Benjamin

Oh Benjamin! 🙂 I’ve known his mama for many years, we went to the same high school and worked together at Old Chicago. She is quite the woman, going to school full time, working and being a mother. I have no idea how she does it! Benjamin is 2 years old and is becoming such a man! Here’s a little look for his beautiful mama! 

 

Riley + Brodie

I first photographed these two when Brodie was just a fresh peanut, now he’s 6 months old and rocking an awesome mohawk!! Riley is still as entertaining, intelligent and adorable as ever. She colored me some very beautiful pictures including a green and yellow heart, for the Packers of course. When I asked her what she thought about Brett Favre joining the Vikings she said, “Booooo”. Her dad has taught her well! (I must disclose I am in NO WAY a Packers fan!) Mom and dad wanted to get some shots of the kids because these two are meant for modeling…those faces, those eyes, oh and did I mention their long eye lashes?

Mason & Ty

This past weekend was insanely busy and I’m only about half way through editing all of the adorable families! So in the midst of that I wanted to show some of Mason & Ty. These two boys are nothing but fun and energy, definitely have no fear either but they have a lot of love for each other and their parents. I love to see older siblings take care and love on their young siblings 🙂 It’s just sweet! It was really nice to meet you S family, here’s a quick look! 

Isabella is almost 1!

Isabella is turning 1 in less than a week and she’s so lucky she gets to have 2 birthday parties, which means twice the fun and twice the messy cake goodness 🙂 

I got to see Isabella again this past weekend when the weather was absolutely gorgeous outside. We discovered a new little area on the parkway and got some great shots of her. This little lady is quite the walker…. she’s pretty much running! She’s so cute carrying her papa bear every where we went, chasing after the other dogs on the parkway and smelling the beautiful flowers. It was so nice to see you D family, hope you had a great weekend and the birthday parties go great with lots of messy cake 🙂 

Guess who’s turning 1? Isabella!!! 🙂 

Michael is 1!!

Michael is officially 1 year old!! I don’t even know where to start with this family, there honestly aren’t enough words to express how much I adore them! They are the most genuinely nice people I have met, I left Friday evening thinking, “gosh I can’t wait to see them again!” 🙂  Michael has gotten so big since I last saw him just a few short months ago, he’s walking and has this  new “scrunch” face which is to die for!!! Thanks again S family, these are just a few of my favorites!! So many more sessions to post on the blog this week, hope everyone had a great holiday weekend! 

Seriously, cutest scrunch face EVER?

Mary

I hope you’re ready, hold on to your hats… there is about to be an explosion of cuteness on the blog! It’s been a busy weekend so far, but lots of fun! I met up with Mary on Friday down at the Rose Garden near Lake Harriet. It’s such a beautiful area that I didn’t even know existed, I can’t wait to go back and see all the roses in full bloom. Mary has such a bubbly personality and is full of energy and smiles, as you can see! It was really good to see you K family, hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend!!!  There will be many more blog postings to come this weekend, so like I said.. prepare for even MORE cuteness! 🙂

Will – Getting Big

You saw Finn the other day and how much he’s grown, I also got to see his cousin Will that day! Will still has those huge blue eyes that blew me away before and they seem to have gotten bluer, if that’s even possible. He’s definitely on the move though, he’s got the army crawl down and I think he might be either a basketball or a football player… I can’t really figure out which one he likes more! 🙂  Thanks H family for having me over, it was really good to see you again! I can only imagine the next time I see Will he’ll be walking all over the place! 

Finn – 6 months

I still cannot believe that in just a few short months Finn went from being this tiny little baby to this little man 🙂 He’s still got those gorgeous blue eyes that dazzle every lady walking by and he’s definitely got the flirting down! He’s become so expressive and his personality is just beaming through in the pictures, not to mention those muscles!  It’s always good to see you S family, thanks for having me over! Hopefully next time it won’t be as windy!

Finn – Quick Look

Remember him at just a couple of weeks old?

 

Look at him now:

 

Can you believe it? Finn is almost 6 months old!  I just got home and wanted to share a quick one before I’m off to see his cousin Will today!

There will be many more to come of this blue eyed boy 🙂

Chloe

Beautiful blue eyes… check. Cutest dimples ever… check. Princess pink tutu… oh my CHECK!

Saturday morning, during the cold, Chloe, her parents, grandma and I made the trip to the Arboretum for our shoot. Not all the flowers have started to bloom there but the grassy areas were so green to our surprise! You’ll just have to see for yourself! I am in love with her tutu and for those moms out there you can find it at Oh Baby! in Wayzata or Von Maur in Eden Prairie! It’s the perfect accessory for any little girl!

Thanks again C family for letting me take pictures of Chloe, she’s such a doll!

*I can officially announce that Chloe is going to be a BIG sister! Congratulations to you all, I can’t wait to meet the newest bundle of joy! 🙂
