E's Two Year Photos!

I got to take some photos for G's friend E - she turns two soon! I *love* the pigtails! Isn't she adorable!





And here's a blast from the past! I took E's photos last year!

Park Pictures

I took my camera with us as G and I went to the park near our house; I just wanted to practice and play around. I ended up getting a few neat shots!

The S Family: Take Two

I recently took some family Christmas pictures for my friend's family - but the day we picked turned out to be COLD and WINDY. Let's just say the pictures showed it. So this week we redid them, and with much better results.

This little one is my son's best friend - and she loves to explore! We tried some photos with her sitting on her parents' lap, but then just followed her around. I think we still ended up with great shots! Enjoy!




And this last one is proof of how much of an explorer she is - I love her concentration, with the tongue out! So cute!

Sweet Baby W

I met sweet little baby W last May. He was so much fun to photograph. He was pretty sleepy, which makes for some sweet pictures. And a few times he started fussing and then all of a sudden he would just conk out; it was the wildest thing! Take a look.




And since he was a summer baby, his mom brought a little inner tube for a prop - fun! (And about 30 seconds before this shot was taken, he was crying - can you believe that?!)

Crisp Fall in MN

When we were in MN recently visiting family, we had a couple days of beautiful fall weather. We headed outside and I got some cute snapshots of G as he played outside!


And I can't decide if I like this next one better in color or black and white - thoughts?

T and G

My sister T and my son G (in his dragon Halloween costume) - how cute are they!?

T and Her Cats - Again!

While I was back home recently I got the chance to photograph my sister T and her two cats again - this time indoors. Here is what we got:

38 weeks 1 day

We just got back from visiting family in North Dakota and while we were there, my cousin asked me to take maternity pictures for her. I was honored to be asked! My cousin L's two children had mixed feelings about being photographed; they alternated between wanting to hug and kiss the belly and wanting to be far, far away from the camera!

I think we got some really nice shots! And what a gorgeous belly!

My New Favorite Picture

I found another gem when I was looking through G's fall pictures. I had just asked him how old he was. He showed me, but I snapped the picture a hair too late as he was looking down (not at me). But gosh, I so love it anyway!

And in case anyone is curious about the original shot, here it is:

I tweaked it in Photoshop and creatively cropped it. Pretty nifty, huh? Takes a boring picture to a new level, I think.
