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

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?)

Sometimes I have a session, and it leaves me with a feeling of jealousy….why? Because I know I’ve just captured some sibling photos that I would LOVE to have of my own kids!!!! My friends often comment that they wish they could take photos like I do, well I secretly wish I could get as good a group shot of my own kids as I do of others! Sigh…. Sibling shots are notoriously harder to capture than individual photos- but these two…oh my….talk about EASY PEASY!!!
Chrissy I don’t know how you’ll ever choose!

This might be my favorite “throwing leaves” photo- EVER. Look at little *L*’s face!



And one of Mr. *L*- because I think it’s my fave….I just love the way he’s absent mindedly licking his collar at the same time mesmerized by the ducks in the lake…it’s just such the perfect childhood expression to me.

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?

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!?

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!

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

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.
