St. Cloud MN Photographer | 3 Kings

Last year I took my boys out to this same wildflower field. They whined, cried, and begged to leave, it was itchy and there were bugs. This year I devised a plan that would ensure a good time for them, and good/happy pictures for me. So I bought them wooden swords, felt crowns, and my mom sewed the adorable capes, and crowned them kings. They had so much fun!!! And I got some pictures that I will treasure forever. I am so sad that we are moving and I won’t be able to use this amazing field anymore, but I am so thrilled I got these pictures!

A special thanks to my husband for helping me with the shoot, and my mom for sewing the capes!

Project 52 | Photography St Cloud MN

Last year I attempted a project 365 and I made it about a third the way through it. This year I set a more realistic goal of taking a picture once a week. I knew I wanted the focus of my project to be pictures of my family. I want to be able to put all these pictures into a photo album for the boys to have some day.

If I can make it through this year, I am going to try to do it every year. I had grand plans of blogging these pics every week, but I am now just getting around to posting the last 13 weeks. Better late than never.

These are some of my all time favorite pictures of my older boys. The key to getting great pictures of them, is to engage them in an activity so they forget they are having their picture taken. I have decided from now on my boys must wear overalls at all time, isn’t it the cutest look ever for a little boy?!

This guy was there too, he just moves too fast!

My good friend and fellow photographer Elise and I took our kids out to attempt to take some pictures of them. We may or may not have bribed them with ice cream and Skittles.

Gainesville Photographer | Best of 2011

I can’t believe how fast 2011 went by! I also can’t believe how hard this post was to put together, I have so many favorites! I will be posting more on my Facebook page soon, I still have to blog some of these sessions.

Thank you SO much to those that have supported me along the way, my clients, fans, family, and friends. This dream would be nothing without all of you. I grew so much as a photographer and a business owner in 2011, I can’t wait to see what 2012 holds!
