Psalm 103:17 | Minneapolis St. Paul Photographer

But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children.

Ramblings | Minneapolis St. Paul Family Photographer

Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, be what you want to be, because we only have one life and one chance to do all the things we want to do here on this planet.

The time will come when we will depart but it will not be because of fleshly evils and nonsense of this world.

Because we have been given the mind of Christ which is a sound mine and we will live in perfect clarity.

We will depart one day because one of us has been called home.

And home we will go and there will we wait for each other doing good works for the Lord until the other is called home as well.

And forever more we shall rejoice in the Glory of the Lord and his goodness that through all things earthly and heavenly he has kept us together through all of time.

This is what God calls our family…his family.

God is Love.  Family is Love.

God is Love. Family is Love.

On The Hunt | Minneapolis St. Paul Photographer

My husband and I were driving home from our date night dinner and it was about 4:00 p.m. and there is a coyote standing in the middle of the fields by our house!  Now we know we have a pack of coyotes, we hear them every couple of nights on their “hunt”.  :-)  But we have never actually seen one out in the late afternoon.  Only once has my husband spotted one in the very early morning hours.  So this was a bit shocking.  Well we stop and look for a minute and then continue on to home.  We walk in our garage door and I start to tell my mother and our son about the coyote we just saw about a mile and down the road when all of a sudden our the corner of my eye I spy another one right across our yard on the other side of the road!!!!  So yes I start yelling LOOK LOOK!!!  Sure enough there was another one and this one was a bit smaller then the one we had just seen down the road.  They must have been hungry and out on a “hunt” for food!  So yes being who I am I grabbed my camera and snapped off a couple of shots.  As we watched the little coyote “hunt” around for food and then run off into the sunset with it’s pack mate, I began to think of what a wondrous beautiful world we live in.  And what a cool experience it was for us not to just tell our son about what we saw down the road, but actually have him see it as well!  We have one beautiful world and I am thankful I have a family that will stop and appreciate the beauty around us which God has created.  Thank you Lord for your glorious creations and for my amazing family!  :-)

Beautiful Baby Belly | Minneapolis St. Paul Maternity Photographer

What a gorgeous evening for a gorgeous mother and her maternity session.  :)  I got to photograph one of my very good girlfriend’s maternity photos tonight and it was such a pleasure!  Seriously J is one of the cutest pregnant ladies ever!  It’s obvious from these photographs you will see!  She is just radiating with that mommy to be glow.  We had so much fun walking around getting these shots.  And even went a little “off roading”  ;)  and almost got caught…although it would of been worth it for these shots!  LOL!   I can’t wait till little Miss. K is born!  She is going to be as darling as her mother and father.  And of course I can’t wait for our next Grow with Me Sessions!  Thank you for asking to me to photograph such special moments in your lives.  It is my honor!!!  :)  Love you guys!
