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 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?
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…..
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.
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 Miss *I* and her mom on Monday which was a lovely fall day. What a hoot this little toddler is! Soooo sweet and adorable! I’m a little late on my sneak peek- but hopefully you’ll find it worth the wait!
Anyone who’s ever met my kids- knows they can talk. I mean…TALK. They are insane chatterboxes. It’s rare that I run into a family with kids as chatty as mine. Up till now the only kids I’ve met that could outchat mine- are my friend Sara’s (kids seen here) These 3 sisters were such a hoot! Endless chitchat and verbal energy that had me laughing, just because I felt so at home. Besides being able to tell me lots and lots of stories- they were also just completely sweet and fun to be around.
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.
Seriously…his hair…just sooooo cute
This was the very last image I captured and I think it might be my favorite
