Lainey at Minnehaha Falls

Now that it’s winter, I’ve been going through a lot of my old posts to create a new slideshow on my front page featuring my absolute favorite children’s images, and I realized I have a ton of sessions from last year that never hit the blog!  They were featured on my facebook page (are you a fan?), but they deserve to be here, too.  So here is a darling set of photos from last June, when I met up with Lainey and her mom at Minneahaha Falls park in Minneapolis for a morning portrait session.  Lainey was so expressive and had fun exploring the park.  I don’t know about you, but this post makes me long for flip flops, tank tops, and green grass!

August in January

A few weekends ago, I met up with August and his mom at Gold Medal Park for a few wintry photos before he turns 2 years old next month.  While this has been the warmest winter I can remember since I moved in Minneapolis ten years ago, it is still hard for a little one to stay warm outside for long. So we soon moved inside to  take a few more photos in the Guthrie’s big yellow box. August was a bit taken a back by the stunning view (and the translucent floor) but he soon warmed up and I got a images with that iconic backdrop.

Wow! Wow! Wow!

Has there ever been a better portrait of a child? Don’t think so.

And…, he is our grandson. Thank you so much for creating these wonderful photos.

I am amazed by how much of his personality you capture in these images!

Who is this handsome young man?? And what have you done with Baby August??
These are wonderful pictures…what a happy guy, with the world literally at his feet.

Baby D (isn’t such a baby any more).

But I’ll probably call him that forever.  Some nicknames just stick, don’t they?  A couple weeks back I met up with some internet friends of mine at Minnehaha falls on yet another gorgeous day to take some photos of their family of three.  We’ve been seriously spoiled here in Minneapolis this autumn — I know could get used to this kind of light and natural color sticking around!

So Grown Up! Minneapolis Riverfront Family Photos

It’s hard to believe that I first started taking photos of this family back in 2008 when the youngest was just turning 1!  They’re such big kids now and I had such fun exploring the Mississippi river front area with them on a gorgeous fall Sunday morning.  Hunting for crickets and stalking fish, climbing in the mill ruins park, and telling lots of silly jokes.
