Papia Family {Family Photographer, Lakeville, MN}

To say that this family is special to me would be an understatement. Meet Jessie and her sweet family; her husband Jimmy and their son Jimmy. They are dear friends of my husband and I, and their son is going to marry our daughter "one day."

I was so excited to get to spend last weekend with them in their new home and get to take some time to shoot their family. I took their engagement pictures almost three years ago, and it's always so awesome to be included in some of their most treasured times now as a family. They are a beautiful family to photograph together, and their son is so sweet.

I even got to share in some exciting news, but I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Enjoy your preview guys, thanks for letting me be apart of your day!

Have I ever told you that I am really good at keeping a secret? Well, I'm like Fort Knox! I've known about this wonderful news from the beginning, and when I knew I'd get the chance to take pictures of this sweet family I started dreaming up creative ideas to help them share the news with everyone.

Congrats to the Papia Family on their news about baby #2! Little Jimmy is going to be the best big brother ever! I can't wait to hear if my daughter will have a best girl friend or not!

Love you guys!

What to Wear To A Photo Shoot: Summer Edition

Hello Friends!

It's been a while since I shared with you outfit inspiration for your shoots! This time we're talking summer which means pool days, BBQs, and hot days! When I think of summer I think bright colors, lots of accessories and fun family photos.

Once again everything is affordable for your family, I choose looks from some of my fave stores. Styling shoots is one of my fave things to do. You could jazz up your summer shoot with fun parasols, a picnic blanket under a tree with your family, or what I'm dying to do is hang tissue paper pom poms from a big tree!

Who's up for that?
