It’s another installment of what will hopefully be many monthly letters written to my son. It’s a part of a memory-keeping attempt to capture these glimpses into the everyday and the not so ordinary moments that pass by so quickly as children grow. This is an ongoing series. Dear sweet boy, In the last month we’ve had Christmas,…
I went to school with Dan and couldn’t have been more thrilled when he married Susi. Their two kids are outrageously fantastic and, I swear, I’ve never seen siblings get along so well. We met up on a gorgeous fall morning at Thomas Lake Park in Eagan and had a little stroll around the park….
I’m so excited to photograph Erica and Dave’s wedding this coming June. If their engagement session is any indication, their wedding day is going to be full of complete joy, overwhelming love and laughter, laughter, laughter. We met up on a gorgeous, Minnesota fall evening. Erica and Dave love to spend time outdoors together and…
I’m joining a talented group of photographers for a 10 on 10 blog circle. The idea is to shoot and share a ten image story from a single day. Around August’s birthday last year, we were given a membership to the Minnesota Zoo, and it has been fantastic. We go so often – really, nearly once a…
A beautiful and continually inspiring group of ladies and I have been doing this favorite 5 blog circle for some time now. Every month we post a small selection of favorite shots from the previous month, add a little bit of commentary and link on to the next gal in the circle. So, be sure to head…
His little hand in mittens! What a cutie. I remember when my girls were young, we would do the same thing. They napped so well on zoo days.
The zoo membership has been worth it a million times over. Thanks, sweetie!
Fabulous images! Love the one of the otter. And your little man is completely adorable.
Thanks so much, Amy! 🙂
I am in love with your photography Allison and this story just simply makes me happy. Every shot full of color and movement and so much story-telling. My fave was the otter and the one of your boy with his hand on the aquarium glass…so sweet! I’m so inspired!
Thank you so so much, Stephanie xoxo
What a fun day!

Alison, I love the look of excitement in your boy’s eyes as your story unfolds and the perfect ending with his little friend.

I love all the shots of his hands engaging. Such a quintessential peek at childhood bliss. So lovely.
Thank you so much, Jenn <3
You have created a real story here – from start (anticipation!) to finish (nap). And your ability to focus in so beautifully in all your photos is such an inspiration.
Thanks, lovely!
You captured the wonder of a child’s visit to the zoo oh so well. I lived at the zoo with two littles when they were small. This was nostalgic for me!
Beautiful photos Alison. 🙂
