In appreciation...

In appreciation and gratitude of everyone that participated in the "Little Angels" event, I have decided to create a 2009 Little Angels Limited Edition DVD. This custom DVD will commemorate and recognize every little angel that participated in this charity event.

On behalf of Siri Benrud Photography and the Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota, we hope that you would enjoy this DVD for many years to come. I am thrilled to be able to showcase every beautiful, little angel that took part in this exciting event!

Due to the nature of this event, I have chosen to provide this custom DVD for the price of $35 (normally $200). In addition, the images that are featured in the DVD will also be featured in a beautiful 2009 Little Angels Limited Edition Coffee Table Book. The coffee table book will be available for $125 (normally $400).

The 2009 Little Angels Limited Edition DVD and Coffee Table Book will be available for purchase through Siri Benrud Photography starting 10.29.2008 through 12.31.2008. Because this item is custom, it will not be ordered in bulk. Therefore, there will only be a limited amount for sale. If you would like to reserve your copy, call the studio today at 715.563.4229.

Thank you again to everyone who made this event so successful. Every little angel was beautiful. You all have touched my heart.

I was overwhelmed by the response from all who participated in this event. I would once again like to thank you for your generous donations to the Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota. It was so much fun meeting ALL of you. Everyone involved in this process is truly special and I feel blessed to have been a part of it. Without you, this event would not have been so successful. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Charmer...

Mr. Zachary is quite the charmer. He is such a sweet boy, with a great personality. It is always a treat to photograph him! Enjoy your preview...

Kelsey...

Just a quick sneak peek from yesterday, Kelsey! Once again, I had a blast working with you. Enjoy your little preview. I wish I had time to share more!

Look at this gorgeous dress!

More Boys!

I had the pleasure of working with another great family this morning, and you guessed it... they have two boys! I guess I can say that I have had my fair share of photographing boys lately! It was so much fun watching these two brothers interact. They are absolutely adorable! Thanks for the wonderful time and enjoy your "sneak peek."

Charmers...

These boys are quite the charmers. They are full of personality, but yet there is still a sweet innocence about them. I believe their parents are going to have some trouble on their hands as they grow up! Thanks for inviting me to your beautiful home. Enjoy your preview...

Check out these boots... aren't they hot?!

So Much Fun!

My husband and I met Ken and Sarah 4 1/2 years ago when we were in Lamaze class together before our oldest children were born. It has been such a pleasure getting to know them and watching their boys grow. Is it pushing it to say that we have found two husbands for our two little girls?! Thank you for inviting me to photograph your family today. I had a blast working with you!

And this is when you know that the session is OVER! :)

Chub is beautiful...

When you're three months old! Just check out these baby cheeks! :)

And look at all that dark hair! Isn't she beautiful?! Thanks for the opportunity to photograph your little princess. Enjoy your preview!

What a Group!

What a group this was! I am amazed we were able to get everyone looking at the camera at the same time, but we did it! It was so nice to meet ALL of you. You have a beautiful family and so much to be proud of. Enjoy...

And finally... grandpa with his two little cowboys!

Energetic Brothers...

These boys gave me a bit of a workout. :) But we did have fun crossing bridges, climbing rocks, and playing in the sand. They are deeply loved by their mother and it truly shows. Thanks for letting me capture these moments that pass so quickly. I hope you enjoy your preview!

Peaceful...

There is nothing more peaceful than a sleeping baby. And for some reason, every newborn that I have photographed absolutely loves the cocoon wrap and soft, fuzzy blanket. They always fall asleep and they look so peaceful. Little Aaron was no exception. He slept through most of his session, although he did show me his eyes for awhile. What a cutie he is. He looks just like his daddy... especially when he cries! Congratulations on your new little guy and I hope you enjoy your "sneak peek."
