9 Months {Southeast Minnesota Children’s Portrait Photographer}

This little gets more adorable every time I see her! I knew her Mom was bringing a dress her sister had worn at her 9 month photos, too. So when I was thinking of backdrops, I knew we had the perfect drop for the dress and even better we had never used it in the 3 years we have had it at the studio. Guess we were waiting for the perfect little model for it. Love how it turned out.

And we got to do a few Easter photos with her Big Sister, too.aw98AW99

Big Buck {Southeast Minnesota Children’s Portrait photographer}

Such a fun session from last year that I hadn’t shared as it was a gift for her Daddy.  Love  it and can still hear her sweet voice saying she  “shot a big buck!”  So cute!

Mr. P turns 2! {Southeast MN Children’s Portrait Photographer}

Love his ride he brought to the studio for pics.  Never seen anything like it before!   Also, got to go to Forestville for a few more pictures as it was rainy the first day and Mr. P wasn’t feeling like giving us too many smiles.

He was such a gentleman, at the end of the session,  he even pulled our wagon full of props back to the car for Allison.

Pulling the wagon to load up all the props….
