“Bud”

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!

One Year Old Divine Miss *M*

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?

The 2nd *P* on the Block…

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 :)

Little *L* Loves Leaves!

Isn’t she a DOLL??? So cute- and so the typical toddler- too busy to be bothered with photos- But she sure loved playing in the leaves! :) I love this time of year- everything just looks so golden and glowy!

1yr old *A* in Minneapolis

I first met *A* back in April for his 6 month photos and it was so great to see how much, and how little, he’s changed! Last time we met he really enjoyed being photographed, this time…not so much. Which is pretty typical for 1yr olds- they aren’t too keen on my big ole camera sometimes. But despite his apprehension and teething… I know mom and dad were a little worried as he wasn’t his typical happy self, but we did get some great smiles :)

Best. Hair. EVER. Minneapolis Brothers

I don’t know who wins- *L* and his gorgeous red hair, or his little brother *R* and his amazing windswept ‘do. They are both so stinking cute they had me grinning for the whole session with their sweet, happy, joyous personalities. The day was overcast which gave us perfect lighting for enjoying this notorious Mpls park.

Sweet 1yr old Miss *P*

Okay seriously- is she not just the cutest thing?? Those bottom teeth just kill me! Miss *P* was a little unsure of the whole being photographed thing, but she warmed up to it, thanks to her parents great ideas to get her laughing!

I went to grab a few for the sneak peek but couldn’t stop- there just so many adorable ones! So they get an extra few :)

Must start with my FAVORITE!
