Gorgeous Fall Day with the *H* Family

In MN Fall weather is so short, but when it’s here it’s just soooo lovely! We were lucky to have a gorgeous day for their session! One of the last lovely days of the season- considering it’s currently snowing just to the west of us :)

 

Big brother *C*- isn’t he handsome?

Little Man Blue Eyes- 9m Photo Session

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!

Chatty, Chattier and Chattiest :)

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. :)

Best. Hair. EVER. Minneapolis Brothers

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.

Sweet 1yr old Miss *P*

Okay seriously- is she not just the cutest thing?? Those bottom teeth just kill me! Miss *P* was a little unsure of the whole being photographed thing, but she warmed up to it, thanks to her parents great ideas to get her laughing!

I went to grab a few for the sneak peek but couldn’t stop- there just so many adorable ones! So they get an extra few :)

Must start with my FAVORITE!

Her expression just cracks me up!

Mr. & Mrs. Personality

This brother and sister duo were hysterical- talk about personality! I had so much fun capturing their antics :)

 

 

The Dynamic Duo

 

When I uploaded my files to my computer and saw this one- I instantly laughed- it’s SO the perfect photograph to explain today. :)

The big brother:

 

Miss Spunkalicious in her favorite outfit:

 

If I’ve ever done a photoshoot for you, and you have little ones- you know 1st hand that I have a little bag of tricks I bring along…and usually one or two of them will end up in a photo. This one makes me smile, because Mr. C is the FIRST child to successful guess correctly during my “What animal am I hiding?” game. (I give hints- and they have to guess who’s about to pop out of my bag…”He’s gray..likes to swim in the ocean, has flippers and a tail and says “Arrrrk-Arrrrk”) For some reason my seal has stumped every kid up till now :) He was very proud to be the 1st to guess it!

Okay- I admit it…I have a weakness for 2 things when I photograph small children. Feet…and eyelashes :) I normally like eyelash shots in b+w but for some reason I’m digging this one in color too….

Loring Park on a GORGEOUS Day!

I’ve never been to Loring Park in Minneapolis before, so when D’s mom chose it for our location- I was excited to scope it out. What a GREAT park!! We had the perfect weather too! I had a great evening with D- chasing him all over the park. Such a sweet boy- with an easy-going nature. I love that his mom brought along his soccer ball and his Jedi Lightsaber! It’s so fun to include things they love- esp boys at this age who can be tough to photograph :)

3 Months of Sweetness- Baby E

Little baby E is all of 3months old and just a cute patootie! Her parents say she’s a pretty serious baby- but she did crack us a few smiles :)

 

This was my first shot of the day- CRACKS ME UP!

Daddy is SO funny! :)

I think is my favorite…..

Proud parents

The whole family- doggie too!

The M & M Sisters

These two sweet little things were so much fun! Big sister is 3, and had so many things to tell me and show me. Her smile is just contagious! Little M, recently turned 1, and like all 1yr olds- had far to much to do and see than be bothered to be photographed- but I love a challenge!

Isn’t she a doll???

 

The adorable big sister who unlike her sister LOVED being photographed

I love little one’s eye lashes…

Pure sweetness!

I’ve said it before…sibling shots are the hardest! Thankfully you can always count on a walking shot to at least get them in the same frame… :)

Why I love Minneapolis- Meet Princess *P*

Having previously spent many years working in South Minneapolis, it has a particular fondness for me….and in my current vocation, I love it for another reason- GORGEOUS lighting and scenery! Of course- today, that is in part to the lovely home and awesome landscaping of the N family. Not to mention their beautiful little girl. Meet their precocious 2yr old- who I had SO much fun with!! When during a photo session you can go from poking at spiderwebs outside, to a tea party inside- it’s a great day :)
