gummy smiles…nils

i heart this age…nils was the sweetest.  full of smiles and rolls.  and, his parents were just as sweet.  watching the two of them interact with their baby boy melted my heart.  i really love it when a photo speaks words and emotion to me…and, the photos below of nils and his parents do just that…you can just feel the love.  what a beautiful family…thank you so much bryan and katie.  it was such a joy to meet you three.

happy birthday shilo…

i love first birthday cake shots…super cute and super messy.  we were prepared for a major mess, but mr. shilo was a very clean cake eater.  🙂  he seemed to enjoy the flavor on each of his tiny fingers…what a peach.  happy birthday little guy!

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…
