The 2nd *P* on the Block…

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 :)

The *C* Family at the Peace Garden

What a lovely morning in Minneapolis! The weather was very cooperative, and the kids were super troopers! Not to mention super duper cute too :)

 

How sweet is she? :)

The *H* Family Back for More! :)

Aren’t they just gorgeous?? I could spend all day hanging out with Miss *A* and her 3yr old stories and adventures- she’s just such a hoot! I had the pleasure of photographing them this summer- and it was fun to come back in the next season for more outdoor photos!

 

The whole family in their beautiful woods! Great suggestion J!

2yr old Princess *A*….and her little dog too

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. :)

Brotherly/Sisterly Love

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?) :)

Brothers at Quarry Hill

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.

My Favorite Delano Family

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!?
