it really does not get any better than arriving at a clients home and being greeted with a friendly hug.  what a sweet, loving family this is…  🙂 i took photos of these sweet little twin boys when they were just little tiny peanuts.  and, they still are so tiny, but have changed so much.  i just adore their parents and they literally had to push me out the door because i enjoy talking with them so much!  🙂  it has been a joy to photograph ollie and finn…thank you so much sam and ryan!

i am going to try something fun and new for this family!  i would LOVE to see more comment made on my blog!  if this blog post reaches 25 comments, (at the bottom of the photos), ryan & sam will get a free 8 x 10 portrait.  SOOOO, leave a comment and let them know how adorable their little finn and ollie are!  🙂

we spent last saturday afternoon and evening with great friends…it was so fun and with eight little ones, there were not too many dull moments.  it is so nice when you can go quite a long time without seeing friends and then you get together and it is like no time has passed…this is the best kind of  friendship.  🙂 thanks for a great saturday my sweet friends…i miss seeing you all and wish we all lived closer…and now here are a few photos from our fun day… 

well, it is mid july and we have had some very odd weather here in MN…normally it would be quite warm at this time of year, but the morning of this shoot was a very chilly 60 degrees and very windy….burrr…these three adorable little ones were little troopers and were so sweet and so well behaved. you will love seeing their amazing eyes!!  just beautiful! i had so much fun playing with them and also meeting their mom.  three little ones under the age of 4!!  i think you are amazing, kelly!  🙂  it was so fun to meet you all and i hope to see you all again!

meet ava, owen and ty…they are cousins and adorable.  ava and owen live in eau claire, wisconsin and they came to visit tyler.  🙂  little owen was on the move, but we managed to catch a few sweet little moments with him sitting still.  little ava was so darling with her little cousin, tyler.  she could not stop hugging him and kissing him and telling him secrets.  very sweet…erin, thank you for making the trip…it was so nice to see you and the kids.  and, miss maria…seeing you and ty twice in a week was great!  🙂

sweet kylie ray turns one this coming week so her mommy and daddy came to saint paul last week-end to have photos taken of this special milestone…and, beautiful, big sister kate came along too.  these little girls are the daughters of my very dear friend, faith…she was my first college roommate at iowa state. we have a very special friendship that is such a blessing in my life.  faith and steve…i had such a wonderful afternoon with your family and loved that our families could play for awhile too.  kate and kylie are perfect little creations.  🙂
