What a lucky person I am to spend my morning watching you sleep so peacefully little one…

A Moment Shared…

Posted on March 3, 2012

It was fun to catch up with this sweet, mellow boy and his family this morning.  I love this special moment from the end of our session. Henry giving smiles to his mama and grabbing his daddy’s hand at the same time. The light peeking through to highlight the sweet look on his face was perfect.

I spent a morning with Jason and his family at the Guthrie Theater a few weeks ago.  I love the rich colors, reflections, and cityscape backgrounds the Guthrie has to offer.   This was my 3rd session with Jason.   It’s been so fun watching him grow and getting to know his family better!   Take a peek at his 1 year and 9 month sessions!

Saturday was the beginning of a wonderful photography season.  I’ll call it the warm season.  It is again warm enough to take outdoor photos here in Minnesota!  I spent the afternoon at the Peace Gardens with Georgia and her family.  What a beautiful day to play around and explore for a 5 year old!

I spent a few minutes with my friend and her son Jack today. We wanted to squeeze in a quick photo shoot between preschool pick up and naps. Jack couldn’t have been more ready! He was full of smiles and adorableness.


You may recognize Jack and his mom from my website. Only a few more days and these pictures will be a year old as will this smiley little boy!
