a little love…

eydie nelson — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 02:22:14 +0000

i love valentine’s day…and, i love making tiny little bits of love to share. i know the holiday has become too commercialized, but i still love it. maybe it is the child in me remembering how special the day was. a party at school and a bag filled with love…candy and cards from our special friends. as a grown up, i love the beautiful colors, the sayings of love, giving to others, and the feeling that spring is just around the corner. one of my new year’s resolutions for 2012 is to get back into doing the things i really, really love…things i used to do before i had little ones and life got so busy. and, this would mean actually blocking out time on my calendar to do these types of things. as i sat and made homemade valentines for max and grace’s classes i felt a bit guilty…”i have so many things i really “need” to be doing right now,” i thought. but, then they were done and i looked down at them and my heart smiled. my kids will surely not appreciate these the way i do and that is okay. because we moms don’t take enough time for ourselves…doing things that make us feel warm inside. this is the nature of a mother, but i have come to realize that i need to nourish my own heart too even if this means cutting out heart shaped papers and tying a pretty ribbon on top.:) because i love doing these types of things…happy valentine’s day everyone. nourish your heart today and count all of the blessings of love in your life.

anna contacted me well over a year ago to inquire about a photography session for their baby that would be coming home from columbia. i was thrilled they would consider me this far in advance for their sweet baby that was not yet born…i could hear the excitement in anna’s email words and as i read i wanted to jump through the computer screen and hug her with my excitement for her and brandon. they patiently waited and waited and received word on july 1, 2011 that their sweet daniela was awaiting her mom and dad’s arms to be swept into…it was a joy to photograph this perfect little angel recently. sweet daniela, i am so happy you are home safe and sound and in the loving arms of your mom and dad…what a beautiful family you are.

kisses from pup-a-rooooo sally!

this will be the first of two extra special posts for me. ironically, both of my neighbors who live directly across the street, welcomed their first grandbabies within days of one another. so, clearly something was in the water wells on nebraska avenue last winter.:) below is baby callum…such a sweet pea. he was an angel for our shoot. congratulations mel and dom…he is so beautiful. and, a special shout out to grandpa mike and grandma julie…so happy for you both, too. baby callum is one lucky little baby boy…i am happy that i will get to watch him grow for years to come.

miss harper…

such a fun afternoon i spent with miss harper and her family…what a little sweetness. i loved how harper’s mommy wanted to try all kinds of fun and creative ideas with her little girl. i think harper enjoyed herself and especially the end of her session. as you will see, she thoroughly enjoyed her beautiful birthday cupcake. she was not happy when we wouldn’t let her eat the entire thing. happy first birthday, harper…you are lovely and so is your family!

will, michael & sweet kate…

adorable children…so sweet and well mannered. such a beautiful location for photos…we had so much fun! i love when i get the opportunity to photograph children that are a little older. they are full of stories and questions and wonder. love that. and, you can usually learn a great deal from kids…like don’t put silly putty in your pants pocket! ha! :) thank you sarah and bret for trusting me with your kiddos! more photos to come soon!

amazing…jinky art and montana…

i cannot believe it has already been two weeks since i traveled to the beautiful state of montana to meet barb uil of jinky art . my experience can only be described with one word..amazing. it was a chance of a lifetime to be educated by barb…she has a talent that is admired worldwide. our home for two days was the most wonderful family ranch just outside of hamilton, montana. it truly was beauty beyond belief and a photographer’s dream…literally. a beautiful farm house situated at the foot of the mountains…i felt like i was sitting in the midst of country living magazine. and, the light…the light at dusk was breathtaking and to us photographers light is everything. for two days barb inspired the 12 of us who were there…we laughed, listened, learned and photographed the most adorable children. i loved every minute of my time there…and, left with a spinning mind of ideas and excitement to get back to my clients in minnesota.

please take some time to go look at barb’s work…she will draw you in with her lovely, whimsical, soulful photography. meeting barb was an experience i will cherish forever…she has changed the way i look at my business and for that i will forever be grateful. jinky art blog

and, below are a few of the little lovelies i had the opportunity to photograph…these were a few of my favorites.
