It's hard to wrap my head around the fact that I'm now booking Fall Mini Portrait Sessions, but that's definitely what's happening! I have 4 dates available, each at a fun and vibrant location within the Twin Cities. I know Aamodt's Apple Orchard is booking up fast - that seems to be the favorite so far. I'm also doing Tamarack Nature Center again, which is absolutely gorgeous in the Fall - the images on my flyer are from that spot. Central Park in Roseville has a lot to work with and Keller Lake's bridge in Maplewood has a certain rustic look to it. No matter which location you choose, your family photos this Fall will be amazing. But you better book fast, spots are limited! Your 20 minute mini session includes all of the retouched digital files... perfect for those adorable family Christmas cards (but ... let's not go there yet though!)

I'm super excited to show off my new wedding photography website! I took a step back from photographing weddings a few years back when I had my boys. I started to take just a couple each year so I could focus on my newborn and baby photography. This year I have a some upcoming wedding shoots in the books that I'm very excited capture so I have decided to create a new wedding website and take on a few more weddings each year. 

For the month of July, I'm offering new wedding clients that reserve their wedding date with a deposit and signed contract, $200 off any package.

I have been capturing this family since the beginning years of my photography business. I was thrilled when they booked a mini Mother's Day session. It was a beautiful day down by the Stone Arch Bridge capturing THREE generations of gorgeous ladies. Here's a little sneak peek of their images.

These Mommy & Me sessions don't have to be for just Mother's Day. I think it's important that mother & child relationships are captured yearly. If you are interested in documenting you and your children, please contact me through my website or by emailing me at christina@bloomingportraits.com.

I wish all of you hard working moms a peaceful, relaxing, and very Happy Mother's Day tomorrow!

I was so excited when my cousins asked me to photograph their new baby boy! I've captured their two beautiful daughters since they were babies and couldn't wait to do baby Gabe's newborn portraits. And let me tell you, he did not disappoint. He was so sleepy and squishy. He had the best hair ever. We put him in the cutest little outfits and props and he just slept away. These are just a few of my favorite images from his newborn session.
