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.

I got connected with this family through Deb Miner who I also met recently. Deb has a really neat line of products called i get around – helping kids go places which encourages kids to be curious, creative, and connected to the world around them. Go take a peek!

Mason was only 16 weeks when we did his session but he is a looong little fella. Smiley, too! I feel like I’ve been saying that about a lot of kiddos lately but I think I’ve just been lucky. I can’t look at this first photo and not smile back.

stalker: the last one, of the big, bigger, and biggest smiles? so precious.

sara montour: oh. my. gosh! what an adorable, smiley little man!!!

Jennifer Chaney: Oh wow! This is my favorite session. Honestly - I'm so impressed. That last little series is priceless. Beautiful, beautiful work.

Kathi C: Brilliant session! What a cute little guy he is! You captured a lot of personality with this tiny one. His smiles make me giggle, and his eyes are absolutely sparkling! Tender moments captured too. Gee, could it get any better?

Dawn: I so wish I had pictures like this of my daughter when she was this age. You did a great job capturing his sweet personality and the family's connection. Beautiful work!!

Dana F: Stunning. You captured so many facets of this little man, I am excited for the family to see these! That last series of 3 is gorgeous - Imagine being a little boy and seeing these on your wall - it would be incredibly affirming to him to know that he began his life filled with such Joy! AMAZING!

Allyson: These are fantastic, and I agree with the other comments - that last series of 3 is just GREAT!! Love the one of him snuggled up close to his mommy... they grow so fast, that it's great to catch that moment now...

alison Connor: What fantastic shots! Seeing a session like this makes me so sad that I did not hire a photographer just like you when my kids were little!

jacey cosner: OOO! I love this session, what a gorgeous little tootheless grin you captured. Those last three are priceless, his blue eyes are killer, and I really love the one with daddy kissing his head, such a fleeting moment and you got it!

Linda Blackwell: Soooo cute...love his eyes, and you really captured his adorable smile!

Julie: These are so sweet and precious! You do such great work especially with such a hard age to photograph! Those last three are my favorites- so amazing that you were able to get these!

christy: Mandy, these are fabulous! You captured him so beautifully, and those last three just make me smile inside. This family must be over the moon!!

Rachel Clare: These are the most darling pictures!! This is such a hard age to capture, and you did so perfectly my dear! I love his smiles!! Mom must be SO happy! Great work!

Johanna: What a cutie! I love these! I would kill for images like that of my baby at his age. That last series of 3 images - that's perfect for one big, long canvas to go right over the changing table. I'd want to see those every day! Awesome! Nice work girl, as usual.

Hope: Oh my goodness, these are amazing! This is such a difficult age to capture and you made it look easy! Your images are just wonderful!!!

tara k: i am so in love with these sweet images! what a beautiful, happy little boy, captured perfectly through your artistic eye. gorgeous work as always, mandy!

Susan: omgoodness. so much sweetness. the first image positively melts my heart. I would so love to have had these kind of photographs from any of my 3 babies ... who are no longer babies! ;-)

Tamara: What a doll and those eyes!!! What Happiness. These are priceless!

~SarahInParis~: Fabulous images of this little cutie Mandy. That first image is just divine and I love the image on the green background. Lovely lovely images!

Jen: Oh wow these are SO darling. You captured such joy! Perfection!

Patti: What gorgeous captures.. that smile is contagious!

Jeanmarie: Ohmygosh! Absolutely gorgeous! LOVE the series at the end. Beautiful work!

Katie Williams: MK, these are the most precious, most beautiful pictures of a baby I have ever seen!!!!!!

I’ve got my computer back (so happy with the quick turnaround!) and I finally have a few days without shoots to start catching up on everything else. Good weather for that today, too. Raining and windy outside, I’m happy to be inside, surrounded by cats and having a chance to work. All I need is a cup of soup and I’d be really set.

This little guy was kind of solemn and maybe not my biggest fan but still cute as heck. We took his little red buggy down to their neighborhood park to hang out on the playground and take some photos.

Matt: As usual these are just amazing. I couldn't help but smile while looking through them. Great job Mandy.

Vanessa Lam: I LOVE these! He's so cute and the dimples are priceless. I love the one on the swing and the last one of him exhausted in Mommy's arms. Awesome Mandy!

.K: Oh man, the one smack in the middle where his mom is holding him up (6th) is seriously adorable. I actually said "awwww". Crap, I'm only 23. NO BABIES ALLOWED.

Nathanael got a whole new fancy outfit for this shoot, right down to his shoes. How fun is that shirt?? We did this session right outside their cute Minneapolis house.

Jennifer Chaney: What an awesome session! It just made me happy. Will you come shoot for me? I would love shots like this of my kids. And I love that first picture b/c his face is totally in focus, but his body is in motion... pretty cool capture. And the shirt? I want one.

tara k: well, if he's not just the cutest little guy ever! love these shots, mandy. and the shirt is FAN.TAS.TIC. great job!

Rachel Clare: WHO says boy clothes aren't as cute as girl clothes?! I beg to differ. And P.S. I want to eat him up.

Maria Hays: Holy Cuteness!! Love these!

Tendrils: Holy Cow ! Adorable! I LOVE the last photo with the polka dots from the book, too! Very cool!

Lynn: I'm Nathanael's mommy. I am absolutely over the moon at how these turned out. Loving them so much!

Barbara Mosher: I just DIG the one of N picking up a fistful of grass. What a cutie!

Two girls who love the camera – a few teeth + a few rounds of bocce ball + leftover sparklers + s’mores + a hammock + a lot of silliness.

Maybe I’ll just start doing sessions in my backyard, it’s pretty fun back there! I’ll even supply the s’more makin’s.

Sarah: Love them! Sparklers are très spesh.

Vanessa Lam: These are so fun! Love the ones of them on their back, made me smile at my screen. I was s'mores!
