My *K* was only 6days old and such the perfect little photo client! Isn’t he just GORGOUS?! All that beautiful hair and the loveliest eyes! Such a sweetpea! His momma is a super planner- she had this photo session scheduled months ago so all I had to do was wait for the call that he was here, and ready to be photographed! 
This cutie-pie was seen here only a few months ago- for her 3 month baby photos. Isn’t she a doll?? And I will admit I love her doggie- he shows me more love than my own dog!
Her daddy sure knows how to make her laugh!
I love music- and in particular am a fan of Cities 97 and have over the years always purchased their annual Sampler CD that benefits local charities. Now- people in the Twin Cities know- that these CDs literally sell out within 20 minutes. So- to be able to purchase one you have to either buy them on EBay for gads of money- OR stand in line early early in the morning outside, in the cold, waiting for Target to open so you can buy one in person.
My lovely husband does this for me. EVERY. YEAR. Stands in line at 6am for a few hours- so I can keep adding to my collection (yes- I actually have ALL 20!!)
I love you hon!
Oh- and my other happy moment- was I put the CD in the truck on the way to bring the kids to school and ALL 3 started signing along with the 1st song. I love our kids
MWAH!

This cheeky monkey has appeared a few times on my blog- here, here, and here as he belongs to my lovely friend Lynda. He’s at a favorite age of mine- 18months! I just love this age!
When this mom-to-be contacted me for a photoshoot for her hubby as a surprise for his birthday- I thought it was one of the sweetest ideas! He’s sure to love them. Isn’t she just a beautiful expectant mom?
One year olds are notoriously discerning in just who they will play with- so I felt honored to be let into her circle After being a little cautious of me and my big ole camera- she warmed up pretty quickly. I knew I was golden when she sat in my lap.
This one just makes me laugh
Isn’t she a cutie?
Her fluffy little duck hair is soooo precious!
She really loves this book!
Future architect?
Sweet Baby *T* is 6wks old and was so perky, alert and content! She like most 6wk olds loved to stretch out and kick her strong little legs Doesn’t she have beautiful eyes?! And those cheeks…..too cute!!
This was our 3rd attempt at a session, and they were determined to have it work- despite the freezing temps and sleet What SUPER troopers they were- I mean seriously- I’ve never met parents and an older sister so able to put on super happy and encouraging faces and it was believable!!! Cold weather be darned! Talk about super attitudes! We met at the Wayzata Depot, which I’ve never been to before but it’s pretty cool! I’ll definitely have to take my kids there sometime…when the weather is warmer
Thanks *G* family for being SO awesome despite the temps- you get a big gold star for positive attitudes! I still can’t believe you went out for ice cream after….I went home and had a nice big cup of hot tea!
In MN Fall weather is so short, but when it’s here it’s just soooo lovely! We were lucky to have a gorgeous day for their session! One of the last lovely days of the season- considering it’s currently snowing just to the west of us
Big brother *C*- isn’t he handsome?
Sweet Miss *L* who LOVED being photographed!
Baby *K* who was not so interested in being photographed
The entire lovely family!
Meet sweet Mr. P- who is the 2nd P on their street I’ve had the pleasure of photographing! His cute neighbor Miss P, has been seen here. I love shooting in Minneapolis, especially in South Minneapolis…the light there is just so yummy! As my blog regulars know- I have a special affection for toddlers…it probably stems from my years in college I worked as a toddler teacher (in south mpls no less!) but I just LOVE this age. I could have spent all day with Mr. P just listening to him and playing
Isn’t he just so adorable!!
The upside down turtle makes me giggle….
Sigh…..
What a lovely morning in Minneapolis! The weather was very cooperative, and the kids were super troopers! Not to mention super duper cute too
How sweet is she?
I just love those little toothers!
Miss *N* and her 3yr old smile
Mr. *W* and his TDF eyelashes…
Thanks *C* Family! 
Okay- I’ll admit it…..ever since doing J’s maternity session I’ve been excitedly waiting for this session. There’s just something about multiples- and especially newborn multiples that makes me a little giddy. I just love them! I love photographing newborns in general, but to do twins is just down right awesome!
Meet “The Boys” who are all of 8days old. They were amazing little troopers- and basically slept like logs the entire time I was there! I’d like to pretend that it’s because I’m the Baby Whisperer and really rock- but I know it’s because their mom and dad brilliantly had me come while they were still so little. Photographing newborns in those first 10days really makes all the sleepy poses so much easier!
So without further ado- The Boys
These hats….ahhhh they bring back memories. They actually belonged to my two boys and I have such memories of them wearing them in the NICU, and then at home. Seeing two little boys in them again made my heart happy I’m glad I found them recently!
Okay….I know…seriously…how insanely cute are they They really loved being all snuggled together.
Aren’t they just gorgeous?? I could spend all day hanging out with Miss *A* and her 3yr old stories and adventures- she’s just such a hoot! I had the pleasure of photographing them this summer- and it was fun to come back in the next season for more outdoor photos!
The whole family in their beautiful woods! Great suggestion J!
The girls
I love EVERYTHING about this photo….
Sweet little Miss W
Mom and A coming down the slide- I just love love LOVE this photo!
Why does Captain America look so sad?
Because Super-Dog just rifled through his back-pack and ate all his halloween treats from their school party….
Bad- Super-Dog- Bad!
C.A. (i.e. Boy #2) recovered quickly and has forgiven Super-Dog- as he even offered him some candy when they all got home from trick or treating.
Hope all your wee ones had a fun Halloween!
I had the pleasure of photographing this little man a few months back for his 6m photos- and what a superstar he was! Well Mr. F had to show off and be even MORE photogenic this time! It’s amazing how much he’s changed in 3months- click here to see him at 6m!
Why is he so happy? He’s looking at his momma of course!
Look at those sweet little toothers!
I love his little tongue in this one
