On the Run with Miss O

First things first.  Someone needs to figure out a way to bottle a child's energy.  I would buy that. 

Meet Miss O.  I met her and her Mama at Silverwood Park in St. Anthony on a beautiful late afternoon in May.  I've taken pictures with little Miss O on several occasions, and after her mom and I had a good laugh over an embarrassing moment (self-induced) from a previous session, we got down to the business of making silly faces, playing and having all kinds of fun.  Miss O is super cute with an infectious smile.  And on this day she was all about exploring.  And I was all about chasing her, everywhere, in that adorable dress.  Isn't that dress so sweet?  Here are some pictures from our session. Enjoy!

Blue Eyed Beauties

First of all, one thing I love about this family is that when I arrived at their house Mom already had all the furniture pushed to the middle of the living room because she knew I'd immediately start rearranging everything. What can I say, she knows me! I had a great time playing around with Alex while her baby sister, Morgan, caught up on some beauty rest. We had a tea party, jumped on the bed, and talked princesses. I think all my Saturdays need to kick off that way. Here are some pictures from my session with a couple of beauties...

Morgan wasn't really handing out smiles that day, but she's still pretty dang cute without them.So I know this is a little headless horseman-ish, but it is a shining example of the big sister/little sister dynamic.Thanks for the fun, ladies!

Cutie Patootie

I have a really great job. I get to hang out with little beauties like Chesney and play and laugh. I'm a glorified clown with a camera! :) Chesney was fresh and ready for our session. She was just waking up from a nap when I arrived, which was great because she needed her energy for her four outfit changes (love it)! Thanks for a fun session, Chesney...and Mommy, too!

Chesney was not totally diggin' the great outdoors but she was a trooper and we got some sled pics. There was a pretty chilly breeze that day. I am SO ready for spring!

Twins in a Tub

So anyone who has recently had a toddler session with me knows I'm going through a bit of a bathtub phase. My session with the always adorable twins, Ruby and Josie, was no exception. In fact, almost our entire session was in the bathtub due to the fact we were getting dangerously close to naptime and the tub seemed to be their happy place. Love, love, love Ruby's smirk in this first pic...priceless!Ruby checking out the suds on her hand.She's hiding it well but Josie's having a blast.Our brief departure from the bathtub...
Great session with a couple of my favorite little ladies. Did I mention Ruby is my Goddaughter? She is. I promise to put some clothes on you gals sometime between now and your senior pictures ;)

My playdate with Lucy

I love my sessions with Lucy and her family. They're always a lot of fun. This time I got to hear Daddy serenade his little lady with a song on the guitar he wrote just for her, and watch Lucy crawl around chasing cats and chewing on anything she could get her hands on!

I know that we don't want them as we get older, but I LOVE side rolls on babies!! Any kind of rolls on babies, actually!

Thanks for a fun session, Lucy! Looking forward to your one year session. I'm sure there will be dancing!

My playdate with Josie

Here's a beautiful little lady I've been taking pictures of since she was in her momma's tummy! Red hair and blue eyes...just like big brother (who had a blast hiding behind all of my equipment during our session!). Thanks for all the smiles, Josie!
