This beautiful brown eyed girl did so well during her session! She rocked it and gave us tons of smiles to work with. Kalissa's newborn session was on my first 'official' day operating as Christy Body Photography so again, thrilled to see her back!

This little guy's mama's sister (following still?) is my very best friend! They were actually my VERY first clients when I officially started this photography venture so I was so grateful to have them come back and since Quinn was just a few days old at that session, I was excited to see him at six months.

Aaron came all the way from North Carolina to take his senior photos! I kid, but it did work our perfectly to work his senior portraits in while he and his family were in town visiting his grandparents. He knew all the great spots around the farm for us, which was great! Best of luck to you in your senior year, Aaron!

When Beth first called me to ask about availability for an extended family session she started telling me about the various buildings and backdrops that would be available at her in-laws' farm. Not sure if I started drooling over the potential then or after we hung up. I kid! But seriously...the farm was a photographer's dream. Our day happened to be an incredibly bright and sunny day and the time that worked best for everyone was early afternoon, so unfortunately we had to work around the sun but still managed to find some great locations. Thank you, Timm family, for inviting me to your home!

The weather wasn't uber cooperative for this little man's session, but we made do! Taking cover under our front porch, in the woods and of course inside the studio. LOVED the little guy's tie! So handsome!

sisters | mankato children's photographer

I play volleyball with these girls' mom and dad so it's always fun to see the girls and how they're growing! Their mama and I decided a chalk board would be fun to incorporate into the session, glad I now have that as a prop option for future sessions!

brothers | mankato children's photographer

These boys' mama is a relative of a good friend of mine so I was so excited to meet her and her family the day of her session. The boys did amazing and big brother Easton was a pro at getting his little brother to smile!
