Right before I flew back to Minnesota, I got to take some portraits of two of my favorite little ones. We met at a park and had much fun playing as the snow fell all around us. There was much eating of snow:
Some snowball throwing and snowman building:
And of course, some swinging!
What a great morning! Thanks for hanging out with me, you two.
After all that excitement, I had a great nap on the plane!
Happy Thanksgiving, blog-land! I’m home visiting my parents in Iowa for the long weekend. My family has a late Thanksgiving dinner, so I’ve spent much of the day editing photos. I’m getting hungry for dinner, though!
Yesterday, before I flew home to Iowa, I took pictures of Hazel and her parents who were in town from Colorado. We only overlapped in the Twin Cities for a short time, so we made the most of our session. Isn’t she a cutie?
See you guys on the slopes this winter!
Sunday I went out to Maple Grove to take children’s portraits for a former colleague of mine. There were two sets of siblings, smartly dressed in browns and pinks:
And everyone all together:
The boys were so well-behaved and handsome:
And the girls were blue-eyed and beautiful:
Of course with this many kids, there are bound to be some funny outtakes:
Thanks so much. It was really fun to meet you!
I had a quick family session in St. Paul this morning, so this family could get a few pictures of their daughter, Lily, for their holiday cards. I think they’re going to have a tough time choosing which photo to use, she’s just too cute in all of them. Here are a quick peek of those that caught my eye as I downloaded them off the memory card:
Look at those lashes!
Thanks for being so well-behaved, Miss Lily. I wish you and your family a very happy holidays!
Winter in Minnesota is tough! It’s hard to find warm places to take photos, when it is cold and snowy outside. Minneapolis’ new Guthrie Theater can be a perfect place. Early in the morning, when there aren’t any plays going on, there is lots of room to run around. This family was so sharply dressed in black-and-white, it was perfect for the modern setting:
But of course, there are parts of the Guthrie that are all about color. Check it out!
I met up with Jack and his parents this weekend for a quick portrait session in Minneapolis. It was quite chilly (Jack told us a couple times “coat on” “mittens on”) so we didn’t stop moving for an hour! And look at the adorable result:
We also snuck inside for a few more portraits. I can’t believe how much bigger Jack is than the last time I saw him over a year ago … isn’t he just a little man?
