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!!

Newborns newborns newborns!

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!

Back in October when I photographed Ellie for the first time, I said she’d probably be all grown up by the next time I got to see her. Not quite, but darn close!

My cousin and family were back in town for a bit so we met up in Hudson to do some updated photos of Alex and Ellie. These are two active monkeys, lemme tell ya.

Not only did it rain, but there was a bulldozer on the beach where we were going to shoot. We still managed some brief time on the waterfront in between the hauling and the thunder.

Then we headed back to Grandma and Grandpa’s to check out the toys and read some books.

Kellie: That diptych with the foot is seriously adorable. Nice processing on it

LK: Nice job capturing their personalities, despite the speed at which they move!

~SarahInParis~: Very cute kiddies. The feet ones are TOO sweet, but I think the walking on the beach one is my fave!

juliek: Mandy, I love the pix. My fave is the one of Ellie witha frown or quizzical look. Of course I thenk they are adorable JAK

johanna: Great shots MK! Looks like you got quite a workout! I love the one of the little guy with a big grin rounding what looks like a lamp post. I too love the feet images. Feet are so telling of age! Nice work!

Allyson: LOVE the feet shots - and the last one as well. Great work MK!

The last time I met Jacob, he was still baking. Having reached 8lbs and 21 inches, he was ready to meet the world and I got to see his cute little self last week.

He was a happy little burrito.

Maria Hays: Love the one with the foot in hand, these are beautiful!

anna: What a sweet, sweet smile. I love your newborn images. They are absolutely gorgeous.

Allyson: ooohhhh..... that second shot... amazing!!!

christy: I LOVE all of these! But, that first one just kills me....that smirk is priceless :)

tara: Oh, MK! These are amazing. I loooooove the first one. And that white one? ALMOST made me want to have another one...almost. Just for a sec.

~SarahInParis~: Fabulous images MK and what a gorgeous little cherub. Personally I love the hat photo (and the hat!!) such great colours!

Jennifer Chaney: LOVE the first and the last... shows both sides of babies!! Beautiful work!

Katie: Absolutely beautiful photos...what a sweet looking little newborn. Great job MK!

Karen: Beautiful photos! I love love love that first one. LOVE. :)

I have been jonesin’ hard to do some newborn photos lately so when my cousin brought her one month old to town when she came for her brother’s wedding (more on that later!), I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to photograph this tiny little one. Even at a month old, she was practically pocket-size.

I’ve photographed big brother (who is now much bigger and who I just might sneak a few more photos of in a few weeks when they all come back) before but before my blogging days. You might recognize him from my main website though.

You think blue eyes run in the family much?

It took a few attempts before she really wanted to fall asleep. Poor me, I had to hold her a few times. A tragedy really, all curled up tiny in my arms, falling asleep. The life of a photographer, I tell ya. And after she fell good and sound asleep, I put her down and took all her clothes and blankets off! There’s no justice in being so little…but I love how easy they are once they’re asleep. :)

Little baby rolls, so cute!

And my favorite for last. How could you not love little baby loaf? What a peanut.

I was so, so sad when they had to leave (we did this session on their way to the airport). She’ll probably be all growed up by the time they come back in six weeks. :(

Langdon: Wow, you're totally pro. We may have some babies in the coming years for you to shoot. Kindly begin making plans to move here.

Lisa Lent: I think someone may be clucky

mk: I'm not really sure what that means but I probably am.
