9-Month Old {Rochester MN Portrait Photographer}

Posted in Babies

Since it’s going to be a dreary, rainy day, today, I thought it’d be a good day to share a session from this summer when it was much nicer out.

Mr. A was full of sweet little smiles for his 9-month session. But he was freaking out Andrea, his Mom and me when he kept trying to check out the grass while sitting in the chair. 😉 Such a fun session. Can’t wait to see him next month for his final 1-year session from his Watch Me Grow sessions. Hard to believe it has already been a year since we first met him at the studio for a Christmas Mini session a few days before his newborn session.

One-Year-Old Cake Smash {SE MN Infant Portrait Photographer}

Posted in Babies

Finally sharing some of this session with this one-year-old boy. I had shared the cake smash set as we built it and this one-year-old was so happy for his session. So fun! And he enjoyed his cake made by Debby Westphal to the very end as well as the bananas. I think he probably has the record for destroying his smash cake the most as well.

Sweet Smiles {Stewartville MN Children’s Portrait Photographer}

Posted in Babies

Hard to believe this little beauty will be back at the studio next month for her 1-year shoot and wrapping up her year of Watch Me Grow sessions. Loved her 9-month photo shoot, she gives such sweet smiles that light up the entire room. I love working with her and her family. What a joy she is to photograph!
