Oh Snappy Days

🚘🤍 Mac officially got his first set of wheels... and we don't think he could have picked a better one! 🤍🚘

When your family owns the local Chevy dealership, you have to do a little something extra for your first birthday session!

Mac showed up with his brand new Chevy ride-on truck, and while it's technically remote controlled (so let's be honest... it's probably just as much Dad's toy right now 😂), we knew we had to kick off his one-year session at the dealership. Seeing his little truck parked next to the full-sized Chevy was one of those ideas that turned out even better than we imagined!

After our pit stop at Murphy Chevrolet, we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa's property—the same special place where we've photographed Mac since he was just a tiny newborn. There's something so meaningful about returning to the same place and watching just how much he's grown in one short year.

Auntie Ellie tagged along and definitely earned the title of Professional Smile Getter. We're pretty sure Mac thinks she hung the moon because every time she was nearby, those adorable grins came pouring out. 😍 We even convinced Uncle Von to jump in for a few photos, and of course we couldn't let the milestone pass without capturing the whole family together.

One thing is for sure... this sweet little guy has a way of bringing everyone together. ❤️

Mom kept the cake smash simple, and it couldn't have fit Mac's personality any better. He wasn't interested in demolishing the cake—but he sure enjoyed tasting it! His favorite part? Clapping with frosting-covered hands because he was so excited. 🥹👏

And can we talk about those outfits?! From the classic red striped OshKosh overalls behind the wheel of his tiny Chevy to the soft yellow shorts set out in the sunshine... every single look was perfection. But honestly, nothing stole the show more than those giant brown eyes. Mac is a natural in front of the camera, and we're convinced he's got a future as a baby model.

Happy First Birthday, Mac! Thank you for letting us document another chapter of your story. We can't wait to see where your adventures take you next... hopefully with both hands on the wheel! 🚙💙

💙🚀 Houston... we have a ONE YEAR OLD! 🚀💙

How is sweet little Hank already ONE?! It feels like just yesterday we were photographing him as a tiny newborn, and now here he is running around, exploring, and flashing those heart-melting smiles.

This special milestone session took place right in Niky's backyard by the pond, and it couldn't have been a more perfect evening. It was just Hank and Mom this time—no big sisters—which meant Hank soaked up every second of that one-on-one attention. And let us tell you... he was absolutely LOVING it! His giggles, smiles, and sweet little personality were on full display from start to finish.

Mom absolutely nailed the outfit choices, but we have to admit... those classic little OshKosh overalls stole the show! Paired with our vintage red chair and wooden crate, they created the sweetest timeless photos. ❤️

And can we talk about those BIG blue eyes?! 😍 Hank, you completely melted our hearts.

To top it all off, Mom and Dad chose the cutest party theme: "Houston, We Have a One Year Old!" 🚀 We carried that theme right into his cake smash... complete with bright blue frosting. By the end, Hank looked like he had gotten into a wrestling match with a Smurf, and we were all laughing behind the camera! 💙😂

Thank you for letting us capture another milestone for your sweet boy. Watching your family grow has been such an honor, and we can't wait to see what adventures this next year brings for little Hank.

Happy First Birthday, buddy! 🎂💙

✨ From neighbors to lifelong connections... this wedding is extra special for us! ✨

Sometimes the world feels a little smaller in the best way. When Rylee reached out about wedding photography, Niky quickly realized she wasn't just another bride... she was one of her neighbors! ❤️ And as it turns out, Carrie has known Mitch for years, making this wedding feel even more special for both of us.

We kicked off their engagement session at Municipal Park in Sauk Rapids, wandering beneath the beautiful Hope Bridge before heading over to Bend in the River Regional Park to chase one of those dreamy Minnesota sunsets. 🌅

Getting to know these two together was such a joy. They have the sweetest balance—Rylee has this bright, infectious energy that lights up every room, while Mitch has such a calm, steady presence that grounds her. Watching them interact, you can tell they bring out the very best in each other.

Of course, they completely embraced every goofy prompt, every silly idea, and every "just trust us!" moment we threw their way. 😂 Their willingness to laugh, play along, and simply enjoy being together gave us so many authentic smiles, sweet glances, and candid moments. Honestly, we had an absolute blast with these two!

From willow trees and quiet riverside moments to old barns, winding roads, and that gorgeous golden sunset, this session couldn't have been a more perfect reflection of who they are.

Now we're counting down the days until September, when these two officially become husband and wife! We already know it's going to be a day filled with love, laughter, happy tears, and unforgettable memories.

❤️ Congratulations again, Rylee & Mitch! Thank you for trusting us to capture such an exciting chapter in your lives. We can't wait to celebrate with you and tell the story of your wedding day!

📷 September can't come soon enough!

Why not get everything done at once?! What's worse for us Mamas trying to get everyone ready for Picture Day---having to get them ready for TWO Picture Days hahaha, so we got everything done at once 😅🥳 In our earlier post, we got to show off some of the photos we snapped of these girlies with their brother for their 2025-2026 figure skating & hockey seasons, but that same day we were able to pack in dance season photos for these little dancing queens too! 🩰👑🎀🎶

I'm already planning for next season with bringing my daughter, Paislee & Niky's daughter, Kinsley along so that we can get buddy photos of our tiny dancers all together 💜❤️🩷💛 Hoping to make a super fun Girls Day out of it because we all know nothing beats a Girls Day, especially with our Minis included 💕📸💅🛍🧋

How fun are these?!?! Time well spent with some of my favorite faces so that we could "freeze" in time their 2025-2026 figure skating & hockey seasons ⏰️❄️🖼⛸️🏒

This Session was one of my FAVORITES to date; Ryker being a gentleman about putting up with individual photos for two sports PLUS some sibling/buddy photos with his camera-loving sisters who had ALL sorts of ideas 😆😆😆, Lennox giddily perfecting every single pose idea we threw at her PLUS coming up with several of her own 😉😉😉, and Payton being willing to model for us whenever M&M bribery was involved PLUS making us giggle nonstop when she tried taking direction from Lennox 🤪🤪🤪

It was honestly a breath of fresh air being able to step out of our norm of family/baby/senior sessions to do these fun sport photos with the kiddos. I'm always in my happy place anytime I get to spend my time with this fam~~~I love these kiddos like my own, so seeing them all take SUCH a shine to these activities had my heart overwhelmed with pride! They were excited to show me some of their moves, strut their stuff in their costumes, and tell us all about some of their favorite memories from this season. I can't wait to print off some of these for my own fridge next to their photos from last year 🥰🥹😍

Sorry for the short social media break; we tried to slow down a little this Holiday Season to really soak it all in with our loved ones after our jam packed 2025 and the super busy season of photography leading up to the Holidays. We have still been hustling away at the forefront of taking photos, but we did some social media minimization during the Holidays & Lenten Season. Now we're ready to kick it into high gear after that short Facebook rest, so that we can show off a bunch of the pretty peeps that we have had in front of our cameras 😍😍😍😍

Next up, Mr. Colin's annual updated photos 💚 This hilarious guy never fails to make us giggle at his Sessions because he can do a serious expression like NO OTHER! It is so dang comical how he is already such a "man's man" when it comes to pictures 😆 We all know that Picture Day rarely provides a lot of excitement for the dudes of the world haha---they're usually along for the ride to please their wives/moms/etc. 😉 So we always laugh that Colin from DAY ONE has always been SUCH a "dude" in front of the camera. It's as if he already knew as an infant that he was too cool for pictures and we'd have to really work at cracking that macho man attitude of his hahaha 😉🤣

My favorite thing about his photos throughout the years is that he's continued to keep that subtle shy smirk of his---never really a big huge grin---always just that same slight smile---I always say that it's his "signature look" and I truly love it so much! It makes him "him" and it matches his bashful personality perfectly. Plus, when you're that dang cute ( and you KNOW you're that dang cute ) then you don't have to do a giant chomper-filled grin, you can rock the "cool dude" charm of the low key styled statement that he provides 😎🥰😜 Plus, it never fails to have props thrown in to win him over! Speaking again of him being "all boy," this guy LOVES his trucks, tractors, monster trucks, and sports! A session with Colin wouldn't be complete without some boy toys thrown in! 🛻🚜🛞🏈🏀

Next up, we have some of the MANY sweet snapshots from Mr. Cohen's studio visit 🩵 He truly is the definition of "happy baby," we have NEVER had a 1 year old this smiley---no kidding, this guy literally grinned from ear to ear the ENTIIIIIIIIRE time! If we pointed a camera at him, the smirks instantly turned on, we have never seen anything like it haha! No need for entertaining this guy, he was entertaining us (and himself lol). Not only would he smile nonstop, but he also let out so many giggles; it's as if he thought the roles were reversed and it was his job to get us to smile ( and let me tell you, he did a heck of a phenomenal job at doing that 😉😁😁😁 ) Not only were Niky & I laughing from start to finish with this happy hunk hamming it up for us during the Session, he also had us doing it as we worked on his photos after the Session. I mean just scroll through these, he smiles with his whole face, you can't look at his cheerful expressions without being amused yourself. His cheeks squish up, his nose crinkles, his complexion beams, and his eyes twinkle---he radiates the purest joy!

We know EXACTLY where he gets that delightfully upbeat presence from---his Mama who joined us at the Session has the EXACT same sweet-hearted disposition. Riley, I could've chit chatted the entire day away with you ( and continued clicking my camera the entire day at Cohen too haha ). It was seriously tough to stop ourselves from taking up a bunch of your time because we loved getting to know you and then EVERY SIIIIIINGLE photo snapped was a keeper! Cohen truly is the camera's best friend and SO dang photogenic; get ready for baby modeling contracts to be coming your way, this superstar was made for the spotlight lol 🤩🌟📃🖊

Starting off with getting back into the swing of things by sharing Miss. Ember's 1 Year Session 🩷 This pretty petite peanut of a LIVING doll has been SUCH a highlight to our work year ( can you even call it "work" when you get to spend your time hanging out with this little honey?!?! 😉)

Don't let her tiny feminine frame fool you, this girly has a personality LARGER than life! No doubt in our minds, she will do BIIIIIIG things!!!! Her smile is infectious, her happy attitude is contagious, and her sweet demeanor is too cute for words. As soon as you meet her, she has you wrapped around her finger. She had us head over heels at her very first Session with us out at Munsinger Gardens last Summer. Later in the year, we got to take photos of her Daddy's extended family, and that led us into this one year photo session ( still wrapping my head around her being a year old already 🤯)

The Przybilla family has truly become part of our Oh Snappy Days family; right upon our first encounter with Ember's Daddy & Mommy, we didn't feel like strangers meeting at all---we felt like old friends catching up. We have cherished every moment spent with them and feel BEYOND blessed to have been able to capture some of Ember's first year milestone photographs 🥰🥹

We cannot thank you ENOUGH, Eric & Michelle for sharing your precious girly with us, and also for becoming some of our favorite returning clients & new friends! 🙌🫶
