Maddie - Maternity Photoshoot

Meet my sweet sister, Maddie! She has gifted me the cutest two nephews on the planet. I know I’m biased, but I swear it’s true. Auntie is my favorite role to play for now, so in return for my nephews, I gave her a maternity session.  Totally even.

 So here we are, in Florida, taking her maternity photos in the ocean. We took them near dusk at a resort in Key Largo. Why? Because she moved to Florida, and I (sigh) have to travel to the warmth to go visit. Jk. I don’t prefer Minnesota winters. Unfortunately. Anyways…

I love that I was able to capture such a beautiful time in my sister’s life. Pregnancy is hard, and all you mama’s out there are walking boss b’s. Maternity photos may seem daunting, but capturing the miracle process of growing a freaking human in your body is… worth capturing. (Well maybe if you put it that way…) YES. Exactly. I vow to make you feel confident in your own skin, and communicate with you throughout the entire process to make sure we get you the photos you’re envisioning. These photos will be a treasure to look back on, I can promise that.

Bartolucci - Family Photoshoot

This family photography session was one of the most fun and spontaneous sessions I’ve done. While in Florida for my dad’s 50th birthday, I met this amazing family at the community pool. My family and I are chatty… especially on vacation  So we struck up a conversation with them (their kids were literally the cutest things with such personality) and by the end of it, decided that I would be their family photographer for the day

Later that night, we did tons of beautiful ocean family photos, and their kids cooperated… mostly (normal);) and when they didn’t, I was able to capture adorable photos of them doing their own thing! That’s the biggest tip for family photographers who are taking photos of the kids—let them wander sometimes and play with one another-- knowing you will get what you need!

Needless to say, I delivered their family photography session gallery I think the next day because I was so excited. They were happy clients, and happy clients = happy photographer  I am a Minnesota based family photographer, but I LOVE to travel. If you have come across my page, know that I am SO willing to travel to surrounding states for your family session for a fixed rate!
