I just cannot get over her perfect little lips and those looooog lashes!! Isn’t she just beautiful! At 7wks Miss N was the perfect pumpkin, happy as could be, or sleeping soundly!
She has the most beautiful baby blues…
After a string of little babies it was fun to have a baby session with some chubby goodness! 
With her proud and sweet big brother, 2yr old *A*- isn’t he a doll?

And yes I am biased….but I also believe it to be true. Meet Isabel.
Isabelle belongs to one of my FAVORITE people in the whole wide world- my friend, and former college “roomie”- Jane. I have known Janer since we were stupid freshman at the U, and I honestly feel so lucky, to be able to still call her my friend almost 19yrs later. Since Jane married her sweetheart, she’s lived all over the country with him, usually on a coast somewhere- but now has come back to the midwest and is only 4.5hrs away. YAY! Now if only they could get a little bit closer….come on you two- you know you want to live in the Cities again!!
Okay- on to the pure perfection that is sweet baby Isabelle. 2wks old and honestly she was a true rock star. I could NOT have asked for a better little client!
I want to blow this up and hang it in my house. It makes me heart so happy:
I tried about 10times to get this shot- as she did not like to be curled up- but finally she gave in to my charms….
I could seriously look at her cute little face all day
I just love her cheeks!!
In her crib, with her special blanket
Sigh….
Okay- my roomies in attendance that day did not like this hat- but I think it’s adorable! 
She actually was awake very briefly….so we did get to see her beautiful eyes
And of course- her two loving brothers
and I had to add this one too because seriously…it’s SO fitting
I love you Janer!! I’m so happy for you and John. Your baby girl is just beautiful- but what truly makes my heart just swell is seeing you all together and how perfectly she completes your family
Oh- and Janer I changed the music just for you

Aren’t you loving all the twins lately?? I am! There’s just something about multiples that make me happy…probably because as a mom of multiples myself I of course have a soft spot, especially since I could kick myself for not getting professional photos done when my own trio were wee ones. Ahhh hindsight is truly 20/20. Okay- on to this adorable duo. Identical twin boys- 4wks old and sooooooo sweet! With 4wk olds I usually have pretty realistic (read: low) expectations, as 4-6wks can be a tricky age to photograph as babies are typically a little more temperamental because, well, that’s what they are suppose to be. They are often in that “don’t you dare put me down by myself” stage BUT these two were seriously FABULOUS!! It did take a little time, but they did get totally in sync and sleep at the same time and allowed us some very fun photos. Okay..less words, more photos, I know I know
It does not get much cuter than this…..it makes me sigh…
All snuggled up:
I love his little grin….
This one makes me smile…
I still can’t believe we pulled this one off…
When mom pulled these hats out- that she knit HERSELF I think I let out a squeal…
Thanks S family for a wonderful afternoon- your boys are so sweet and easy-peasy I was totally grinning the whole way home. My fellow photogs know that feeling..it’s oh-so-good

The P family was blessed with beautiful identical twin girls 4yrs ago….and AGAIN 4 weeks ago. I googled it and having two sets of identical twins is 1:70,000 chance! P family I think you should play the lottery as you seem to have a way with odds
The fabulous foursome:
Double Yawn:
These next two I just love- it’s like they are talking to each other and sharing secrets….and I can almost picture them years from now doing the same thing:
I love newborn feet…and I think this is so sweet with mom’s hand:
So sweet and peaceful:
Thanks P family for allowing me to photograph your beautiful girls!
I know….it doesn’t get much cuter than this does it These two sisters were so sweet! Newborn twins….it’s challenging enough to position, keep happy, and photograph ONE newborn, but multiples- really provide a super fun challenge that I was so excited to do it once again. Now either of these sweet baby girls as a singleton would have been a piece of cake! They really are super sweet babies- but for whatever reason this day were on different schedules of when they decided to be awake/asleep/and happy. We did get a few windows of togetherness….and that made it all so worthwhile Mom was very patient with the process, and given that most of my singleton newborn sessions typically take 2-3hrs…. 3.5hrs for twins isn’t too shabby!
I think this one if my fave…
V+E
Miss *E* and her amazing eyes….she spent almost an hour totally alert like this and just STARED at me- it was amazing! Her focus at this age is astounding- it’ll be interesting as she gets older if she continues to not want to miss any of the action.
Miss V was much sleepier….I just LOVE her little smile…
I love how their hands are making sort of a heart shape- how sweet is that?
Snuggled face to face
Thanks W family for having me come to photograph this amazing and fleeting time in your girls lives….you really are blessed- 5 beautiful girls- what a fun bunch they all are!

Typically when a newborn is 2-3wks old they are awake and wiggly….or awake and only happy when held. This sweet little punkin was the calmest, most relaxed baby I’ve ever met! Such a sweetheart- if he fussed it was literally for all of 2seconds as he would melt in anyone’s arms and instantly fall back asleep. He’s definitely a very happy and content baby!
At the end of the session myself, his mom, his dad and even his grandma were trying to get him to wake up so we could get some shots of his gorgeous eyes, but he would have nothing to do with it! It was hysterical. Finally he did open his eyes for a few seconds
Up first- the one I know mom was excited to see:
It’s no secret that I love textiles in newborn photography….but ESPECIALLY when they belong to the family and have some personal meaning. When mom showed me this scarf she had set aside for the session I was instantly in love….I want one for myself now!
I just love sleeping babies like this…..it always makes me smile. This one is for my friend Nancy who wanted to know what I wanted this blanket for
I just love his little mouth here….
This was during the time when mom was trying to wake him up…it makes me smile as I just find it so incredibly sweet.
D & N it was so lovely to meet you and sweet baby M- he really is just the sweetest thing! I rarely get baby fever anymore, but oh he sure did get me thinking about it again!
Seriously…..the hair!! I feel like most newborns born in MN are bald, so it’s always a treat to get a yummy newborn with a full head of hair! Mr C. was two weeks old on the day of this session and was just the most perfect little client. He was happily awake, and then conked out for some fun sleepy photos as well.
It’s amazing how small they are….in his daddy’s hands….
I just LOVE his little smile in this one:
His beautiful eyes…
I always ask clients to set aside any special items they’d like to have photographed- and esp love any personal knit blankets, etc that we can use at the session. Mom brought this beautiful hand-knit blanket that grandmother made and I was so excited to use it for some photos. The rings were also something that mom wanted to capture- and I think is a cute way to remember how little his hands really were!
The whole gorgeous family:
M family is was so great to meet you- and I’m so thrilled to be able to photograph little C at 6m and again at a year!
