“Big brother…”

I was in Minneapolis to photograph a beautiful baby girl who was recently welcomed home by her loving family.  When I arrived she was still sleeping so I took that opportunity to spend time with her big brother.  He and I had quite the time together…even in the pouring rain and I have to tell you that my heart melted when he offered to share his umbrella with me.  His little sister was just as sweet and I still can’t get over how bright-eyed and giggly she was through the entire session.

BFF…

On the first day of school in 9th grade I was seated next to the “new girl” in school as her last name happened to fall right behind mine on the roster.  Within 30 seconds of sitting down we were doing that hyper-speed-chitter-chatter 14 year-old girls are known for.  From that moment on we were joined at the hip and before long we were officially “BFF’s”.  While other friendships faded in and out over the years this one remained through thick and thin.  It’s been almost 19 years since the day we met and although we don’t talk as much as I’d like it seems we never miss a beat when we do get together.  I recently made a trip to visit her and meet the newest addition to her family…a beautiful baby girl!  So without further ado, I proudly introduce Baby “A” who was welcomed home by mom, dad, big brothers Chase and Jacob and watched over by big brother, Ethan, from above.

Content…

I can think of no better word to describe this little boy than content.  When I arrived for his session he was sound asleep which gave me an opportunity to visit with his mom and hear the story of baby “N”.  At one point in the conversation she pulled out some old family photos explaining that she had been looking through them to see if there was any resemblence to anyone from past generations.  I found the photos so intriguing and was inspired to re-create the vintage look of her treasured heirlooms on one of the shots from her session (see image 5).  Also, see if you can spot a little something poking through his bottom gum in image #1.  My guess is that it won’t be long and baby “N” will have a new tooth!

Smitten…

This beautiful baby girl had me the second I laid eyes on her.  Her mom handed her to me, she looked up at me with her gigantic blue eyes and gave me a huge, infectious smile…the rest, my friends, was history.  I knew that she and I would be fast friends.  At 2 months old I’d say she has pretty much mastered the art of modeling…she must take after her mommy.

And although she looked so pretty in pink we didn’t want daddy to feel left out…this one was for him!

What’s in a name? | Stillwater, Minnesota photography

Oh, how I love this little boy’s name…and the history behind it makes it even better.  Mr. “H” (as I’ll call him) is the grandson of a champion ski jumper.  When pregnant, his parents were visiting the U.S. Ski Jump Hall of Fame and through reading some history of the sport they stumbled across the name.   They mulled it over for a while and came to the conclusion that it was, in fact, “the name”.  Such a cool name for a cool kid!

So tired!

So new and oh, so tired!  Such a tiny little baby, but already full of personality.  He yawned, smiled, snored…he was really working the camera.  Ha!  Congrats again on your newest addition!
