Evan

February 25, 2010

A quick note first: I’ve created a new blog for all my photo work that isn’t baby/child/family related. Music, derby, events, etc., etc. will now be posted over here. Please stop by. :)

I got this message via Twitter from Evan’s dad: any way to get a “sneak peak” from Sat. AM? Just one or two on your blog? Pretty please? So I edited a few photos from our session and then, when I went to post them, realized I’d oh-so-smartly deleted the database that powers this blog while I was cleaning out and making more space on my hosting account. Many thanks to my lovely host, VerveHosting.com, who fixed my database within minutes, and with whom I have been hosting for over 10 years now and highly recommend. And now I can share some of these photos!

Laura Biebl: That first one makes me smile :) Those EYES! I see a heartbreaker in the future...

Dave: Yea! Becky wanted to ask you about the sneak peak, so I figured I'd send you a quick tweet to see what you could do. Thanks! Everybody loves them.

Heather: Mandy...these are gorgeous! Great shots! The first one is amazing, you rule.

Newborn

I meant to knit during the Olympic Opening Ceremonies but I edited beebees instead. :)

LK: Wow! What else can I say? Each one brings a new "Awwwwwwww!"

stalker: they're all adorable. i like the poses/props in 2 and 5 the best.

Amy: knit me an amniotic sack please?! Love them though, you are super duper talented lady. They make my ovaries pop a little though.

Rachel Clare: These are so gorgeous. Makes me want another one, and mine is only 3-months old!!

Another Newborn!

February 11, 2010

Ready for another cutie?

The newborns in all of these posts are less than two weeks old, the ideal time to for them to be photographed. Don’t wait until your little one is born to set up a newborn session; call ahead and we’ll get you a tentative date on the schedule around your due date and be flexible from there.

stalker: do you drug these kids to get them to sit so still? and i like the little cute puckered lips this babeh has.

mk: Yes, with animal tranquilizers. But we don't talk about that.

tara k: breathtaking, my friend. you amaze me!

mk: My mom isn't sure it's okay to joke about animal tranquilizers. So, just for the record, that was a joke! The babies are 100% safe at all times and just sleepy. That's why it's good to set up a session within the first two weeks, when they're sleepier and curlier.

Katie Williams: gorgeous - love the tree stump one!!

Mary: I want to kiss that little one:) so cute, I have never seen a baby sleep in a log but now I wonder why.....Adorable!

Amy: The tree stump and use of grass gives me hope that you are getting closer to using cabbage leaves.

sarah: truly truly loving these. lol @ animal tranquilizers! gorgeous shots.

Newborns newborns newborns!

February 6, 2010

I had the opportunity to spend a few days in San Diego, learning from some first-class newborn photographers (baby folding class, I’ve been calling it). I’m so, so excited to come back and get to work on some Minneapolis newborns. Below are just a few of the photos I took while in San Diego.

Jennifer Chaney: Ohhh you're so lucky! That last one is a pose I need to learn b/c I can't do it to save my life. Wish I had been along side you. Beautiful work. Just love it!

Jen: Jenn...you & me both! I was just trying that post this morning! Ugh! These are stunning images. Would love to hear your thoughts on the WS! I just gotta get there!

LK: Good folding! They look so squeezable!!

Rachel Clare: oh my good heavens. these are divine!
