9 times the fun... [Minneapolis Multiples Photographer]

Nine?  Yup.  Nine.  A few weeks ago, I had NINE babies in the studio.  This was a very fun mommy-and-me class that decided it would be great to document their little ones at this age... and I was lucky enough to get to be the photographer.  I can't begin to thank my dear friend, Krista, for setting this up.  Thank you for trusting me with such a special project!!  I was truly honored!

Double the fun [Minneapolis Multiples Photographer]

When a baby turns one and their package is complete, I always get a little sad.  This is doubly difficult because these little ladies are twins!  Check out their newborn photos and 6 month photos!  Now they're ONE!  I had the best time watching these beautiful girls grow and I can only cross my fingers and hope I get the chance to see them again as they grow and change!

Had to post just one...

Yes, friends... I've been one busy cookie lately.  I will keep updating the blog, but wanted to take a moment to introduce you to the newest member of the Pitzenberger family.

Blog friends... meet Emery Rae, 4 days new.

Dylan... [Medina Family Photographer]

Don't worry friends... I'm finally digging out of my editing coma!  I know I shared Devin & LeAnn's slideshow with you, but I'm also going to blog their wedding, along with another fun North Dakota wedding I shot recently.  BUT... for now, I wanted to share this special little one with you.

Jason and Ellie are very important people to hubby and I.  Jason grew up with hubby in Southern MN, went to college with hubby at UW-LAX, and has always been a part of our lives.  A few years ago, he met Ellie... and everything changed.  In fact, life got a million times better.  Ellie has become a wonderful friend of mine and hubby and I LOVE when we get to see them.  AND... last year (the day before hubby's birthday), Jason and Ellie welcome Dylan into the world.  Dear, sweet, perfect little Dylan.  I honestly couldn't love her more.  These three are so much more than friends... they are family.

Check out their slideshow here.

Baseball and Babies, what could be better?

Baseball.  It's a summer tradition in Minnesota.  The fields fill with boys hoping to make it to the "big time" someday.  The stands fill with parents who know their tushes will be sore by the end of the season, but don't care because the smile on their son's face is more than worth it.  Many years ago... the boy on the field was my husband, and the parents in the stand were my in-laws (well... my father-in-law was actually in the dugout coaching, but you get my point).  Now... the boys on the field are in their 30's, but ironically, they're still on the field!  When we moved back to Minnesota, Jeff decided he wanted to find a local baseball team to play for.  Not a softball league, not a beer league, a REAL league.  One that practices and actually competes.  Enter the Maple Plain Diamond Devils.  Never, in a million years, did I think that I would be the dutiful wife watching from the stands... especially baseball.  Enter the Baseball Wives (and a couple girlfriends).  These ladies have become one of my favorite parts of summer.  I honestly enjoy every second of the game... because of them... even though I still tell Jeff it's because I love watching him play.  ;)  They welcomed me into their group, invited me into their lives, and I couldn't be more thankful.

This is a very special session.  William was born after last year's baseball season, so we're extremely excited to have him in the stands this year.  He is one of the most cuddly, delicious little guys I've ever met.  Pat & Krista... honestly... you two are so very special to me and I am so thankful you chose me to capture William at this age.  I couldn't love the three of you more.
