Two brothers... Eli and Owen are cute with personalities to match! How lucky that I got to spend some 'mini session' time with them. :)

Each summer I totally look forward to my session with Leo and Norah. I just adore these two. They are super cute and have the cutest little personalities. So fun. This summer, the morning of their session it was like a billion percent humidity. Seriously. But so worth it to get these images! :)

I'm editing this session and wanted to share a quick sneak peek. As I look through the images from this session some make me laugh (really laugh), some make me smile (smile big), and some sneak up and cause a heart reaction (for lack of a better way to describe it). I love that feeling when your head is completely not involved and your heart (or body or spirit or whatever you want to call it) just somehow knows it's special. Often the feeling just sneaks up on you when you might least expect it - I think those are the times to really pay attention. This image, for whatever reason, my heart liked. A lot. Many more coming from this session. Until then, Happy Friday! :)

I first photographed this threesome 3 years ago in the summer of 2007...

minneapolis_children's_photography_f001_158.jpg... and look at them now! In some ways 3 years doesn't sound that long, but looking at these images... well, look at the changes. We've had other sessions between these, but when we met a few weeks ago the kids seemed to have grown so much. One of the reasons I'm in love with photography is because it gives me this amazing opportunity to preserve those moments that inevitably change because time inevitably keeps moving forward. But before we get too ahead of ourselves, here they are now, in 2010. :)

A mini session was a perfect chance for Katelyn's parents to get some images of her at one-and-a half. It was another hot and humid morning (and little did I know that the next round of mini sessions, a week later, would be even steamier! More on those later). But we waded through the steaminess and it was totally worth it. I hope to see you again in February (when we'll be complaining about it being too cold to go outside). :)
