Baby Sam is ONE!

I got to hang out with this lovely crew in their beautiful neighborhood around Lake Harriet. For the second year in a row! Same babies, same spot, but a trip around the sun later. You can go here to see how tiny Elle and Sam were last year.

Elle is so full of energy, spunk and life. You can see it in her mischievous smile. I know she’ll be doing big things and going places - literally and figuratively! Sam was just a little nugget a year ago. Now he has a full set of curly blonde hair and sports the best toothy smile!

These images are reflection of why I love capturing family portraits, for the days are long but the years are too dang short!!

Meet Baby Maude!

How sweet is Maude and her ocean-colored blue eyes! Her mom and dad call her by Mimi and I think that's about the cutest thing. We had a blast having the Rose Garden all to ourselves and just loving on Mimi girl.

Betty and Steve, you have the most darling baby girl! Thank you for having me capture this precious milestone of Mimi being 6 months!

Psst! leave this lovely family a note here and if they get 10+ comments, they will get a special snail nail from me with a couple of my favorite images!

Krystal + Joe - Oliver's Half Birthday!

I could just get lost in Oliver's big brown eyes! Isn't he adorable? He was such a chill babe the whole evening, so naturally we let him hang out on a blanket and were able to squeeze in some lovely photos of just mom & dad, too!

Krystal + Joe - your baby boy is so darling! Also I cannot get enough of the way you look at each other. Love is definitely in the air and I feel lucky to have captured this special time of your lives!

Psst! Leave this family some love here, if they get 10+ comments on this blog post, they will receive a complimentary 8×10″ print of their favorite image!
