These sweet little girls were a delight to photograph. They were so relaxed and playful and silly in front of the camera, which makes it fun to get these kinds of pictures. They were breathtaking in B&W (see previous post) and they are just as adorable in color!
Dancers:
Being silly:
And just being beautiful:
I always think of that nursery rhyme when I think of how sweet little girls are. These sisters are no exception:
They absolutely took my breath away!
More to come (in color!).
Do you think this little sweetheart has captured her parents’ hearts?
Their little princess:
Doesn’t she just have the cutest little face?!
So glad I had the privilege of taking pictures of this little princess—she was so comfortable in front of the camera and is so beautiful!
Isn’t this little princess adorable? Such a sweet little smile…(and I’m so glad her mom let her bring her princess attire!)
But I have to admit that these are the ones that I think are just to die for!!! I LOVE these expressions!
More to come soon of this darling little princess and her mommy and daddy!
These two little sweethearts—brother and sister—are going to be real heartbreakers, I just know it! They were both completely adorable and both have big, beautiful eyes.
The 2 1/2 year old little man was feeling a bit under the weather and definitely a little camera-shy, and yet he still managed to be strikingly handsome for these shots! Did I mention the eyes? (Sigh…)
Mommy & Daddy each doing their part to cheer on their little trooper:
Little sister:
Some family shots and some of just mom and dad:
Thank you for giving me the chance to meet your family and capture your little ones! They were every bit as precious as they look in these pictures!
For many Twin Cities photographers, I’m sure Como Park is old news. But seeing as it is a very lengthy drive for me, I just did my first photo shoot there and loved it! I met an old friend/co-worker and her family to get some family pictures. As true-blue Minnesotans, they got out their Twins gear!
Their little man was so mellow, but had some good smiles to give when Mom or Dad were entertaining enough:
See what I mean by mellow—easily fascinated by shoes!
His big sister was a busy three (if you have a three-year-old like I do, you know exactly what I’m talking about!). So of course I got some action shots, but also was able to capture her beautiful eyes and smile.
And as proof of the beautiful location, a family shot by some waterfalls!
I’m so glad that photography gives me opportunities to catch up and connect with old friends. Thank you, Lindgrens!
I got to take pictures of this sweet little thing when she was a newborn. She was a delight, once again!
Sometimes it is impossible for me to choose which pictures to post because there are way too many adorable ones. See what I mean?
And some cute family pictures (I always love the candid ones!):
Thank you for the opportunity to see your precious little girl again! The three of you make a beautiful family!
Trying something new…..using Lightroom 3 and some crazy pieces of fabric I bought for a backdrop.
And by that, I mean a NEW CAMERA! We are up and running with the Canon 7D. A huge leap for me considering that I’ve been using a Canon 10D for the last 4 years. I’ve got a lot to learn on this new one, but am blown away by the quality. I did some comparison pictures between my old camera and the new. I kept the settings the same for these first pictures. My ISO was at 1600 (the highest ISO available on the 10D), f1.4 and 1/250 sec. (I did no editing on these pictures.)
The 10D is first:
The next two pictures were done with the lights off. Again, on the 10D, the ISO was at 1600 (as high as it would go) and the aperture and shutter speed stayed the same as the above pictures.
On the 7D, I increased the ISO to 6400 (is that even possible?!!!!) and kept the other settings the same. Again, no editing on any of these pictures. Are you as amazed at the difference as I am?! I’m excited to see what’s next with this camera!
Well, first things first, I have to upgrade my Photoshop. It turns out that CS3 won’t support the RAW images from the 7D. Blah…so I guess a new camera means a lot of new “investments”!
A friend of mine is starting up a knitting business on Etsy (as you’ve seen from the cute baby things that she knits!). I took a few pictures of her hats on the fence by my sister’s house. Random, I know, but still kind of fun!
