(EXPIRED POST 2023). Summer Has Finally Arrived.... and it's time to think about FALL!

THIS IS AN EXPIRED POST FROM 2023.

FALL 2024 BOOKING WILL BE AVAILABLE AT THE END OF THE SUMMER

hope you're all enjoying your summer so far and all the fun it has in store! 

My schedule will be very limited this summer and fall season and is already booking up fast, so here is an update of how my Fall schedule will work these next few months so you can plan accordingly. 

My complete availability FOR FULL SESSIONS and ALL planned Mini Sessions through the end of October are now listed here on the Blog. No other Family Mini Sessions Full Session Dates will be added to this schedule.

  I know Fall is THE Season that so many of you love to do Family Photos. I unfortunately have very limited availability due to the crazy growth of my School Photo Business Orange Fox Photo.  I'd love to avoid burnout and this will be the best way to do so and still be able to accommodate as many families as possible.

Some other quick changes to note:

I no longer have my studio space so all sessions will be done On Location during Evening Hours (for best lighting). 


Newborn Sessions are only being booked for returning clients and are done on location at client's home.  I will not be taking any newborn sessions August through October 2023.


Pricing has gone up slightly for all sessions.  Make sure to take a look at the pricing page on my website before booking. There is a discount for weekday sessions as well.

All of these dates and times are First Come/First Served so please nab your spots ASAP.

Mini Sessions Dates, Locations and Availability can also be found on the Blog HERE. If you haven’t tried one before, they are a great option for families with older children who need a little less time for photos or who would enjoy a shorter session with less photos.

FULL SESSION AVAILABILITY July thru October (Mini Sessions listed on separate Blog Post HERE)

Full On Location Children/Family Sessions (see Pricing Page for More Information)

July through August are FULLY BOOKED

Please email me directly at leann@honeybeeandpeony.com with your preferred date, time and location for your Full Session. That date and time will not be confirmed until you hear back from me with confirmation and Booking Information is emailed to you. I will update dates and times available as quickly as humanly possible.

Happy New Year 2021 - A Look Back at 2020

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Thanks for an amazing year of photos again in 2020!!

Although it was a difficult year for everyone for so many reasons, I am insanely thankful for all of my amazing clients who bought Gift Cards ahead of time when we couldn't take photos yet and everyone who still had me take photos and make it a successful year despite many drawbacks and challenges. We did it!

One of my favorite things to do at the end of the year is to get to look back at all of the sweet families who make Honeybee & Peony what it is. Here is this years look back at one photo from each session I did.

OneFromEach2020CORRECT.jpg


Happy 2021 to you all! May it be a year of change and progress and happiness and love and health.

xoxo, Leann

Thai Yoga Bodywork with Bridgett Erickson

It’s always fun to take a small departure from my normal photography genre and even more fun when I get to spend time with a wonderful friend and capture some photos of her doing what she is so amazing at.

2020-06-19_0001.jpg

I met Bridgett many years ago right after my first child was born. She was my favorite yoga instructor at a local studio and I would religiously attend her Sunday morning Take It Easy Yoga class. We ended up chatting and becoming friends. She shares her amazing talents with me as my yoga instructor, friend, and Thai Yoga Bodywork practitioner. I was so excited when she asked me to take some photos of her in her sweet Linden Hills Space where she provides Thai Yoga Bodywork to her clients.

2020-06-19_0003.jpg

From her website: “Thai Yoga Bodywork is often referred to as “lazy yoga.” You show up in comfortable clothing, as you would for a regular yoga class, but instead of taking poses yourself you passively receive hands-on adjustment from the practitioner. The adjustments create shape and form to assist your body in facilitating energy flow and releasing tension from tissues. The results are similar to those of a yoga class, allowing you to feel relaxed and calm in body, mind, and breath.”

2020-06-19_0004.jpg

I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone and everyone! Bridgett is amazing at what she does. You can see more about what services she offers by taking a peek at her website. www.bridgetterickson.com

Brotherly Love and Life {Studio Session}

Having two boys myself makes is especially fun to take photos of boys and see the sweet brotherly relationship. These little guys were no exception. And hey, guess what?! You wouldn’t know it (but I’ll tell you)… this session started out with mom and dad arriving only to realize their little guy had a blowout on the way over (and not the good hair kind) that resulted in poo on his cute pants and that the matching bowtie was left somewhere between their home and the studio. But, as always, we go with the flow! That’s just life!! So we wiped off the pants and went with it. A little poo doesn’t scare this lady away! And the missing bowtie, you would never know. Best part of the poopy pants?! Stripping down to a diaper and seeing some very amazing baby rolls! Thanks Weiss Family! It was a please as always to see you and your sweet family!

Happy 2019 & Thank You! (and some Cute Puppy Pics)

First of all, how is it ALREADY a month into 2019 and I am just finally remembering to post this?! I guess that’s what a new Fur Baby, the Holidays, Winter Break and the Polar Vortex does to a mom’s brain! But without further ado, her is one of my very favorite posts of the year! At the end of each year I take a peek back to each and every photo session I did and pick one image sticks out to me as my favorite from the session. It never ceases to make me smile, sometimes tear up and pretty much just remind me of how awesome my job is! So, THANK YOU ALL for an awesome 2018. Here it is!!! Can you find yourself?

And if you’ve made it this far, you also get to see MY new baby’s first photos. Here he is in all of his cute furry glory. Introducing the newest member of the Manning Family, Charlie.

He is 4 months old in these photos and is some sort of mix of lab and pitbull and maybe something else (we are just not sure). We adopted him from the Humane Society a couple days before Christmas and he has been an amazing and fun addition to our family. The boys love him dearly and he is my snuggle buddy and Jim tolerates him (actually Charlie is curled up in Jim’s lap as I type). He originally came to Minnesota from Mississippi so hasn’t been in love with the terrible winter weather we’ve been experiencing! I also realized he blinks a lot in photos which is adorable too.

I hope you’re all enjoying the winter and can’t wait to see you again soon!!
