Self portrait outtake | White Bear Lake family photographer

I was going through some photos to edit, and ran across this funny outtake of my daughter. I forgot what she was talking about during this portion of the shoot, but doesn’t she look like she’s saying, “YESSSS!!” or something? Hilarious. Love that girl!

3 months! | White Bear Lake baby photographer

I love babies. I love photographing babies. I love it that I meet the coolest people while I’m doing something I love. And this session wrapped up all those wonderful things into one pretty little package.

Meet “B” – isn’t she adorable? Seriously one of the most laid back babies out there – and STRONG! She was literally bearing down on her legs and wanting to stand (with some help, of course – but she’s only 3 months!!!). And, the momma and I had a great talk about her labor & delivery. I love meeting fellow water-birth mommas – she had such a great birth story.

Enough of my ramblings – Check out some pics of this cutie pie.

(and aside from her chubby cuteness – isn’t her hair awesome?!) So, so, so cute!

Thank you so much for contacting me to do “B’s” pictures! It was so great meeting you three!!

  1. Lila says:

    What a cute, happy baby!! I adore these, they’re so much fun!

  2. Leanne says:

    She is gorgeous. I love all her expressions.

  3. Joan says:

    You can really see her happiness in these pictures. Great job capturing that

  4. Liz says:

    Oh I love new smiles! Gorgeous little lady!

  5. Katherine says:

    What a cutie pie! I especially love the image with the pink bow.

  6. Jeni says:

    Oh what a sweetheart! I love the last ones of her on the blanket with that cute headband. You caught some adorable expressions!

  7. Lynn says:

    How happy she looks! She’s a gorgeous little girl. Great pictures.

  8. Amanda says:

    What a cutie pie. I love the ones with mom and dad.

Belly love | White Bear Lake Maternity Photographer

I was so so so happy to hear that my friends were expecting – and so honored that they asked me to capture this amazing stage in their lives. Kristie always looks awesome, but I thought she had a particular glow about her during our session. If you think about it – how neat and crazy is the miracle of pregnancy and childbirth?! I’m more and more amazed with each client I am fortunate enough to work with. I can’t wait to photograph their sweet little baby (who is due very soon!!).

Here are some of her photos – isn’t she breathtaking?

(how cool is the shot above? They had a digital copy of their baby so they used their iPad!)

 

I’m so excited for you two!!! I can’t wait to get that text or phone call to hear about the birth of your babe. :)

  1. Amanda says:

    What a great session! They looks so happy.

  2. Leanne says:

    Just gorgeous. I love that first image.

  3. Liz says:

    What a gorgeous mama to be! Love the light in the first one!!

  4. Katherine says:

    She looks absolutely beautiful, and I especially love that first one. What pretty light!

  5. Jeni says:

    What a gorgeous mama to be! I love the lighting in that first one.

  6. Lynn says:

    These are beautiful. I love the soft light in the first one. And what a great idea with the iPad picture of the scan image!

School portraits | White Bear Lake children’s photographer

This little sweetie’s mom contacted me to redo her school portraits. How many of you parents have received your kids’ school pics back, and have needed a retake? I’m sure LOTS of you have experienced that! I know we have. So I was super happy to get some shots of this little girl. It’s been awesome being able to watch her grow up, as I’ve taken their pictures several times now, and the kids (and parents) have always been completely amazing. I love these people! Make sure to check out the mom’s business as well – she is an amazing chiropractor, with a special gift with maternity clients and children. Check out Oak Springs Chiropractic to learn more information. Without much further ado, here are a few pictures!

  1. Katherine says:

    Beautiful pictures! I especially love the first one where she’s framed in the window!

  2. Alexis says:

    I love the wintry feel of these and she is adorable! Great lighting:)

  3. She is adorable! These are way more fun than any school photos could ever be – great work, Jules!

  4. Emily says:

    What fun school portraits! Love the window!

  5. Jennifer B says:

    These are incredible! She looks like such a sweetheart and I ADORE that first capture. I’m sure you blew the school photos out of the water!

  6. Megan says:

    What a pretty girl. I really love that first image!

  7. Evelyn says:

    So simply gorgeous!! I love them!

  8. Beautiful photos. She is so sweet. I love the one of her up in the window.

  9. what a beautiful girl, her smile is so open and radiant and a little bit cheeky :-)
    Love that first image in the window!

  10. Shawna says:

    These are fabulous! What a beautiful little girl and you captured her fun spirit!

Holiday portraits | White Bear Lake Family Photographer

I’d nearly given up on doing my own family’s portraits this year for our Holiday cards. We’d set up literally three occasions to do them, and then one thing or another would happen and we were out of luck.

And then the leaves stuck around longer than anticipated, and the weather cooperated well past the time it should have … and voila! We had our date. So picture my husband setting up the pose with my kids, with me about 30 yards away getting the camera all set up. Then, I’d hit the self-timer button and literally sprint wildly towards my family (which my children thought to be hilarious and would start sprinting towards me :)), scoop up my kids, get into position and try to talk them into looking towards the camera, and smile. Walk 30 yards back to said camera on tripod. Repeat. I’m not sure how many times this happened til we got our picture, but it actually was a blast. And then we went out to celebrate our success at Nacho Mamas for a margarita for the adults, and quesadillas for the kiddos. Score!

Here are some of the pics.

(my husband is awesome – this was totally spontaneous!)

 

And I’ll have to upload the individual pics of my kiddos later. This will have to do for now!

Have a great day!
