It was a marvelous afternoon in September to capture images of a young boy for his first birthday, along with a fun family photo session. I hadn't seen Trisha and Jon in a while, so meeting up with them again was great - plus I hadn't seen the birthday boy since I took his newborn photos! It was wonderful catching up with this growing family and great friends!

Summertime in Minnesota is usually pretty predictable: Hot and humid most days! And the day we took photos of Brian and Julie and their darling little girl for her 2nd birthday photo session - was exactly that. It was very warm and muggy for this morning shoot, but that did not stop Katelyn from smiling and enjoying the day in her pretty blue dress(es)!
