{Valentine Special & 2011 Miracles}

Happy New Year! I am in the new studio and lovin’ it!!  I can’t wait to share it with all of you.  I’m waiting on some frames, etc. before taking official photos to share, and there will be an open house Jan. 28th which I hope you attend with a facepainter, refreshments, door prizes, and more!

See the flyer below for details on our Valentine special. I cannot wait to photograph my own kiddos on these adorable sets and create one of a kind valentines to pass out. Email if you would like an appointment- spots are limited!

And it wouldn’t be right to ring in a new year without me remembering all the adorable new miracles I met during 2011. I feel so blessed newborns are such a big part of my job. I am honored to meet these little sweethearts, and each is unique and special. God bless you all! Turn up the volume and enjoy.

{The big move.}

The  big move- the one I’ve been dreaming of since I officially began in this biz about 7 years ago- is underway! Next week will bring the rest of the old studio into the new space, and I will be in! I cannot wait for you all to see it. It is beautiful.  Everything I’ve dreamed of and more!:)The open house will be Jan.  28th from 3-7. I hope you can stop by- there will be more info. coming about this as well. Enjoy this great time of year with your loved ones and have a wonderful New Year! I think 2012 is going to be a GREAT year!:)

One week old Raphael with big brother Sebastian- are they too darn cute or what?  It was such a pleasure photographing these two.

  And  I will finish this post off with yet another adorable miracle I got to photograph recently. Oliver- just days new. Congrats K family!!

{Happy Holidays!}

I’m on a roll- three blog posts in less than a week! Yay!! As I get caught up editing and prepare for the studio move, I again pause and reflect on how grateful I am for my job and the people I meet.  I get to meet a lot of wonderful families in my job, and I just love when they continue to come back over time and I can watch as their family grows. It is pretty special. I hope you all are enjoying this time of year with the ones you love. Despite the craziness of the season, I hope you all enjoy some quiet time with your families remembering the true reason for the season. Happy holidays!!

Reid, just one week new,  was a delight to photograph. His big sister, Lyla, has spent a lot of time in my studio over the past 3 years, and it was a delight to watch her excitement over her  new little brother. Congrats M family- he is beautiful!!

These three brothers were all SO different from one another. It was fun to get to know them individually, and I love this shot of all of them together.

 

Sweet lil’ Alexis is proving to be just as photogenic as her big sister, Sydney. Already smilin’ for the camera at just 10 days old- love it!!

And finally I will end this share with one year old Maya- a fun baby girl I’ve had the pleasure of photographing ever since she was in mom’s tummy! Happy first birthday!!!

{A new post in record time.}

Ok, so I didn’t get to it the following day, but pretty close! More cuties to share and also letting you know Angela Kalthoff Photography will be closing December 19th except for prepaid newborn sessions until the New Year to enjoy the holidays with my family and move into the new studio!!! And YES, there will be a BIG PARTY!! Hoping for the last weekend in January with more news to come on that.

Another sweet newborn for me to photograph- Kathryn Rose. She was so pretty and had this amazing thick dark hair. A few to share- I really love the sibling shot- it looks like Kathryn’s expression is like- what the heck did I get myself into?;)

Ryan, who at 4 months, is growing like a weed! I swear I just did his newborn session. Where does time go?? Another adorable baby with huge baby blues.

  And my last to share is miss Emma- a sassy and sweet 1 year old who was full of smiles for me. Happy first birthday sweet baby girl! It has been awesome watching you grow this first year!

{My poor neglected lil’ blog.}

 

‘Tis the season- only 10 short days until Christmas Eve, can you believe it? I can’t really. It’s not that I’m not ready- it’s just that is was raining today in MN. How weird is that?? 

So it has been ages and ages since I’ve blogged- not due to lack of subjects to blog about- quite the opposite in fact. This is the crazy time of year for most photographers, and combined with the studio finishing up (yes, you read that right!!!) I have been swamped. So.. the question I get asked about a dozen times a week- when will the new place be open??? And the answer is- in a few weeks!!!:DYAY!!! Flooring gets laid next week and then final inspections, and then the huge process of moving my lifetime supply of props, equipment, etc. into the new place. I plan to be shooting there full time come January with the grand openening party near the end of the month to give me time to get the new prints on the walls, etc. Look for more information coming about that- it is going to be a FUN time!!!

So here are just a handful of cuties that have been in recently. I am going to try to get more up tomorrow as I know not all of you are on facebook which is where I’m more likely to update, although to be honest I haven’t done much of that lately either! I’m not complaining- I love being busy and am so excited to see what 2012 brings. I think it is going to be fabulous!!

First off, miss sweet Alexis- just 7 days new. Her little smirk kills me- how cute is that?

Next is 8 month old Eli- he had the most beautiful blue eyes and such a handsome lil’ man he was. I love this age!

The Walter Family- I am so  honored this family drove about 3 hours to see me for a session. Thank you guys!! It is so fun to know a family for years and watch the changes as their children grow. I cannot believe how big Carter and Ashley are now. Time goes fast!

And finally I will end with another adorable lil’ miracle. Meet Ashton- so super sweet- she barely made a peep the entire session.   I love the eye contact she gave me on the second one.
