this sweet, little mimi bird hopped into my life a few years back. when my little girl started talking, she called everything "mimi." she chirped "mimi" all the time. and, from that time on, we called her our little mimi bird. during this time, i was at a local boutique and stumbled upon the most fitting little piece of art. on the picture was a very sweet, chunky, little bird and the title was "mimi bird." i of course had to have it...it seemed as if it was made for us and still hangs in our home today. my very own little mimi bird, grace, who is my older baby, is the one who made me fall in love with the camera. and, it is this little bird that will be a constant reminder of the inspiration that makes me so very happy when taking photographs.

yes, i know you want to squeeze them both.  two little angels.  otto was in dreamland for all of our shoot and max was the most well behaved “almost” two year old i have ever taken photos of.  he listened and snuggled for minutes with his new baby brother.  i am in love with the photo of max and otto…these little moments are very special.  to the c. family:  thank you for allowing me so much time with your family.  it was so nice to meet you all.  congratulations on your new little sweet pea.

oh, and a little side note on the last two photos.  we ended our photo shoot at a local boutique in the adorable linden hills neighborhood of minneapolis. OSCAR & BELLE is in my opinion the cutest baby boutique in twin cities.  the store itself has so much charm and all of the items inside of it are fabulous. and, miss anna, the owner of O&B, is not only the owner, but the designer too.  she is beyond talented…really.  All of Oscar & Belles’s organic baby products are SKAL or Oeko Tex 100 Certified Organic Cotton, grown without any synthetic fertilizers, toxins, or pesticides. Also, each organic baby and children’s item in our store is produced and manufactured without any harsh dyes, chemical bleaches, and is made strictly to ensure no chemical or metal contaminants come near your child. It doesn’t get any better than that does it?  If you have not visited this wonderful boutique, make sure you do so because i promise you that you will not want to leave.  :)  a special thanks to anna gustafson for allowing us to photography baby otto in your beautiful store.ezzabdczf

remember this sweet pea?  beautiful marlowe paige.   she is 6 months now and ever so sweet.  she had so many adorable faces to give me. little m. was not really into sitting on the day of her photos… most 6 month-ers just want to plop down and sit.  miss marlowe really just wanted to stand up and had lock leg in her chubby, yummy legs.  :) it took some real effort on her sweet mommy’s part to get those legs to loosen up and sit.  she sure made me laugh.  thanks, lisa…she is adorable.  it was so fun to see you again.zpeekabetilted-head

ahhhhh a new year is here again.  it does not quite seem possible to me!  i always love the beginning of a new year…a fresh start to everything. i am very excited to be back to work after some nice time off!  i spent lots of time snuggling with my family, catching up on my favorite tv shows and going to bed early…something that is unheard of during the busy fall/holiday photography season.

today it is raining (yes raining), cold and dark here in MN and after two cancelled shoots today due to bad lighting, i have officially decided that i REALLY want an all window, natural light studio!  :)  :)  i will keep dreaming because it would be so wonderful!

in the next few weeks, you will see some big changes to my blog and branding!  jane johnson, who is wonderful i might add, has been working on my new branding for awhile now.  we are getting close and i love every bit of it!

earlier this month, i was one of 13 very lucky photographers who attended a two-day newborn workshop.  it truly was an wonderful opportunity!  i left feeling overwhelmed with valuable information…what a great feeling!  we were able to learn on 8 brand new, teeny, perfect little ones.  here are a few of my favorites…baby fever city.  kelleykelley7kelleyzzzkelly2kelleyx

my grace is 4 today and  i am filled with emotion.  i am sad that 4 years could go by so quickly, but excited to see what each new year will bring for her.  my heart bursts with feelings of proudness when i look at her and she is only 4.  i could of course go on and on because i am so in love with this little girl, but i end by saying how lucky i feel to have been given this perfect little being four years ago today.  we were filled with amazement when we looked into her teeny little eyes and i am still filled with amazement every time i look at her. happy birthday my sweet grace. i love you with alllll of my heart.
