3 Peas Photography- the Blog: Minneapolis MN Children’s Photographer – Baby, Child, Family

Miss M and her parents survived a very warm evening, with crazy mosiquitos, for a super fun session. It’s a new location that I’ve been wanting to try and it really is a GREAT one so I’m excited to go there again! The lighting was sooo lovely, and of course Miss M is seriously ADORABLE!!

I love when they clap for themselves! :

Thanks for a fun evening! Hopefully you didn’t end up with TOO many bug bites

Oh how I loooooooove toddlers!! They are just so much fun to photograph! I love how unpredictable they are, and how completely true to themselves they are- you can’t get them to do anything they don’t want to do, and that’s what makes them SO fun to photograph, as you never know what you’re going to get, but you know it’s going to be REAL

My personal fave from the day:

SO sweet!!

All toddlers love to RUN don’t they?

Isn’t she just adorable?? 2wks old and still all squishy …..I love photographing newborns while they still are still so bendy and new

I love her legs in this one…

I love how she’s grabbing her foot…and is all curled up

Cozy in her cocoon

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing these two kids for over 2yrs now, as Miss A has been in my kids’ class in preschool, Kdgtn, and now is in Boy#1’s class in 1st grade. She is an absolute HOOT and I think will be a future scientist Her little brother is the sweetest little guy- so inquisitive and full of joy, his giggle is such a great sound!

I love photographing babies with their parents- and often do a lot of mom+baby portraits. Dad’s are typically much more camera shy. When A’s mom told me she really wanted some skin-on-skin shots of their baby boy with his dad I was SO excited!! I love doing these type of images, as not nearly enough dad’s are willing! So he is going to be a little heavily favored in this blog post in hopes it entices more dad’s to go shirtless in their sessions!

I love photographing babe’s in arms as it’s a great way to show in scale how small they were!

Proud Papa

I LOVE this one and their arms

Mom had ordered this cute little bear hat on Etsy, and it was scheduled to arrive the day of the session- so she kept stalking the mailbox and sure enough towards the end of the session at just the perfect time it arrived!

So sweet…

The Thinker

A personal fave- I love how adoringly he looks at his momma

Thanks K family for having me over to photograph your sweet little bub!

It’s been 6months since I’ve seen Mr. *C* and oh how much he’s grown!!! At his newborn session (seen here) he was so tiny and new with lots of dark hair. Now he’s a mellow little guy who’s seems to be always content! 6months is one of my favorite stages to photograph- they can sit so proudly and have that perfect little cherub face

He loved the swing!

Momma love

With daddy

Future star?

LOVE this expression!

Just one more- aren’t his eyes just gorgeous??

M & E it was great seeing you and the little man again!

We are lucky enough to live across the street from this awesome family. Not only are the parents super fun, and not to mention incredibly nice and helpful, but their two sons are just the sweetest boys. The past 6m have been a little rough, and now that they are in the clear they wanted to document their family as they are right NOW. A great idea regardless of the time, but especially meaningful to them and I was honored to document it for them

Pretending the swing is a roller coaster

I love feet photos- there’s just something happy about them to me

I think this is MY favorite from the day
