lovely fall, lovely family…
the metz family is a long time client of mine…sara, who is the mom of this wonderful family is someone i admire so much. she always walks with a calmness that just eases those around her. she has become a dear friend to me and i am always in envy when i go into her family’s home. she has photos of her sweet family everywhere you turn. she always has a plan in mind of what she wants to do with her memories…i wish some of her creative juices would rub off on me in my own home.:) i actually just took photos of this family a few weeks ago. but, for this shoot, sara wanted a completely non staged session. just life as it is. so, that is what we did…i snapped away without telling her family to look at me. it is a joy to watch families interact, being themselves and love each other like i was not even there. here are a few of my favorites…
little love tanner…

my sweet loves…
i vowed to myself this year i would be better about doing a few regular photography sessions with my own children. a real photography session, where i plan a special little spot to go, dress up and capture a few memories we will cherish forever and always. and, so this is the first of 2011…and, even though it was 100 degrees, we went, and played in a beautiful minnesota field. this is my dream spot for photos…so pretty, full of color and texture. timeless simplicity. i was worried the bugs might eat us alive, but it was even too hot for them to come out and play. ha!
and, finally the best part of the evening…our reward of ice cream at the lake. and, a little time in the lake too.
and, one final photo that i took recently of my little guys…
