Last Session of the Year! | On Location Portrait Sessions Minneapolis

This family scheduled my last session of the year with me at the new natural light studio. I was thrilled to see them again, their little girl is just a doll and so much fun to photograph! I was lucky that this is the 2nd time I have gotten the chance, she is stunning! Enjoy ~

Session in a Snowstorm | Natural Light Minneapolis Session

I was thrilled that having a natural light studio available meant not having to reschedule a session with these kids last week! A little snow wasn't stopping these gorgeous children (or their mom)! We had lots of fun, this little guy is a mover and a shaker! He is so fast and isn't even walking yet! Watch out mom! Enjoy~

My Little Model | Natural Light Studio Sessions

My daughter wanted to see my studio and get her portrait taken like all the other children....jealous? So the morning before we left to go out of town for Thanksgiving I tried to squeeze a session with her in at my natural light studio...her is a sneak peek from her latest session which will be used for our family holiday cards...Enjoy~

Beautiful New Babe | On Location Newborn Photography

I love photographing new babies! This was no exception, what a gorgeous little girl! She was on a growth spurt the day of her session, her parents couldn't believe how much milk she was drinking while I was there....and then the deep sleep with a full tummy...Enjoy~

Booked until February 2010!

Photography by Christine is currently booking sessions February 1 and later, unless you have a newborn on the way and have already been "penciled" in on my calendar, can't wait for those babies to arrive! Thanks for your support and interest! Christine

Happy Thanksgiving!

I have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, including my clients and business! Thanks for your continued support, referrals to others, and kind words about my work! I love to hear how much you love your portraits, how you open your package and get your portraits on the wall the same day (or even within the first hour after they arrive!) and how you passed my card along to your neighbor, friend, aquaintance. You guys rock!

I wish you all a happy and healthy Thanksgiving! Safe travels to you and your family this weekend! Have a blessed holiday! Christine

An Active Outdoor Couple | Blaine On Location Photography

This couple does it all--hike, bike, ski, snowshoe, the list goes on...and their dog Calli is as active as they are! We had a fun session this past weekend at their local stomping grounds on what is probably our last gorgeous November weekend! Enjoy~

Now at 9 Months! | Natural Light Studio Session

I had the privilege of photographing this handsome little guy at 6 months at his gorgeous home and now at 9 months at the studio! He has gotten so much bigger, but still maintains his happy, easy going attitude! He is a joy and oh so handsome, lots of fun to photograph! Enjoy~

A Gorgeous Family! | Lino Lakes Photographer

I have been friends with this family for years! We met when our girls were in a baby playgroup together, they are now 5 years old and in kindergarten! The girls still get together on a regular basis to play, create and be kids! Enjoy~

Highlights from the Edelweiss Baby Mini Sessions!

The Edelweiss Baby Mini Sessions, held earlier this month, were a lot of fun! It was busy, but I really LOVE to photograph children! With almost 30 sessions, and about 50 kids over the course of two days, I left the store enthusiast and excited! I enjoy all aspects of kids personality--yes--even when they are a little naughty--I can usually capture some fun expressions! There are so many favorites I can't share them all, here are just a few from the sessions...

Some Test Sessions From My New Natural Light Studio

I am looking forward to having an indoor natural light option for sessions over the winter for clients! The new studio is located in Minneapolis in the area of 94 and Broadway, just minutes from downtown. Lots of different looks available with the wood floors, exposed brick walls, wood posts, and various white, grey and black backdrops as well!

Here is a little sneak peek of some portraits from the test sessions, aren't these models gorgeous?

Another Portrait Selected as a Finalist!

I am so thrilled to have my second portrait selected as a Finalist in the BetterPhoto October contest! This portrait titled "Joy" includes an up and coming photographer friend of mine and her gorgeous new baby girl! This was one of my favorites from their session!

You can check out the Finalist at:
