some valentine minis. { frost on flower }

Here are some of my favorites from a few of this weekend's Valentine Be Mine Mini Sessions. :)

Amanda and one of Olive's favorite people to ask questions about, Josh, as well as their dog Kenzie:







I feel like these are dog personal ad photos. I love them. :)



The Carlson family, who you may recognize. I have photographed them a few times in the past and always enjoy seeing them again. :)


I had to keep this one. :)


She's gotten so big since the last time I saw her!




Had to keep it. Adorable. :)






It's been great to watch this guy grow (more slowly than his little sister though) and become a big brother.







Four!!











As always, a few shots of just mom and dad. :)







We sure crammed a lot into a mini!

And, my little friend Meadow.. letting me pretend she was a Cupid...



Started out with her glasses.. because they coordinated so well.



But after a few minutes and occasionally getting some glare we decided to take them off.



The better to see her pretty blue eyes with anyhow.. :)















She was a great sport. Thanks Meadow. :)

June was so kind as to help me out this morning by snuggling up on a blanket on my set up. I wanted to test some lighting and try to get a few more photos of June and Olive. Olive was less cooperative and informed me that she was finished after just a couple of photos of her and June. After packing everything up she decided that she did, indeed, want her own photo, but it was clearly too late. Maybe next weekend when I'm set up for minis.. we'll see!

Speaking of minis - if you're interested I still have some openings for next weekend - February 1st and 2nd.


Whoops, these are in reverse order. Olive walked by which caused June to smile but she walked right in front of the umbrella which cast a noticeable shadow. But his smile is nice.


I thought monster pajamas would be a good outfit for the occasion.






It's not too easy to include the backdrop for infants.. since they can't sit up, but I wanted to see how it looked photographed. Since Olive wasn't interested in her own photos I had to use June.


I know, what a horrible thing I had to do.




Olive likes to hold his hand.






This one is my favorite.

















In case you're curious and thought he looked mature for his age, June is now 17lbs and around 26" at 2 months old.
