Young Family Session - Two Sisters and Their Parents

Just a little sneak peek for this beautiful family, which includes two young daughters just about two years apart.


Anna has gorgeous, reflective eyes - she liked to give me quizzical looks, especially when we tried telling her there were cartoon characters in my camera. She's too smart to fall for that!


What is it about baby yawns that are so adorable? Little Claire letting us know she was about ready for a nap!

Pretty Polka Dot Baby - Minnesota Child Photography

This morning I had a session with a little girl I did pictures for last year as well. Her mom commented that a lot had changed - last year she was hoping her daughter would be able to sit up on her own long enough to get a few shots, and this year Mom was chasing her!

I don't know how I get so lucky, but my clients have the most gorgeous eyes on the planet, I think, and this girl was no exception. Her eyes are so blue, with a little violet in some lights! Just beautiful.

Here are just two of the images I've been able to get through so far - can't wait to have the whole gallery done!

Family Session - St. Paul Photography - Como Conservatory

Saturday morning this family and I braved the cold and rain for some portraits at the Como Park Zoo & Conservatory in St. Paul.

Why are they wearing sweaters and turtlenecks in June, you ask? They were hoping to use these photos for holiday cards in six months, but the weather helped out by giving us a record COLD high temperature of 52 degrees. Yes, that's fifty-two degrees. In June. Go Minnesota!

But despite all that, the little guy was in absolutely wonderful spirits for our entire session, and you'd never know how cold they might have felt by the warm smiles.

Expecting - Minnesota Maternity and Child Photography

This lovely mama is expecting boy #2, and wanted a short session to record her round pregnant belly and her "only" before he becomes an "oldest."
