Mason & Owen {1 year}

Double everything!!!  I don't know how they do it but Kyle and Katie do it so well... they are such kind, loving, calm and patient parents!   Oh and the boys... are simply adorable!  I have had the pleasure of taking their pictures for just over a year now and it has been so fun watching them grow up from the squeeky little newborns to walking tots, wow!

I shot and posted their 1st birthday party a few weeks ago and decided we needed  a few more of  "just them" so we met at a park and played!

It is so fun to see how their little personalities and how they do differ from each other.

Grandma showed up at the park and this was the greeting Mason gave her... little heartbreaker!

Sweets for the sweet!

Daddy's boy Ü

I think the MN Twins should keep their eye on this one... this boy has got some moves!!

And to finish off a fun evening... Ü

Thank you Kyle, Katie, Mason and Owen!

Thank you to Dan Buettner for asking me to second shoot and congratulations Olaf and Christy and hope you have a wonderful and relaxing honeymoon on your Carribean cruise Ü

Sweet Baby L {newborn}

When I walked through the door and saw this little angel for the first time in her Mommy's arms I just about lost it.  Such a beautiful picture... a new Mom with a precious new little bundle and a Dad glowing proudly behind.

8 days old and oh so precious!

Such a beautiful, new little family of three.

Congratulations and thanks so much M & J for letting me document this special time in your life! You are so blessed!

Jason♥Amy partIII {wedding}

Right after a marriage ceremony has got to be one of  my most favorite moments.  I love when we can wisk a new husband and wife away for a few moments together alone.  These two were so giddy and cute!
Just look at the joy in Amy's laugh here...










Such a beautiful happy couple.


Now for some details. Loved the purple!


And then the reception.




Congrats Jason and Amy and I wish you the best in your new journey ahead, just keep laughing!

Jason♥Amy partII {wedding}

Well the rain threatened and it even started spitting a few times but no rain on our parade... or Jason and Amy's day I should say Ü  They chose not to see each other before hand so we (Dan Buettner and I) shot the gals and guys separately before the ceremony.




Amy looked so beautiful!


A beautiful pose set up by Dan in the library.


In the totally victorian "bridal suite" bathroom. Yes the gals on the left are actually in the bath tub!Ü


The groom and groomsmen/women...


The handsome groom (I think he looks like Adam Sandler).


It was a very cool day but boy did the sun ever make an amazing and perfectly timed appearance for the ceremony. Gorgeous lighting in the backyard of the St Paul College Club!

Sigh... I love this shot of Amy and her Dad before he walked her down the aisle Ü










The new Mr & Mrs Ü




Check back for the reception and details tomorrow Ü
