Blogged my session with the winner from the @TCE_Moms open house. Cuties. :) http://bit.ly/bmZluA 2010-06-10
Some familiar faces around the blog. This was my last session for Evan’s first year. Luckily, his big sister and I are scheming to go to the movies together so I’m sure I’ll see them all again sometime soon. :)
One of the families I’ve photographed a few times before has a new addition who I got to meet last week. Sometimes I think I wouldn’t mind only photographing newborns…but then I think about all the other cute faces I’ve photographed and know that wouldn’t be possible. :)
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!
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!!!!!!
It’s live! I finally have something more than a temporary landing page on my website. Go take a peek…especially if you’re a client or someone I’ve shot with, you might see a face or two that you recognize. :)
