When I headed back to Minnesota at the end of May one of the things I was most excited for was having the boys pictures taken at Angela Kalthoff Photography. She is an AMAZING children and family photographer and she also happens to be my cousin.
When it comes to things that are SUPER important to me photography is really high up there. I love having at least one family photo session taken each year. With the baby I like to do a newborn, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 18 month photo session. After that I make sure they get one on their birthdays. So this May the time frame was perfect because it was right before Baby D’s 6 month day and K’s 4 year birthday.
We actually had her come out to Las Vegas with K was born to do his newborn pictures. Timing worked out that we were also able to get K’s 6 month pictures done with her on another visit. I wish I could afford to fly her here or fly home to have all of our family pictures done with her. She is so talented.
Recently she opened her own stand alone studio in Delano Minnesota and I have to tell you I have never been to a nicer studio. It was so big and filled with natural light. The day we went it was raining, but even raining there was more natural light in there than I have seen in any other studio!
Mr. K being a sass-a-potamus!
It was so great too, because while Angela was shooting Baby D’s pictures K got to play with his twin cousins. I was worries that K wouldn’t have toys to play with, but being a family friendly studio there were kid books and toys, a large bathroom, and plenty of room to play. They sure had a blast playing!
Her girls are just a little under 2 years older than K. It’s amazing the difference 6 years makes! I was in Minnesota when those precious babies were born and visited them in the nicu. I can’t believe what amazing little girls they have grown into! If we lived closer I’d pay them to come over and play with my boys. Both boys were infatuated with them!
I can’t tell you how happy I am with all the pictures and how they turned out. She was so sweet to take a ton of pictures and even handle my special requests without a blink of her eye. She was kind enough to share a few digital images so I can show them off. I wish I could show all of them off – Baby D naked in a bucket was just too much cute to handle!
Those twinkling eyes!

Brothers!

Aww. they are so precious! Your cousin did a fabulous job!
That looks like such an amazing studio! I love the end results as well!
Thank you Dallas! It was a lot of fun and I’m very happy with the pictures!
Pssssst, added you back to the list.
And seriously, those boys of yours are so darn cute. The session did them justice!
Sadly, I hardly took any family photos throughout the years. I don’t know why, I think time just kept slippin’.
You are so sweet! Thank you Liz. Thanks for adding me back too! 😉
wow she did a really amazing job. Her studio is gorgeous with lots of light too. love it
What wonderful photos! I don’t live in Minnesota, but I sure would use her if I did.
Aww, so cute, what wonderful photos!
Those are gorgeous photos! I love close up, non traditional poses and your cousin nailed it beautifully. It’s great that you have photos taken often. I was really good about it with my first two children, but not so good since my youngest turned 3. When my babies were born, I had photos taken every month on the birth date, for the first year, then every three months, birthdays and holidays. I can’t even tell you the last time we had professional portraits taken! My son graduates from his high school/entry to college program next May and I’m having professional photos taken–he isn’t thrilled!
Those pictures did turn out very nice! They look very cute and spontaneous.
LOVE! She did a fantastic job.
I hope your cousin does well. She took some very nice pictures of the boys. They are so cute.
Oh my -those are fabulous photos -she is extremely talented.
We don’t go to a professional but just head out to the beach with my camera. We try to do it at least once a year.
She did an excellent job on the photos. I can see why you were thrilled with her work.
