When I started this blog, I said I would share images of my own daughter. Yet I haven’t posted a one!

These photos were taken at the beginning of October. If it looks like she has something in her mouth, she does. I had to bribe her w/ Backyardigan fruit snacks for this session

A few weeks back I had this session w/ D and his parents. It was about 30 degrees as we ran around for this shoot. Instead of dealing w/ wet grass, we had frozen grass. We rushed through the session, and they cuddled to keep warm. D’s smiles had lots of warmth though!

I also got to meet A this weekend at my new locale. She was nothing but smiles! My work was made pretty easy We tried to get her to sit in the “desert” by the agave plant. She had other ideas.

With the SNOW (yes, you read right, SNOW) that fell this week, I had to try some indoor locations. And I think I found my new indoor location, the conservatory at the U of M botainical gardens. Meet H! She was all business in the beginning. Wouldn’t give me a single smile. Towards the end, she was all smiles and didn’t want to leave! She picked this outfit out herself! She’s a savvy 2 1/2 year old!

After my session w/ C, I got to meet M. It’s her first fall. She was LOVING the pumpkins and leaves. She spent a lot of effort trying to eat them. Forget rice cereal for this lil’ girl!

Yesterday morning was beautiful for pictures. But boy was is COLD! Little C did not seem to mind at all! He was all smiles from the start. And with a cool hat like this, I can see why he was enjoying the morning outdoors!

This lil girl was such the trooper. No nap and she still managed to give me great smiles. I think I lost about 10 lbs chasing her around Mill Race. Where do they get all this energy? LOL!

By far this was quickest session I’ve ever had. These 3 were pros! They got right down to business w/ the smiles. The secret? Mom promised them candy, LOL!
