beach session, and a striking sunrise shoot. We tried for sunset but due to afternoon cloud cover, opted for sunrise - so worth it! I'm in love with this couple (of course!) and these images. :) Can't wait to do more destination work!

MN Bride Magazine's Look of Love | Minnesota Wedding Photographer

2012-02-10T21:47:00.002-06:00

Minnesota Bride Magazine's Look of Love bridal event last weekend made for a stunning afternoon. Talented wedding professionals, glamorous details, and an elegant location - the Westin Edina Galleria - a winning combination.

Vendor: Aprés Party & Tent Rental at Unveiled Wedding Event | Minneapolis Event Photography

2012-02-08T15:48:00.000-06:00

I had the opportunity to swing by the Convention Center for the Unveiled Wedding Event (by the spectacular Wedding Guys) to shoot some of Aprés Party & Tent Rental's STUNNING displays. Their array of linens, vases, and tableware were combined with 413 on Wacouta's booth, The Wedding Guys' Reception scene, and also filled a stage with creativity.

Save The Date: Andrea & Tyler

2012-02-06T20:24:00.003-06:00

Save the Date cards are a fun way to show off some of your engagement images - and make sure all your family and friends mark their calendars. :) Here's the design for Andrea & Tyler's Save-the-Dates, printed on pearl paper for an elegant, almost iridescent, glow. Note: They planned ahead with the sign - so cute!

View their SESSION from last September at Rice Park and Mears Park.

Baby on the Way | Farrah & Kevin | Minneapolis Maternity Photography

2012-01-22T12:16:00.000-06:00

I love love love when I can photographically check in with past clients' lives. Farrah and Kevin booked me for their wedding reception at The Soap Factory a couple years back (and were even featured in MN Bride's Newlyweds section). Now they're expecting! I'm so lucky to have such wonderful clients as friends and can't wait to meet their baby girl and watch her grow - making photographs all along the way! Here's a few favs from their in-home maternity session.

Stay tuned... Next month Farrah and I will work side-by-side for a stylized bridal fashion shoot - she's an amazing hair and make up artist!

Liza's One! | Minneapolis Baby Photographer

2012-01-17T13:34:00.000-06:00

Liza's parents opted for our New Arrival Collection - three sessions in baby's first year. We started with Liza's newborn session at her home, then did a 4 month session at the Stone Arch Bridge, and just concluded with her one year session at the Guthrie Theater. She was in such a good mood I got a little selfish and really worked it! :) Mom, Dad and brother David got in on the fun too! Here's some of my favorites from this latest shoot. I'll post a compilation of all three session soon (hopefully sooner rather than later). Enjoy!

Meet Baby Gino | Minnesota Baby Photography

2012-01-16T11:29:00.000-06:00

This little guy was born on New Years Day. I've known Gino's mama since middle school, and just a few (short) years later, Dani and Nick have become wonderful parents! I had a beautiful (well, snow-less and peaceful) drive to Duluth, MN this weekend to meet Gino and visit his family - it was such a treat! He is just too stinkin' cute! :) Can't wait to watch - and document - him growing!

12.17.11 Bemidji Wedding Reception | MN Wedding Photography

2012-01-03T12:25:00.000-06:00

Rachel and Tanner were married in Arizona and a couple months later scooted up to Rachel's hometown of Bemidji, MN for a December reception. A dusting of snow, seasonably nice weather, warm romantic candlelight, and a cheerful woodsy country club overlooking a beautiful lake created the perfect celebration for family and friends. It was a fun get-away and change of scenery for my second shooter and me as well! So wonderful! Congrats you two - you're simply wonderful! :)

Location: Bemidji Town & Country Club

Lafayette Club's Gingerbread Houses | Minnesota Event Photographer

2011-12-04T20:58:00.005-06:00

The Lafayette Club hosted a charming holiday event last weekend. Kids and their families made gingerbread houses and wrote letters to Santa amidst holiday music and cheer. It was my first holiday festivity this year - so lovely!

Headshots | Kristin & Justin | Minnesota Headshot Photographer

2011-12-01T08:26:00.003-06:00

Here are some favorites from a couple of recent headshots sessions. Kristin's was at the Minneapolis studio, and Justin's was in and around the History Theater in St. Paul. Love these shoots - enjoy. :)

Reception | Emily & Tony | Minneapolis Wedding Photography

2011-11-28T18:10:00.006-06:00

Emily & Tony were married on the East Coast, and then held a reception at the Hotel Sofitel in Bloomington for their family in Minnesota. It was so fun shooting candids and taking some creative portrait time around the hotel, all amidst a lovely gathering and during the first snowfall of the year.

Wirth Family | Minneapolis Portrait Photography

2011-11-23T13:53:00.005-06:00

Couple's Boudoir Session | Viewer be Advised | Minneapolis Boudoir Photography

2011-11-12T17:20:00.006-06:00

The long-awaited Couple's Boudoir session is finally viewable. The good folks at AVEX filmed and edited this shoot for the informational lauren b. photography video.

I love love love how the images turned out. A Couple's Boudoir session is a great addition to your engagement shoot or a fun anniversary celebration (rent a hotel room and make a night of it). ;) Love seeing two people truly happy together - and that really comes out in these tasteful, beautiful, sassy sessions!

Ginsburg Family | Minneapolis Portrait Photographer

2011-11-03T22:13:00.006-05:00

Fun story with this one... This totally fantastic couple - and their pooch - found me through another client. Our session started like any other. After doing the "get to know you" chat, we discovered that Laura and I went to middle school together. And not only that, we were friends and had lost touch when she moved. It was so cool to see her again - a mere...well, a handful of years later - and meet her husband and fabulous dog, Bella. Talk about a small world! I had a blast with these guys - and holy cuteness! :) Enjoy...

Oh, P.S. We did some headshots for Laura as well, hence the change of mood at the end there. :)

2011-11-03T10:11:00.002-05:00

10.15.11 Kate & Steve | St. Paul Wedding Photography

2011-11-03T09:37:00.009-05:00

Kate & Steve were married at The Church of St Cecilia in St. Paul with a reception at Midland Hills Country Club. What a fun couple. Super chill and awesome to photograph, I loved working with them for their spring E-Session and Autumn wedding (variety is the spice of life)!

In the first couple shots here, Kate surprised Steve with a watch at their first sight. (I love being in on the surprises!) :) Also, making note of their wedding date engraved inside Steve's ring - very cool! Oh, AND the so-stinking-cute ring bearer!

Thanks so much you two and a gigantic congratulations! :) Enjoy...

September Weddings | Minnesota Wedding Photographer

In September, I photographed two weddings for Bjorn Meisner Photography while he was with his wife and soon-to-arrive baby. Here's a sampling of mostly couple and detail shots.

Kristin & Grant's wedding was at Excelsior Covenant and Hazeltine National Golf Club, with the beautiful floral designs by Ashley Fox Designs. What a fun pair - so laid back, fun-loving, and super-cute. Love the running shots!

At Angie & Travis' wedding, I second shot with Jared Lee Photography at Oak Ridge Conference Center. A beautiful day, outdoor ceremony, and lovely reception. Awesome couple too of course! :)

2011-10-19T21:21:00.004-05:00

Amanda & Brian were so great to work with. We met at their session and cruised around Como Park on a beautiful fall day. So fun - thanks much you two. Enjoy!
