Sneak Peak - {N} Family

What a great session this turned out to be...the night started out with me wondering if we were even going to be able to do this session. Right now, the mosquitos are horrible in my yard (where I do most of my sessions) so I had call and ask if they would be interested in moving to my Dad & Mom's, in town, as to avoid the mosquitos. Needless to say, they were a little better, but boy are they hungry this time of year around here. This was a quick session, but definately a keeper!
Let me tell you...this is picture heavy and I had more but thought I better eliminate a few ;)



And the main reason for this session was to celebrate little {A}'s 1st birthday!! You may remember the two younger kids from this session. Wow have they grown!!
Definately had so much fun with the outdoors cakesmach...and look at this outfit, a photographer's dream~

And I couldn't leave out some in this cute outfit too...


And look at those eyes...I tell you I am so lucky to get all these kids with beautiful eyes!!

And certainly not least...boys just crack me up! It is for sure not cool to take pictures, but I just love this age because just once in a while they will come back for "just one" {M} had to go grab his Twins baseball cap and come back for just one, but I ended up with 6 keepers. He is just so stinkin' cute I just can't wait to watch him grow, as he is going to be in Kindergarten with Kya this year.


Thanks {N} family for letting me capture your perfect kids again...and also for braving the wild beasts of Minnesota...the mosquitos!

Sneak Peak - {A} Family

It makes me so happy to know that my tiny graduating class of 16 has stayed so close. I still talk to every single one of them and when they come back home we are all sure to get together. Funny though how sometimes the ones that live the closest I get to see the least :( {A} family was so much fun to capture....I just loved the interaction of the boys and how much they loved to rile each other up! There is one family picture that shows this perfectly, but I figured I better show the formal one ;)

Look at how handsome these boys are....



And this little guy just reminds me of his mom so much!! (I do see his dad in him too but this is exactly how I remember his mom ;)



Thanks {A} family for choosing me to capture your family...and so happy we got to catch up!

Sneak Peak - {J} turns 2 & little brother {E} 3 mo.

I was so excited when I found out this family was going to have an addition....not only because they are a great family but because they are so darn cute. And those eyes....what more do I need to say!! We got to celebrate a few things this session..."Big" brother {J} was turning 2 and little bro {E} was turning 3 months. And let me tell you, can little {E} was so strong and let us capture some pretty cute photos. He would just sit there and stair....a photographer's dream :)


Hasn't he changed from his first year photos!! But those eyes sure haven't.

They had to bring along their gorgeous older sister for a group shot.


What a strong little guy!


And I just had to add one for Black and White Wednesday!! Didn't want to miss out ;)

Black and White Wednesday - Coming Soon....

I have been so busy lately with activities for my own kids and photo sessions that I have been slacking on my blog....but I couldn't help but add these two to the lineup of Black and White Wednesday on Lisa's Blog!! But I do promise you will be seeing lots of posts soon ;)
I, once again, got to capture my best friends girls...and they were lucky enough to add another little girl to the mixture. Miss {A} was so smiley and so much fun to capture...I just love her whole session!


More to come....

Sneak Peak - Little {S}

What a beautiful baby...and I just love when moms bring their own fun props along! She was a fellow etsy addict like me so it was so adorable. I first got to capture their older little boy about 6 months ago at his first bithday...now they brought their newest addition along.
I just had to use my newest prop form The Shed...I just love it that you can use it from newborns up to older children!

What a fun headband too!

And we couldn't leave {P} out of these....he was a pretty active little guy but this picture is almost as if she is looking up at him.

And just had to add one of {P}...he has the best smile all the time. He was just busy playing with his grandma's phone but still gave these sweet smiles.

Thanks {M} family!! So happy to have you back in the area and I have enjoyed getting to capture your wonderful children.

Sneak Peak - {S} Family

I was so happy to be capturing this family....I have taken of their kids before but never have gotten to of the whole family. And what a great family they are...you can just tell how much they love each other in every picture. And the kids....they did so great that it was really a quick session. But I would have to say that I captured everything that we wanted to...and then some!!

Seriously...I could just eat these kids up and take pictures of them all day!



And finally little K...we weren't going to take any of the kids individually because they just wanted the family pictures. Here I sat for about a half hour earlier in the day picking the dandelions out of my shooting location and when K got there...that is what she wanted to do...and I LOVED it! These turned out so adorable and I am so happy I took a few extras!!

Just look at those lips and lashes!

Thanks {S} family for coming back...we need to get the kids together to play again sometime soon! Miss seeing you at your old work ;)
