Baby Ellen | Minneapolis Newborn Photographer

Meet Baby Ellen. You might remember her parents from their maternity shoot a few weeks ago.  Ellen made a bit of a surprise entrance a little bit early, eager to enjoy the last few weeks of summer I'm guessing.  She was exactly one month old at the time of our session. So sweet and precious... I seriously thought about tucking her into one of my baskets and taking her home with me...but I figured her parents would notice. :)
Steph and Tom, thanks for having me out to capture some of your first photos as a family of three. Enjoy the preview and I'll have the rest to you soon.

Playtime in the Park | Plymouth MN Family Photographer

Here are a few photos from a recent session with three little cuties - two twin boys and their big sister. We met at their favorite park and everyone was very busy picking flowers, climbing, playing on the swings and taking wagon rides.    Amidst all the activity, I did manage to get a shot of the three kids all sitting together...and yes, candy bar bribery was involved.

Maddie | Minneapolis Portrait Photographer

I got to photograph this gorgeous gal last week in the St. Anthony Main area. It was one of the hottest days of the year, but you couldn't tell by looking at Maddie. She looked fabulous the whole time - even after two hours of shooting in the heat.  I on the other hand, did not. :)   Enjoy the photos!

The Basket Tour | Minneapolis Newborn Photographer

One of my favorite things about newborn sessions is getting to meet teeny tiny babies when they are just a few days old. Little Levi is just 10 days old here and so adorably tiny.
As I set up for the shoot, I planned to start with the naked sleeping baby shots that we all love. The beanbag was ready, Levi's mom got him fed, sleeping, and undressed and we got him into position. Well, things didn't exactly go as planned...
Maybe it was the 85 degree weather, or the neighbor next door loudly chain-sawing down a tree. Or maybe Levi noticed that under the soft white blanket, the beanbag was pink.. Whatever it was, Levi was having none of it. Crying and getting all red-faced...he was mad! His mom and I are fairly certain we even saw him make an obscene hand gesture to us at one point. :)

So...we switched gears and tried a swaddle and suddenly all was well. Levi slept peacefully the rest of the session, nestled snug in this pretty basket. And little did he know, we did a tour of the backyard as he slept, taking photos along the way.

Congratulations, Jeff and Andi! Looking forward to doing your family session in a few weeks!

Levi, not likin' the beanbag:
