Sleepy

A couple more of Miss J…

 

Holiday Dazzle

I’m usually not so quick with sneak peeks but since mom and dad of this little 8 day old didn’t show a bit of first-time parent jitters when I suggested this shot today, and since I left them with a little girl full of glitter, they so deserve it.  More to come this week! 

 

 

Autumn Light

The leaves are almost all gone and soon photos of unbundled kids will be as well.  But don’t forget, we live in Minnesota so winter is half of our lives so bring on those who want their winter portraits all bundled in scarves, hats, sweaters, snowpants and sleds…

I keep thinking ‘this session will be my last in warm weather’ but since I’m still wearing flip-flops, it’s still warm.  Considering it’s November 5th, we’re doing pretty well!

The light during Miss E’s session was just about perfect.  Okay, it was absolutely perfect.  Maybe the light was just being extra friendly that day since it was leaving an hour earlier…  *sniff*.  Anyways, I know mom has been waiting for these and I’m behind in my posting so here they are…

Halloween Morn’

We didn’t stick little Miss L in her Halloween costume, but I still had plenty of scares from her trying to crawl headfirst off of everything!  And look how she’s grown! 

Here she is almost a year ago….

and all grown up…okay, she thinks she’s all grown up and independent.  Parents all know how that works….

 

Twins!

I’m sure these two (and mom and dad) were thankful we were all able to reschedule this session which was originally scheduled for Sunday (when it was snowing!).  They were still a bit chilly but after a bit of running around, it was all good and they were all cute.

  

 

She’s Here

Introducing my little niece, Baby A.  She’s just four days old and after the heat was hot enough for my little nephew to declare “It’s roasting in here”, a few feedings and plenty of patience, she slept.

No, She Couldn’t

…be any cuter.   Little Miss E’s mom very generously bid on my photo package that supported a local charity and our schedules finally worked out to squeeze Miss E in (you know those preschooler’s schedules!)

A Couple Cuties

What a perfect weekend for sessions!  Here are Miss P and her sister Miss P. 

This littlest one was a tough one to crack a smile! 

This little one loved to smile but I had to be quick to catch her in one of her ‘quiet’ moments!

Love the leaves…so did she!

 

The Two Fabulous Miss R’s

These two sisters came to their session all prepped with plenty of ideas of their own after having just watched America’s Top Model which is always very helpful!  So here is their public “Top Model” debut that I promised them so they could show all their friends! 

 

Laugh out Loud

After a session, I download my photos to my computer, burn a DVD so I don’t accidentally delete them and then take a closer peek than I did while driving home (I know, I’m trying to quit that!).  Good thing I’m usually doing all of this late at night because my stepdaughters would probably think I’m a huge dork or a little crazy, sitting on the couch, smiling and laughing while I go through the photos.  And looking over this session, I did laugh out loud.  There was a ton of personality between these two!  And thanks to mom who let me reschedule after I thoughtlessly booked the session the night before my husband left overseas for two months.  I really appreciate it!

I ‘extra huge puffy heart’ this photo below.  I love a lot of photos I take, not because I took them, but because the kids I get to photograph are so amazing and this one of the latest that takes my breath away.  I love her slight smile, her sparkly eyes and the way that one little piece of hair falls across her cheek.

And this one makes me laugh out loud.
