Girl Power- Newborn and Big Sister

These two beauties came down to the studio for a session and were just fabulous!
Two of my favorite ages, newborns and 2yr olds. Yes- hard to juggle as a parent, but FUN to photograph as a photographer :)

YAWN!

SO sweet and peaceful:

Big Sister

My personal favorite from the day!

Thanks P family for such a great session- I look forward to photographing little A at her big milestones over the next year!

Chicago Minis- Siblings Galore!

This summer was my 3rd annual visit to Chicago- to visit friends, and then while there to do a few mini sessions of friends and friends of my friends! It’s really become a lot of fun, and I love seeing so many of the same families each year. Especially when there are new siblings from the year before!



and one last one- because it’s a favorite :)

Round one- the rest will be “peeked” another day :)

Thanks again to all the Chicago families for allowing me to capture your sweet little ones :)

Double the Delight- Twin Toddlers

Meet Rylan & Elsie- two insanely CUTE 17m old twins who I had the pleasure of photographing last week. My blog readers know, that I have a special love for toddlers- and these two renewed all those feelings! Why do I love toddlers so? For all the reasons they are exhausting! You can’t get them to do what you want, they have their own agenda- but when they are happy and joyful it is SO real, and the same for the quiet tender moments…that take my breath away. There is nothing more honest, than the emotions of a toddler. Which is what makes them SO much fun to photograph (and yes, harder too- but I love a challenge!)

……AND FREEZE! (oh how this one cracks me up!!)

Elsie is a little more on the cautious side, but the bubbles helped :)

Rylan was pretty much good to go from the minute he arrived:

Toddler Twin Power

Meet Callie & Campbell- 2yr old twins who are the perfect example of the typical toddlers- always on the move and ready to investigate everything they can!
Photographing 2yr olds is always challenging- which is partly why I love them so much, you can’t make them do anything they don’t want to do, and they know exactly who they are and what they want- which makes them so much fun to capture on camera :)

The duo bumping fists. I think this was the only 2min of the whole session they sat down (snack break!) :)

Doubly Delightful Duo

This family was SO much fun! Their energy, love for one other, and natural joy, really made my job easy-peasy! How did I get so lucky?!

We spent a lovely evening out at the MN Landscape Arboretum- last year I purchased an annual photographers pass and it was one of the smartest decisions I’ve made, as it’s become one of my favorite places for sessions.

One to the sneak peek!
Meet the dynamic duo- 4.5yr old twins, Anna-Sofia & Sunniva
Could they be any cuter?
