the third time is a charm…saint paul family photography

we cancelled and cancelled again…and ended up wit the most beautiful fall day.  i am so happy we were patient and waited for the perfect day.  sweet benny and claire :: i loved playing with you.  you are so adorable and both have the most lovable smiles.  it really is hard for me to believe that it has already been three years ago since i first photographed your tiny little peanut bodies all snuggled together on a blanket.:)  thank you, m family and thank you matt.:)

beautiful…saint paul family photography

i love this session and what i love most was the imperfectness of it all.  i mean that in the most positive, wonderful way.  it is so real, so unscripted, so natural and so beautiful.  nothing is posed…it is just a night in the field with a beautiful family loving one another and playing.  this is real life…a family how they really are.  i believe this is how photography should be.  remembering your family and the special moments of your family simply being a family.  the moments when your little ones were small enough to snuggle, pick up  and comfort.  you will look back and remember exactly how you felt at that very moment just by looking at the photo.  the schuster family has been long time clients of mine.  i adore them and have loved watching their family grow.  they truly have the most lovely relationship with one another…it is so fun to capture a few of their sweet family moments.  thank you joe, summer, max, otto and wren…you are very special to me. xoxo.

sweet simon…

i love everything about this family session…the love that radiates between this family makes me smile.  since there are so many that i love, i am just going to share a bunch.:)  this is a perfect example of why i heart my job so much…thank you des and steve.  your simon is such a love and i am so happy that he is home with you.

isla catalina…

sweet isla…those big brown eyes of yours are going to get you into trouble one day:) you are sweet, sweet, sweet.  it has been a joy to photograph you over the last year and getting to know your wonderful mommy and daddy.  i will miss seeing you all every six months, but hope to see you again in the near future.  until then, you keep smiling and growing big.:)

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!
