3 Peas Photography: Minneapolis MN Children’s Photographer - Newborn, Baby, Child, Family

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!

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!

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!

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!

I love love LOVE this family photo!

Miss *A* was quite the trooper on this chilly and windy afternoon- but like most typical 2yr olds was go-go-go!! I just love this age- they are such a hoot to photograph, because they do what they want- and we’re lucky to be able to capture it! Most 2yrs olds I photograph rarely sit still for more than 3sec at a time- and Miss *A* was not an exception.

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

This duo belongs to one of my favorite people- we’ve been friends since- wow- 7th grade gym class. Nothing like bonding over junior high trauma to cement a friendship! Her two kids are also some of my favorite little people- because they are just so full of joy and personality and so so sweet.

Sweet Miss *M* wanted to be photographed “by the yellow flowers”

Mr *A* is like my own boys- tough to photograph but when you get a genuine smile it’s SO worth it!

And my beloved friend with her munchkins

OH- and Stephie- I changed the song just for you! (They’re doing a Halloween show here again- think we can ditch the kids T or Ting and go?)

How GORGEOUS are her eyes!!

This one makes me smile

Miss *B* and her beautiful smile

I love the way she’s nervously touching her neck while at the same time laughing…

Okay seriously- how ADORABLE are these two?? They started off a little apprehensive about the whole photoshoot idea, but warmed up pretty quickly and really had fun with it!

Showing some team spirit! T’s crooked glasses just CRACK ME UP!

Miss W and her brilliant smile

I. Want. To. Squeeze. Him.

What makes a 2 and 3 yr old smile like this? A jellyfish on my head of course.

And N- these are for you

I met *N* and her parents at their neighborhood park. I love shooting at locations that have personal meaning for clients- it makes the session that much more fun! Miss *N* had all sorts of stories to tell me about things she loves to do.

Is there anything more fun in the fall?

The family having a tickle-fest

They have been seen many times on my blog- baby *A* most famously as I photographed his birth into this world back in March- seen HERE. He’s now 6months old!! The big brothers boys C+C are two my kids favorite people- and always have a blast when they get together.
And that baby boy- isn’t he just delicious!?

The *S* family recently relocated to MN from AZ….and the day of their session was one of those perfect MN fall days that makes you so happy to reside in Minnesota. Truly just PERFECTION. It’s one of the little things about living here…we have an appreciation for Fall and Spring that people in other states do not. Come here for the winter and you’ll understand why

Anyhoo- on to the sneak peek…. is this family just not GORGEOUS!! Talk about photogenic and so easy-peasy to be around. They made my job a piece of cake!

Beautiful Miss *J* who’s only 7 but seems so much more mature and wise for her young years.

Spunky Mr. *A* who I greatly appreciated laughing at my silly puppet shows- this was I believe about a stinky skunk. Why is the word “stinky” so amusing to 2yr olds? I don’t know- but I embrace it!

This to me is the epitome of their ages….7 and so calm and posed…2 and ready to spring into action!

This just plain cracks me UP!

There’s just nothing like a walk through the woods in the Fall…

This one just makes me smile
