Maxwell

Maxwell is such a sweet baby who recently turned one. He has this adorable pout to his lips so even when he isn't smiling he has this priceless expression and it was so much fun to chase him around and capture his personality. I work with his mom. Alison and Jake have a home that seems like it has been torn out of a magazine. They love the boating/sailing theme and Max's dad built him his own sailboat. See for yourself...

Maria is going to be a mom!

My friend Maria and her husband DeLonn are expecting their first child at the end of August. They know they are having a girl and they are pretty sure they will name her Ella. It was an eventful photo shoot in downtown Wayzata. Right away Maria locked her keys...and all of her outfit changes in her car. They tried using a coat hanger, a concerned passerby even helped. I ended up calling AAA and they saved the day. Here are some fun ones from the evening.

Aly's Senior Prom

My aunt asked me if I would take pictures of my cousin Aly before they went to prom. Aly and I had picked out her prom shoes together so I was thrilled to get to see her all dolled up. Wow! She is so breathtaking! (See her senior photos in an earlier post). It was fun to be around all these teenagers, brought back memories...

This is why I haven't blogged since March!

April was busy but when May arrived I knew it would be a whirlwind. I am behind on blog posts and will catch up now that summer break has begun! I had a blast these past few weeks with family and friends, weddings, bachelorette parties, showers, and work related fun and more. I am blessed to live such an eventful life with so many people I love! Here are a few casual snapshots of my May.

Kenna!

Kenna's 1 year young photo shoot and cake smash was a blast. She was in such good spirits despite the intense humidity. The most challenging part for me was trying not to shake as I was laughing and taking her pictures as she destroyed her cake. What a cutie!
