I was honored to meet this little guy as a newborn, photograph him for his half-birthday and now the big milestone of a whole year old! This was the first outdoor session with him and the weather was nice, an accomplishment on it’s own with this MN season. He is a happy boy with two very loving parents. It was also fun to do some patriotic pics with him as well, Happy Independence Day!

Cole and his Mom came to MN from WI to enjoy the Spudfest activities at the 39th annual Big Lake celebration. We had time to go to Big Lake (the physical body of water) and take some shots of him and his Mama prior to swimming.

It is amazing how in one weekend a baby girl like this one can learn to sit up and roll all over! She is a happy girl and even when she is not smiling she is so content. Such a gorgeous girl!

I have known this guy since the day we drove to meet him in the hospital, he is quite the young man. Full of great energy, he loves to sing, play and be outside. Did I mention he loves his new bike too and he can ride with with no training wheels! Can’t believe you are FIVE, you not-so-little-guy!
You have seen Nicki, Corey and their children Devin and Gavin on more than one archival post. Nicki’s Mom Lu gathered up her other 3 children Jeremy, Paul and Katie and their respective families for a fun Mother’s Day at Minnehaha Falls Park. Here are the highlights from yesterday’s session.

Mr. William James is now 10 months old, can it really have been that much time since I photographed him at just 10 days old? He is such a handsome little guy. He wanted to be on the move, but what ten month old doesn’t!? Here he is, as well as his Grandpa Bill, and his Mom (Brooke), Dad (Lee) and Dog (Mea).

This little girl is the youngest daughter of one of the my most favorite people on this Earth. Her name is Saige and I had the pleasure of photographing her at 6 days as well. She is a little peanut compared to her siblings at that age. She has a sweet sweet smile and loves to coo at you. I look forward to watching her grow!

Our son has reached the fun age of 7 months. Sitting up, reaching, rolling, and jabbering. Discovering food amongst many other things.

My son has turned 6 months old! I thought my first child grew fast, the time seems to be flying by even faster this time around! I love the 6 months age, starting to sit up, get control of hands, and personality really emerging. We tried solids today, (rice cereal), he did not like it, little bugger. We are loving the 40 degree weather and SUNSHINE! Sure beats snow storms and subzero temps!
