Mia

Cutie.

Emery

Three years old already! Seems like I was shooting his baby pictures just yesterday...

Lincoln

If this wasn't Minnesota you'd think he was a beach baby!

Liam

It's always fun to do baby pictures for friends and former wedding clients, and when they're both it's even better - especially when their kids are this cute!

Eli

A beautiful day at the park with a happy little boy is always fun!

Ellen & Cecilia

Ellen has a brand new baby sister! 

Eli

Nothing cuter than a naked baby.

Ari

These were taken just over two years after this shoot: http://michelledupuis.blogspot.com/2008/08/ari.html. It's funny to see how much kids change in 2 years, but what's really amazing is how much they stay the same! I love that Ari has the exact same expression on his face in the black & white shot here, as he does in the color picture I posted of him as a baby. 

Max

I'm a sucker for a kid that sucks on two fingers...having been one of those kids myself!

Max & Eli

These cuties are cousins born just a couple weeks apart. They don't look much like each other, but I think they both look like their moms who are sisters. Funny how that works...

Magdalene

A cold day in December calls for a little ray of sunshine. These are from a shoot I did this summer with my nieces and nephew shortly before their baby brother was born. At the time, Magpie was still the baby. She's grown up a lot in the past few months and I'm afraid pretty soon the sweet little songs she sings, in a language I'm not sure even she understands, will soon be a distant memory. For now, we'll enjoy them while they last...

Emery

Gotta love a boy with a blanket...

Mia

Such a sweet face.

Pool Party

There's something so intriguing about sparkling blue water...maybe it's because I spent much of my childhood floating in my grandma's pool...maybe it's because I love the ocean but live in a landlocked state...maybe it's because swimming outdoors in Minnesota definitely means it's summer. Whatever the reason, on this day the sun was warm, the water was cool, and the kids were laughing - I can't think of anyplace I'd rather be.

Ellen

Baby shoot at the Lyndale Park Rose Gardens.

Alyson & Kathryn

It's always fun to see how kids have grown. I took Kathryn's baby pictures when she was about a month old. Now she's two and has a new baby sister. What a beautiful family!

Nina & Maya

Luckily a large portion of my family lives in Arizona, where it's warm and sunny year round. I took these pictures of my nieces in January, while taking a short break from a very cold and snowy Minnesota winter.

Hannah

She has the most beautiful blue eyes.

Aria

So tiny!

Emery

He is too cute!
