derek, kimi, & connor

I met up with the Coulson crew last week at the Rose gardens in Uptown for a family portrait/Connor session! What a hoot Connor is at this age! He is an adorable young man! I am now fully aware that ninja turtles are back in full force, so you better watch out! Good to know!
Who would of thought back in high school we would be meeting up for your family photo sessions! Wow, how things change, but now that I say that things actually stay the same too! You two haven't changed a bit and it was awesome to laugh and chat with you again. Let's not make it so long in between visits next time!
Hope you like your sneak treat! The rest of the images will be up on Pictage.com very soon. Happy day, Em

schutter family

Thanks again Janice, Scott, Ryan, and Claire for our second year of photos together. We met out at the Minnesota arboretum which was beautiful. They do a great job out there keeping the grounds looking amazing.
Wow, Ryan has sure grown since last year and what a great big brother he has become in such a short time.
And Claire is beautiful. What a blessing to have such a relaxed and lovely baby. It was awesome to meet her in person finally!
Thanks again for the great time. It was awesome to see you guys again and to capture the changes that have been happening in your family. All the best to you all, Em

charlie & anna

Oh no ... It's my favorite twins again, Charlie and Anna. I can't believe how big they are getting. Two years old came way to quickly, but I do enjoy the jabber and banter that they are providing now with their age. Their chit chat is extremely entertaining, and my personal favorite is the new pronouncement of my name, "Emodee!" Love it!
Jon and Kim, you made some great looking kids! They are a joy to be around, and you two aren't too bad yourselves! Thanks for the great morning. Love you, Em

chessie

Here are a few of my favorites from Chessie's senior photo session. Girlfriend, you are beautiful and I was thrilled to hear all about your senior year. You are going to have a great time! My only concern is that you are going to need a big bat to ward off all the boys knocking at your door! Have an awesome senior year and have a great rest of the summer.















Sister love below!
Chessie actaully let her sister join us on the shoot! I was way too stupid to ever let my sister join me with this kind of thing in high school. I'm envious that you two already have a great relationship at a young age. I wasted some years when I was your age being lame to Megan. Oh how we learn!

hal & joan, 50th wedding anniversary

Huge cheers to my Uncle Hal and Aunt Joan for their accomplishment of 50 year of marriage together. WOW, I'm so impressed! You guys are a great example of strength, courage, and love. Thank you for that! Here is their family together to celebrate them! It was so great to see everyone together. Thank you for the great party.
Love you, Em

the diedrich family

I was fortunate enough to be able to meet with Diedrich family at Iverson park a few weeks ago. Thank you to Chris and Jennifer for taking the time to let me capture your beautiful family for you. Chris, safe travels and work to you over the next year. Thank you for serving our country. Gob Bless you and your family. Em
