Miranda



Today I met a beautiful cream colored mini dachshund named Miranda.  She is so sweet and loves to cuddle - she kept trying to crawl into my lap <3  Miranda has a condition in one eye called microphthalmia which is a condition she was born with.  She has been evaluated and does not need surgery, but it does mean she just has sight out of one eye so she needs to keep that one safe.

Miranda is on the shy side so she would do better without little kiddos running around making her nervous.  Otherwise she just loves attention and squeaky toys!

You can adopt Miranda by filling out an application with Secondhand Hounds!

Spread Some Christmas Cheer!



As Buddy the Elf says, "The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear." Or another way would be to send out a Christmas card that includes a large bowl of egg nog, sweet elf pjs, and only serious faces.  Maybe the best tradition ever!

Sunny Summer Mini



I am officially caught up on editing for the next week!  So now I get to look back at some of the sessions I had in the last few months and finally post some.  I figured it would be nice to start with some of the warmer ones :)

Puppies Ready in 2014



If your New Year's Resolution includes adding a furry family member then this might just be the blog post for you!  I recently photographed 11 sweet as can be, lab/pittie mix puppies that will be ready for adoption in early 2014.  I also got to meet their mom and she was just the sweetest dog giving me kisses the entire time I played and snuggled with her babies.  This momma dog has been through a lot!  She was rescued by Secondhand Hounds from a shelter in Missouri while pregnant and was able to have her babies at a wonderful, caring foster home in Minnesota.

Now these sweet fluffy things are 6 weeks old and almost ready for their new homes!  Which one are you going to adopt??

Grain Belt Studio



I recently signed on to be part of a studio space in NE Minneapolis that  is located in one of the Grain Belt Buildings....



I just had my first couple of sessions in the studio and I thought I would share some adorable families who got to try it out!

There might not be a more fitting place for Christmas photos than a Christmas tree farm!  This was my first visit to Hansen Tree Farm and it is such a beautiful little spot.  We recently had a fresh coating of snow around here so I'm guessing it looks even more Christmas-y now!

Happy Christmas tree hunting!
