Welcome…

Thanks for visiting my blog!

About me…my name is Cherise.  I am an on location, lifestyle photographer located in Cambridge, MN.  I absolutely adore my family, I have a wonderful husband, an adorable (but energetic) 2 yr old son who keeps me on my toes, and my 18 yr old son who is ready to start his journey in life.  Besides my obvious passion for photography, I also love horses, barrel racing, spending time with my girlfriends, and of most of all my family.

My photography style is very photojournalistic, non-traditional and full of natural expressions.  I LOVE natural light and am constantly searching for the perfect, beautifully lit location to photograph my clients.  As a lifestyle photographer,  I find pure bliss in documenting your family from the eye of an observer, someone peeking into your dailly life.  My goal is to capture your life, your family, as it is right now.  That is what lifestyle photography is all about…real, everyday life. 

Read through my blog…you are sure to learn lots about me, my family and my wonderful clients!  I love to share sneak peeks of recent client sessions and of course, my lovely family…so stay awhile and get comfy!  Feel free to leave me comments, I love hearing from my readers!

Bigelbach Sneak Peek!!!

Today I had a session with my good friend’s family again.  You have seen previous sessions with her family .  The session was for little “T”’s 4 yr birthday and little “L”s 1 yr birthday.    Little “L” had grown sooooo much since my last visit, walking, and babbling now, just adorable!  We managed to get in a bunch of great shots!    Hope you love your sneak peek, leave me a comment

“Bravin the cold”

Today my little peanut and I braved the cold to catch a few shots.  He was just excited to get out of the house and out in the snow.  Feel free to share your comments on these wintery images!

My “Little peanut”

This time of year allows me more time to take photo’s of my “little peanut”.  It surprises me every day how he finds new ways to make me laugh and bring joy to my heart   He is such blessing to all…  I had to share some images I shot today!  We decided he should try on the new ‘digs” he got from the gap!  Between posing and dancing we had a lot of fun together!!!  ENJOY…
