Stephanie + Aaron } Due 8.22.2011

Stephanie has been my best friend since grade school. We have been through all of life's biggest moments together. So to be able to take these wonderful "baby bump" photos was a complete honor for me. The day couldn't have been more perfect but we did have an umbrella ready just in case. Stephanie was glowing and her husband Aaron was a great sport and went along with everything without any complaining :) Congratulations to you both!!

Andrea + Will } Engagement Session

Stephanie's Baby Shower } Just the Ladies

I had such a great time hosting Stephanie's Baby shower for all of her close girlfriends. Stephanie was glowing and looked beautiful as always. It was such a wonderful day, the sun was shining and not too hot. We were ready for summer with cold Pink-Lemonade and Iced Coffee drinks in old-fashioned milk bottles with whimsical pink paper straws from Hey YoYo. All of the beautiful paper decorations were handmade by Jennifer Williams and matched Steph's nursey colors! So she can use them again to decorate Adelyn's room after the shower is over. The mini-cupcakes and petit fours were made at a local bakery in South Minneapolis, 3 tiers. Everything there is made from scratch and they serve the most delicious coffee! If you are ever out and about near Lake Nokomis this is a must stop!

Can't wait to meet this little lady in August! And Congrats to the other pregnant mom's at the shower too!

Easter 2011

The Easter Bunny picked the best day of the week. Sunday was glorious and made for a great Easter Egg hunt in our backyard. Both kids had a blast and not an egg was left behind.
