This weekend, I had the pleasure of shooting a session of a friend of mine & his family. We thought for sure it was going to rain, but we ended up with a gorgeous day! The setting was perfect and memorable too – this is their amazing backyard, quiet and tucked away right in town. It’s always fun to do sessions with friends, especially when they have such a wonderful, welcoming family and their kids are as cute and fun as this!
Thanks again, guys! :)
So… I’m sitting out on my deck with my laptop working on editing a recent session, and Lexi gets the grumblies. If you’ve met her, you probably know what I’m talking about. It’s not a bark, and not even quite a growl, just grumbles. So we call it the grumblies because she sounds so cute trying not to bark :) Anyway, she got the grumblies. She was trying hard to be quiet but just couldn’t contain herself. So I walked over to the edge of the deck to see what she was watching… it was this:
We saw her a few weeks ago when we were out walking on the trail – she was tiny then, not much bigger than the dogs. She was all alone curled up under a tree. I didn’t have my camera that time though. Luckily, she decided to take a walk through the empty lot next door long enough for me to grab it this time!
Look at those ears!
How sweet. I wonder where mom is?
So sweet!! I love these and I love those big ears. Our mommies and babies have been coming out a lot lately too. I wonder what the reason is. The babies are too cute when they get frisky..
Cool photos sweetheart :)
That’s really cool. Good thing you had your camera close by! Our backyard is totally fenced in so that would never happen at my house. Lucky girl!
More from Duluth! Hope you’re enjoying the pics as much as I enjoyed my time there :) This first pic is the view from our hotel room – right through the glass! Not a bad sight to wake up to, eh?

I love Lake Superior’s North Shore!
The rest of these were taken from the Vista Star – dinner cruise – one of those things you don’t really do when you live there… so we were tourists that day ;)
It’s Anna!!
G’nite, beautiful Duluth!
Sorry everybody… that you have to do the word verification thingy now… I just got 5 spam comments within about two minutes!! :( Why do they have to ruin it for everybody?
Gorgeous!

I really like the rocky shots!

I love it here… My hubby & friends are working today, so I’m bumming around the city watching the bridge, listening to waves, smiling at the sun… It’s wonderful!
I’m at a coffee shop downtown right now, refueling, taking a break and emptying my camera so I’m ready for more ;)
- Kristen in Duluth ;)
(more to come!!)
Great photos! Enjoy your stay.
Awesome – sounds like you’re having a great time!
Wow! I feel like I’ve been there after looking at your pictures :-)
pretty flowers! hope you are having a great time!
I love the flower shots! What type of camera/lense are you shooting with?
Thanks for all the comments! Isn’t Duluth beautiful? There’s more to come! ;)
All of these pics were taken with my backup/travel camera: Canon Rebel XTI. he flower shots were taken with my favorite lens – Tamron 28-75 f/2.8. The rest were with either my Canon 18-55 or Canon 75-300.
Sooooo good to see you, Kristen!
That was from Anna, BTW :)
Hey, I wanted to let you know that your Deluth photos are what inspired me to take some pictures of my own home town, hence my blog post yesterday.
I was originally going to give you credit for the inspiration and link your blog, but when I came back here to grab your link, I realized how beautiful and professional your photos really looked, and I thought they’d make my pictures look pretty cruddy in comparison. ;-)
