Elmhorst Family

who doesn't love babies??? I mean really what is better than a sweet cuddly newborn baby? today I'll be doing posts for all the little kiddies I did this winter. they are long over due and I can't wait to make you all overdose on cuteness :)

I'm so glad I got the chance to take pictures of this adorable family! I mean s'riously! they are just too cute for words! and oh so sweet! Mat and Jenny were so laid back and I barely had to direct them at all! and their kids? oh em gee! Helena is simply a gorgeous little girl and I almost kidnapped their brand new son Solly :)

Scottie's Senior Session

I have known Scottie my whole life. Like... my whole life. Our moms were friends and our grandmas too. it's kind of hard to believe that Scottie is a senior this year! We had so much fun the day we took his senior pictures. Even if we almost got into a car accident and there just happened to be a blizzard getting in our way. Scottie kept me laughing the entire time and he is definitely a natural in front of the camera I barely had to direct him!














Scott- You have truly become an amazing young man. you are so funny and one of the sweetest guys I know. good luck next year! I know you will go far with whatever you decide to do!

Brittney and Jace-Styling Your Shoot

Jace and I went to school together and even though Brittney and I haven't spent much time together I feel like we are old friends. I gave away a shoot a while back on my facebook page and boy am I glad these two won! :) they braved the cold and rocked out this session like no one else could! part of the reason their pictures turned out so well is because Brittney and I took the time to talk a little bit and plan, so Hannah and I could style the shoot. Brittney and Jace love being outside and reading so we incorporated that into the session. Jace even found us an awesome location.
Seriously, if you haven't thought about styling your sessions you really should. please please please people! do something that tells a story and makes your pictures personal.
now styling your shoot is not a necessity buuut if you do it you will get pictures like this
