I love looking back at photos of my littles when they were teeny tiny.  And I  love pictures of them now, too.
We know you feel the same way, so we’ve collected a handful of our favorites from the Twin Cities to share them with you.

Helpful Tips in Choosing a Photographer

1. Look through different photographers’ portfolios  and decide your favorite styles.
   There is a plethora of techniques to choose from.  How do you want to remember your family?
2. Meet with your photographer before you schedule a photo shoot.
   Do your kids warm up to them quickly?  Do they communicate in understandable ways? Are you smiling when you leave?  Do you have a good feeling about this?
3. Use price as your final decision-maker, not your first.
   The prices are fairly comparable.  The more expensive packages include more in the session or in the package.
