fun in the sun…

it was the most beautiful summer afternoon and i got to spend it with olivia and paige…two little blondes who were adorable and sweet.  we had fun playing and i even got a few kisses during our shoot.  it doesn’t get it any better than that.  🙂  it was nice to meet you jen and matt…thank you!

ohhhh shilo….

i met with shilo at the end of may and during the transport from daycare to our session location, shilo fell deep into sleep.  well, you see, he was not so excited about waking up to take photos.  and, when the mean photographer:)  made mommy get him up, he was not so happy.  so, we tried and tried, but he was just sooooo sleepy.  i still caught some sweet moments, but shilo was just not quite himself.  so, we found a time that worked to meet again and it ended up being a month later.  sweet shilo was wide awake and full of smiles.  and, i honestly could not believe how much he had grown in just one short month.  he looks so different to me…more like a little boy.  oh my is he cute.  heidi and kyle…thank you!  can’t wait for shilo’s first birthday!

sleepy baby boy…

here’s where shilo was really getting mad at me.  🙂  🙂  but, gosh, he is still SO cute even when he is sad…and, it was at this point

that we decided it would be wise to try again another day…

so, we met again and look what happened!  smiles and TWO MORE TEETH!  🙂

lots more smiles to come soon mom and dad!

boys will be boys…minneapolis family photography

i had the pleasure of meeting these adorable boys a few weeks back.  we had a beautiful, hot summer day for our session.  i loved our meeting place…a perfect spot for little boys to explore, climb and do what they normally do.  tanner and hunter were sweet, well mannered and gave me a smile without me even asking.  pure joy!  🙂  traves and kelly, i loved visiting with you during our photo taking journey.  thank you for being so open to trying something new…i think it worked out well.  on a side note, check out kelly’s new engraved jewelry website…BEAUTIFUL! http://www.johnjamesjewelry.com/ kelly makes her jewelry by hand…she is so talented!

i love these shots…pretty, pretty mama with her boys…
