I AM still here.


Just wanted everyone to know I am still here.

Fall has really kicked my fanny (for many reasons) this year and I haven't had a ton of time to keep up on this thing called my photography blog. I promise in the next few weeks as my {crazy} busy season winds down, I will catch everyone up on the over 50 beautiful families, seniors, babies, products, etc. I have photographed this fall.

Until then keep in touch and enjoy the beautiful weather we are having, unfortunately it is coming to an end. For me, that means snow and hockey rinks are in my future... how about you?

A Special Day | Minneapolis Wedding Photographer

Wedding photography is not exactly on my long list of sessions I normally shoot. But this wedding was small and intimate, I felt I could tackle it. I truly felt privileged to be part of their special day.

The Sweetest Siblings | Minneapolis Children's Photographer

Every time I have these two cuties on my schedule, I get so excited. I don't know any other brother and sister duo that get a long so well and "work the camera" the way they do. I just let them do what they do, with little direction and I always get AWESOME photos that capture their personalities. Thanks for making the trek to see me guys. xo Paula

The Crazy "O" Family | Minneapolis Family Photographer

I've known this adorable family for awhile now, I think since little Miss Sass-a-frass was about 18 months old. She is sure full of spunk and I LOVE it — love capturing her spunky personality. Little Mr. "A" and Mom and Dad are quite the riots too.

My Trio | Victoria Children's Photographer

Back in May I found this MAGICAL spot down the road from my house, I knew it would have beautiful lighting as the sun began to set. So one evening my friend, Jenay (www.jumpphotos.net) and I had an impromptu session with our kids. Here are some of the images we took of my three. They actually cooperated (no fighting, no yelling, limited stress on my end) for us, and I was thrilled. I just don't get time to take picture of my own kids. LOVE THEM!

One of my FAVORITE Families | Minneapolis Family Photographer

I spent a lot of time with this family growing up, Christin and I were partners in crime in Middle School and through High School. I was so excited to take their photos now that their family has grown so much.

We dodged rain down in Chaska, but had a great time. Thanks Schumann's, Thurston's and Benson's!

It was quite appropriate that we found a hockey net outside to take photos with.... they are both hockey players. Lucas is an AWESOME defenseman (my son Nik's defensive mate from last season) and Zach a goalie.

Springtime in the Greenhouse | Minneapolis Family Photographer

This was such a great session. Mainly because this family is so sweet and Mr. B is so easy to photograph. But shooting in the greenhouse was SO MUCH FUN! Thanks Z's for coming out to see me.
