I think I might be in love with the Coleman family....honestly folks they are sweet, good looking on camera and oh-so-cute to one another. Amelia just turned one at the beginning of April; when Alicia first contacted me to do their family session she mentioned that they had been taking a photo of Amelia every day since she was born ANNNDD posting it on a blog. HOW COOL IS THAT? They not only take a photo every day but they share it with all their family and friends online. I hope that someday at Amelia's wedding or graduation party this little project comes out so that everyone can "ooooo" and "ahhhhh" about what an awesome story Neil and Alicia told of their little girls first year.
Now, on to some amazing photos of the family. Like I said...awesome family....giggles galore through the whole afternoon...

And how much do you LOOOOOVE this next photo?? Probably one of my faves because everyone is out-right laughing at Amelia and even she is laughing at herself.....
Another really cool thing is that on the exactly one year after she was born Amelia took her first steps......something for the scrapbook Mom!!!!! :)
Playing a little PEEK-A-BOO with the passing cars...
I absolutely LOOOOOVE these family photos! And the BEST PART is that I get to see them again in September for Alicia's sister's wedding....WIN for me!!! :)

So....for many of you that have been following this little sweetie as he is growing.....Max is already SIX MONTHS OLD! Man, does time fly (*and I am not even his Mommy.......ha!*). He is giggle, cute, chubby, and loooovesss his older brothers. They even stayed home from school because Max had to have some photos with his bro's for his baby book. :)
Don't you just adore this "mooooommmmmm, I HATE when this lady comes to take photos of me because aren't I cute enough just sitting here without you making me smile!!!" face????? I laughed out loud when he did this!

And don't you just looooove this one???
His hair is out of this world wild.....I sure hope that his future wife gets one of these framed someday! HA!
Although Max adores is older brothers, he was pretty uninterested in taking photos with them at the moment.....he was waaaayyy too cool for the camera by himself and then they come in and hog all the action. How dare they! :)

Max is already a STUD and I can't wait to see how much he has grown when I see him at the ONE YEAR mark! :)

Tira is amazing and Job is simply cool. Tira has endless, fabulous dreams that all boil down to the wonderful helping and caring nature that she has (although we did discuss in length as to how neither of us are nurturers to our husbands/soon-to-be-husbands when they are sick....eh!). And Job recently bought and now owns the wonderful Wheelhouse Cycles in Red Wing, MN....so if you are looking for anything bicycling...he is your man!
A brand new business that is quite awesome I might say, a women with dreams as high as the sky and 2 people wildly in love. Sounds like a good romantic comedy to me....eh???? Well we had a great afternoon together in Downtown Hudson while we chatted away about wedding plans and many other things. I am tell ya.....they are simply cool.......
(oh---and if you are wonderful why the heck Job's parents would name him Job....pronounced like "Honey, I'm home...I got a job today as a mailman!"...well, they didn't. His real name is actually Andrew, but since he looks so much like Odd-Job from the James Bond movies it quickly became his "name" to almost everyone!) Just a little tid-bit of info for you! :)

And I really like this one too.......seeeeeeeee??!!????......
Tira and Job are gigglie, hot, playful and MADLY in love. A perfect match right????? * Well I think so*
OH OH---and stay tuned for their August wedding...you never know what a bike shop owner will do at his own wedding???? :)

I think that I am quite possibly in love with these 2 because of how in love and awesome they are! I had a blast from the past when Shayna contacted me this past fall because I knew her a loooong time ago working together on TEC retreats....a looong time ago! Needless to say she contacted me and when we got together for coffee to catch up and chat about her wedding we ended up talking until wee hours of the night. Shayna and Joel both have incredible stories about where they are at today and how they got together----seriously if you have time and want a good tear to run down your cheek from how sweet they both are...call her!
They are probably some of the most caring and genuine people I have met and Shayna's giggle is simply contagious! And her laugh is stinkin cute on camera....

I am not quite sure what is going on here...she might just be making some googlie eyes at Joel!
I love you guys! Your June wedding is going to be soooo darn RAD!

A few weeks ago I spent the afternoon with this little bundle named Henry! Don't you just love that name, HENRY????? It was in the family and Mom, Holly, said they just HAD to use it and it fits this little man to-a-tea!!! Henry is the first in the house and his little nursery (which you will see in photos later on) is ABSOLUTELY awesome....looks like it could be straight out of a magazine it is so darn cute!
He is such a peanut and don't you just LOVE his wrinkly face???

Aren't his eyes just killer in this?????? I think this may be one of my faves....
You can just see the look on Holly's face.....she treasures this little boy!
When Henry was born instead of handing out cigars to celebrate with, Holly and Luke handed out O'Henry bars! Don't you LOVE that idea???
I can't wait to see you soon Henry!!!

On Saturday morning I woke up bright and early to spend some quality time with a little man that I sure hold dearly to my heart, Mr. Peyton. He was born one year ago on Good Friday and he is about a week away from his first celebration (and opening some darn good little-boy presents). His Mommy, daddy and I headed out to some good morning light in a nearby field and enjoyed every moment of it. Peyton's blue eyes, inquisitive look at the camera and easy-going nature make this little boy a DREAM to take photos of! I am tellin ya, as he gets older those big baby blue's are going to get him in trouble with the ladies.....(but I think Mom might already know that :)
My fave.....isn't this light just rad!!!????!!!
Mr. Grumpy face....
I *heart* this family photo!
He already looks like such an "old boy" since I last saw him at 6 months so I am eager to see his grown in this next year! Happy Birthday Mr. Peyton....I hope you get many trucks, trains and puppies at your birthday party! :)

Even though you are working with such an excellent subject, your photos make him look even better! Thanks for capturing Peyton's young years for us.
You do an excellent job. If anyone I know is looking for someone to take pictures, I will definitely recommend you!
