remember that maternity session i was going to have .. but instead ended up taking riley to the studio? well .. it ended up being a false alarm and a week later we were able to get some images done … and i’m finally able to get them blogged!

and then 2 weeks later i was able to meet this little sweetheart .. isn’t she just precious!

congratulations again mom & dad and big sisters .. i’ll be in touch when the rest of the gallery is ready!

happy 100th day minneapolis baby photography

little miss “L” came in to commemorate her 100th day (or “Baek-il” as it is known in Korea) with a session at the studio. and even though mom said she is usually a pretty animated girl .. miss “L” decided that she didn’t like my camera and was not going to give me those smiles. nope .. i got spit bubbles instead (but aren’t they adorable!) …

luckily mom was able to get some smiles out of her while she was hanging out on the couch …

and then dad was showing miss “L” the baby shoes that he once wore .. i don’t think she was impressed .. but what a precious moment to capture!

and don’t worry mom & dad .. i peeked at some other images and she did give me more than the spit bubbles .. i hope you’ll be pleased! and thanks again for bearing with me through the heat in the studio .. next time we’ll have to try it at your place!

i had the pleasure of meeting miss m on tuesday for her newborn session. i had taken her sister’s newborn images about 2 years ago so it was fun to come back and see the newest member of the family ..

and she was just a doll with the cutest little face!

she did really well too .. after some mama milk she finally zonked out and slept like .. well .. a baby! you can tell she is the second child .. mom and dad are moving back to their hometown and were packing as we did the session and the noise didn’t faze this little one at all .. doesn’t she look so comfortable here.

j & k .. thanks again for having me out to capture this special time in your life. i hope you had a safe and uneventful move back to your hometown .. and that miss L was feeling better for the trip!

this little newborn girl was just the best .. such a tiny little thing and just so beautiful too! i loved the eye contact we got here.

for this session we were going for more of a lifestyle feel .. where we concentrated on capturing the interaction between miss “F” and her family. and just like any portrait session with me the atmosphere is totally laid back, with plenty of times for breaks and snacks and just hanging out. with this newborn session there was not as much “posing” of the newborn .. but just letting her be as she might when just being with mom & dad …

or big brother!

thanks again mom & dad & TNT for hanging out with me and sharing your sweet little girl! i’ll be in touch when the rest of the gallery is ready!

this sweet little guy had just turned 4 weeks so he was a little “old” for getting the typical shots you can achieve with a younger newborn (i like to get newborns in before 10 days if possible!) .. but little “P” still did great for us. i’m glad i was able to capture this shot .. mom mentioned how cute it was when he did that with his lips .. and i have to agree!

mom was worried we wouldn’t get anything and i have to admit that mr. “P” was a feisty one (and adorably so!) but with a lot of patience we got this image .. doesn’t he look so content here?

hope you enjoy your peek mom & dad .. mom i enjoyed chatting with you yesterday .. hope “P” slept soundly for you that afternoon! i’ll be in touch when the rest of the gallery is ready.

goodbye 2010 .. it’s been a great one!twin cities children’s photography

admin — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 19:31:23 +0000

but before the year is done i have to say thanks .. to my friends & clients who trusted me to capture their families!

from the smallest .. those newborns who made their appearance in 2010 .. thank you for allowing me to enjoy and treasure the wonderful beginning of a life!

to the older ones .. those high school seniors who will be embarking on a whole new experience come next fall .. thank you for giving me a glimpse of what is to come for my own children!

to the children in between .. those who i have seen grow from a newborn to those whom i just met .. thank you for allowing me to enjoy and capture the wonderment of childhood!

to the families .. from those newly created to those with who’ve been around a while .. thank you for allowing me to experience and capture those connections!

but most of all .. thank you for letting me capture you ..

from stuck out tongues .. to surprised expressions .. to the “are we done yet” faces .. to the “oops .. i shouldn’t have done that” moments

to complete silliness!

for that is what life is all about .. just being ourselves and enjoying every moment of it .. and that is what i strive to capture!

so goodbye 2010 .. and thank you again to all my friends & clients, i look forward to 2011 and know it will be just as full of life .. happy new year!

miss “E” was just the sweetest newborn .. only 7 days old and very curious and awake during most of the session .. but so content too!

towards the end she started to get a bit sleepy and we managed to get a few sleepy shots .. i just love this one and how she posed herself!

mom .. it was a pleasure to meet you and little miss “E” .. she really is just the cutest little thing! hope you & dad enjoy the sneak peek and i’ll be in touch when the gallery is ready.

i’m so happy for our neighbors and friends as they welcomed their second little boy into their hearts and home on the 14th of march!

little J was so 10 days old here .. and wide awake and not too sure about me in the beginning of the session ..

but then he started to get more comfortable .. and tired ..

and after a bit of holding and snuggling (my favorite part of the job ) he finally conked out ..

but still managed to check up on me now and then!

congrats again mom & dad and big brother .. i’m looking forward to watching this little guy grow up!! i’ll be in touch when i have the rest of your gallery ready!

this little one was just 5 days old today .. brand-spanking new and as sweet as can be! and when i arrived at the house dad had golf on the tv .. so i set up right there in front of it (well .. that area did have the best light) and enjoyed watching the british open .. OK not really since i couldn’t keep my eyes off of this little face

i hope you enjoy the quick sneak peek mom & dad .. i enjoyed meeting you both and little H .. hope his appointment went well.

i’ll be in touch when your online gallery is ready.

sneak peek — sweet lil’ Aminneapolis newborn photography

admin — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 02:34:51 +0000

i met this little sweetie and her mom this morning .. and it was so endearing to see how smitten mom was with lil’ A .. but can you blame her ..

look at this little face ..

we tried to get one with their first baby .. but he wasn’t having too much of it .. of course this was after he’d been shooed away a few times!

mom and dad .. i hope you enjoy the sneak peek .. it was a pleasure spending the morning with you and little A .. she certainly is a keeper!

miss L’s sneak peekmaple grove newborn photography

admin — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 19:07:57 +0000

yesterday i had the pleasure of meeting this sweet little newborn girl, who made her debut into the world exactly one week earlier!

and though she’d wake up pretty much each time after i moved her into a new pose .. she was content to just look around till she was sleepy again .. and then when we thought we had her back asleep .. she’d make sure i was still there …

so then she would nurse a bit and go back to sleep .. and we’d do it all over again LOL .. but oh so worth it .. don’t you think?

thanks again for an enjoyable morning mom & dad (and grandma) .. hopefully little “L” slept some good solid hours for you later in the day (or even better .. at night!) enjoy the sneak peek and i’ll let you know when the rest of the gallery is ready!

another sneak peek – baby Eminneapolis newborn photography

i had the pleasure of photographing another sweet little newborn girl this morning .. and i just had to come home and proof a few images. plus i knew that once my kids were home from school there’d be no computer time for me .. seems they need it more and more for homework!

anyway .. mom was great and let me take over her house and hold little E .. i almost got her to sleep but handed her off to mom to finish the job! and then we got down to some business .. which little E did so well!

enjoy the peek!

she was wide awake when i arrived and very interested in what i was doing ..

i was glad to have caught these pursed lips .. so cute

zonked!

this is the first of the newborns from my fresh faces call ..

little H did fabulous .. and it was such a pleasure to meet her family .. her parents couldn’t be any kinder and she has a sweet older brother who will be 3 soon. and while talking found out that little H’s paternal grandmother was my oldest daughters’ preschool teacher when she was 4 .. i love coincidences like that!

anyway .. hope you enjoy your sneak peek mom and dad and i will be working on the rest of the images this week!

and a funny outtake .. peace man!
