In addition to the mini shoot, each girl will enjoy a craft, activity, and treats (treats for moms too!).

{you may arrive anytime within your time slot and leave once you're done enjoying the girl time} :)

Outdoor Urban Family Session {family portraits Saint Paul}

I've been expanding more and more of my work to the urban streets of Saint Paul, and this shoot (which so happens to be of my sister, brother-in-law & newphew Stryker at 18m old) is a great example of the fun that can be had in an urban setting, whether it be for kids, high school seniors, or a family shoot. Shot around the Selby/Dale are, the quaint streets and boutique-filled buildings made for some great backdrops (not to mention running-strips for energetic Styker, who never seems to quit). :)
Find a whole lot MORE of this shoot on FACEBOOK! Search for "Feather Blue Studios" and check out 30 images from this shoot, enough to give you a feel of what the results of a whole shoot would look like. Don't forget to BECOME A FAN while you're there, and keep up on the latest news, events, and deals that we're offering here at the studio.

Maternity Portrait Art - {Twin Cities Maternity Photography}

While I tend to put more time into marketing "baby" sessions rather than "belly" shoots, I do offer maternity photography here at Feather Blue Studios and wanted to share some beautiful images from a recent shoot. Truly art, this mom of 4 (including the new little one!) and her husband ordered a large print of one of these images so that they could "remember that we did that whole baby thing once upon a time." And I can't think of a better way to remember it... isn't she beautiful?



Expecting? or have a new little one? Be sure to check out our "elite petite" baby photo program for the 3.6.9.12 month stages, with optional maternity & newborn sessions available as well. {Note: a very elite sale on this program is coming soon!}
