Fireworks

Thought I'd post a few of my favorite images I took of the Strawberry Fest fireworks this year.  They look so much better when you click on the image to enlarge them tho!  ;o)

Baby G

I had the pleasure to meet this adorable newborn Baby G and his big sister Miss E last week.  Baby G was the perfect little model, slumbering peacefully while I posed him this way and that, and waking at the very end so we could get a few shots of those big dark eyes of his too.  His big sister absolutely adores him, as was evident with how gentle she was with him.  Wouldn't you love to know what he was dreaming about?

The little details in nature

I've had a few computer problems recently so I'm a bit behind on my posts, but I'll try to catch up now this week.

A couple weeks ago, I had gone out for an early morning walk, intending to go just a "little" ways, and ended up going around a BIG block... 5.8 miles in total!  Along the way I had noticed this spider web reflecting in the early morning light.  After I (finally!) made it back home, I grabbed my camera, hopped in the truck, and set out to see if I could capture the image with my camera.  Luckily for me (and probably for him too!) the spider was nowhere in sight when I found the web again!

 

And a couple more shots I took on my way back to the paved path... see the little Lacewing on the flower?

Baby A

Ahhh newborns.  It's hard for me to remember mine being that soft and little once!  This beautiful baby girl decided that she just did not want to nap or be uncovered during our session but we were able to get a few adorable photos anyway. 

Mr G.

I met this little guy last weekend at the Chickadee Boutique, a fabulous, seasonal boutique in Shoreview filled with anything and everything handmade, and where I have been displaying my artwork for the last few years.  (http://chickadeeboutique.com)

Such a serious little man, but it was a joy to follow him around as he explored the gardens.  He's going to be a big brother soon too!

Turning 6

This little cutie needed her 6 year old photos taken so we headed down to the river yesterday.  I wasn't sure if the weather was going to cooperate or not - it was very windy and the thunderclouds were rolling in - but we got lucky and it didn't rain while we were there.  While we were there, we also took some with her sister too.  I loved the matching outfits!  Here are just a few of my favorites from our session.
