A New Life on the way

This was my first maternity shoot and love how it turned out. This wonderful family invited me into their home and I appreciate the time I had to get to know them. I met Danielle at the playdate a friend of mine hosted and was excited when she gave me a call to come to do the photo shoot. Danielle and Brad are super parents with the patients most parents dream about. They have done a tremendous job raising Amber and I know they will continue this with their new life that is quickly on his or her's way. Thankyou Brad, Danielle, and Amber I hope you treasure these pictures as much as I do.

Playdate

A great friend of mine has been putting on a playdate once a month and invites many moms with young children to the town hall in her town. A morning for the moms to chat and for the kids to play. I always had something going on but was finally able to make it to her last one. I was able to get a photo of each child except for one, he was one of the youngest there being just a couple months old. This keeps my promise to all the moms that I would post some pictures, I hope you enjoy them. I had a great time and it was so nice to meet some new moms as well as the familar faces I hadn't seen in awhile. Thanks Lindsay, I hope you are able to continue these. You are an amazing gal with a lot of HEART.

Trade Show

I was in Nokomis this past weekend attending a trade show put on by REDA. I had a booth for my photography trying to get my name and work noticed. As I sat at my booth I admired all the kids that were there. Kids are so natural and never pretend to be something they're not, they live in the moment and are so precious. I love taking photos of absolutely everything but one of my true favorites are those of kids.

All the best to everyone and thanks to all that stopped by the booth, it was great to meet you all.

my kids

I've been doing my best not to post too many pictures of my kids, but when the opportunity presents itself I am going to take advantage of it. The other day someone asked me why I called my business mya.emerson and not paula schmidt. Well... These are my kids Hadley Mya and Tate Emerson and they are my whole universe.

Happy Birthday

It was Tate's (my youngest) 1st Birthday on Feb. 10. We had a house full of people and it was a blast. Tate loved all the kids and now has discovered CAKE and loves it now too. Thanks to everyone who came and for all the gifts you showered him with. He is still not walking but I am sure it will be any day and then the race will be on.

Thanks again,

Paula

These boots were made for walkin'

Thankyou to my sister Jill (aka auntie koo koo) for sending my little guy, Tate, these adorable boots for his 1st birthday. They are perfect for sleigh rides around the farm and they get quite a few comments when worn to town.

Goodnight ;o

ENERGY!!!

Good day everyone, this post involves two kids that have the kind of energy most of us dream about. Most of the pictures I took of these two were on the move. Could you blame them, a warm autumn day and a beautiful park calling their names. Harper and Hudson are brother and sister and I had a blast capturing their energy and love of life. Thank you to their mom for bringing down to the park, I enjoyed meeting them and hope to see you all again.
