Kingston was a happy little guy, and on the verge of crawling. This age is a lot of fun, because the baby’s personality starts to really emerge and they start coming up with creative ways to get to where they want to go. Kingston wasn’t crawling forward, but he’s pretty good at pushing himself backwards.
I photographed Kaitlyn in her home, and as soon as I walked in the door she was full of smiles. She has such lovely blue eyes… so much fun to photograph!
This last weekend we photographed sessions at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis to raise money for Haiti (February 13th and 14th). After all is said and done, we anticipate money raised to be between $2,000 and $3,000. Thanks so much to everyone who booked a session! Check out the organization that the proceeds will go to: http://www.worldvision.org.
Here is a sneak peek for the first day we photographed… we’ll be posting another blog post for Day 2 soon:
Aiden was smiling from the moment I got to his home… what a lovely little boy! He was a delight to photograph!
Haiti has been on my mind lately. I watch news coverage in the middle of the night while I feed little Jude. It hurts my heart to see people in such need.
The other night after a particularly long feeding, and after watching some of the coverage, I laid Jude back into his crib, crawled into bed and said a prayer for the people of Haiti. And then it struck me. Here I was, snuggling into my nice warm bed, my husband beside me. Our new baby was safe in a crib just an arm’s reach away. Our 2 and 4 year old were sleeping peacefully in the room next to us. I had just chugged a huge glass of clean, fresh water.
I started to think about how lucky I am. How small the worries in my life really are, compared to the worries that the Haitian people are facing. They are facing such heavy worries right this very minute. Not knowing where to go. Where to sleep. Where they will get their next meal. Where their families are. They estimate that there are now around 1 million orphans in Haiti. Wow.
We want to do something.
And that’s where you come in.
On February 13th and 14th, 2010 we will be holding photo sessions all day to raise money for the people of Haiti.

Sam was amazing to photograph… he slept so well and let me move him around wherever I needed him to be, and when he woke up he was so content. Congrats you guys! He’s so lovely!
Sam was such a smiley baby, and so fun to photograph. His big blue eyes are just incredible!
So, we’re finally getting back into blogging mode. Getting to know our little one and getting used to being a family of 5 has been so great. We’ve taken some time to do that, with a few photo sessions here and there. We appreciate all of your patience and support as we’ve made this transition and your continuing support as we get back into the swing of things!
We put together a few of our favorite photos from sessions we’ve done since our blogging hiatus. This post is a range of baby, family, engagement and kid sessions.
Happy 2010!
It’s been quite some time since our last blog post… having a baby will do that to you! We are having so much fun adjusting to being a family of 5.
Jude Arthur Ryan made his way into the world on Wednesday, November 25th at 4:01 a.m. He weighed in at a robust 9 lbs, 6 3/4 oz. and measured 21 inches long.
We photographed Mr. Jude over the course of a couple days. It is, after all, a bit of a challenge being mommy and daddy and the photographers at the same time. We had so much fun, and I think his brothers did too!
A few more shots of his proud big brothers:
I photographed the Servais family in a family back yard in South St. Paul. The session was full of great fun! One of the really unique things about this shoot was that I was able to photograph 6 month old Ella sleeping in the same basket I photographed her in when she was a newborn. So sweet!
