The fading of the sun... {Lino Lakes Child Photographer}

Last night I mustered up a whole bunch of patience to take my own kiddos pictures.   Every so often I get the itch to capture a few beautiful shots of them to hang on our walls.  Not only did I fight a little bit with them, I also had to fight with the setting sun.  These days the sun is setting earlier and faster it seems, but I managed to capture those hazy summer days pictures I so long for in the dark winter months.  

I love this shot, my two beautiful girls with their stud of a brother.  His face cracks me up here.

This was their idea.

Nuts...

We recreated a shot from 2 summers ago.

My adorable and funny little guy.

What a goof.

Beautiful BB. 

She says she was praying, but man does that face say otherwise :)

Appeasing me.

This is the free spirit I know and love!

My sweet and quiet Annika.  I love this shot, just can't decide which processing I prefer more :)

I love her smile, big 2nd grade teeth and all :)

So beautiful.

So now I need to decide what to print!

Itty Bitty... {Lino Lakes MN Baby Photography}

This itty bitty little guy Zach is 3 months old, if you can even believe it! Zach's mom, Jessie, was on bedrest for quite some time and delivered sweet boy early. He was home bound for quite some time, but he was finally big enough and strong enough for his big world debut. 

Zach hung out for a bit with his eyes wide open, but soon passed out and was almost like a newborn for the remainder of the time.  Easy, happy baby!  Just what I like.

 

Welcome to the world Zach!

I don't mean to brag here, but I have the cutest little nephew in the world. Not to mention the sweetest, most calm and happy baby. Little man has been sleeping through the night since he was 4 weeks, no joke. Go ahead and hate on my sister now, she fully deserves it! Anyway, Chan Man is a little over 4 months now so he was due for some pictures, and since I was babysitting while mama was working, I thought we'd snap some! He did awesome, but I must say, trying to play "mama" and photographer is one tough task!

Look at his cute little tushy!

He's such a bubbly fella!

Older cousin Bianca just had to get in a picture with her favorite little man, oh how this shot melts my heart.  

Love you Channy!

Go, go, go! {Lino Lakes, MN Child Photographer}

Cole is 18 months now and boy oh boy is he on the go! This kid literally doesn't sit still for more than a half a second, no joke! He's just like my little guy Bennett, active, rough and tumble and oh so cute!

Neighborly {Lino Lakes Family Photographer}

Tonight I crossed our little street and met up with a family I've known for years. It's always fun to photograph friends, especially one's with kiddos as cute as these!

Miss Goergia, I met this little lady when she was just 10 months old, now she's starting Kindergarten.  Time surely flies!  Such a little beauty, and those freckles are to die for!

And little Miss Charley, she's a mere 10 months old and is already walking!  Sounds like trouble but luckily she's sweet as can be!

And talk about gorgeous girls.  Seriously, this might be one of my all time favorite shots to date.  Just stunning.  You can only hope they have this relationship always...

And funny little Matt, he's 2 1/2 and boy does he remind me of my little Bennett.  Always on the go, goofy and oh so animated! 

Such a lovely and down to earth family, we are lucky to have them as neighbors.

Oh so pretty.

HAHA, love it.

Little Matty.  Ok, so he's not so little, but you get the point.

Lovely.

Look, we got all 3 together!

Can you even believe all this was shot in our 2 backyards?  We are so fortunate to live in such a beautiful area.  Goodnight!
