Anne and James had a family session on Saturday with their little one year old.  And we definitely got our cardio workout that afternoon!  When you’re one, and can finally be mobile, you tend to want to do your own thing, not sit and pose for pictures.  Apparently, looking at the camera was the last thing this little guy wanted to do!  So we ran all over the place, singing songs and dancing like crazy people…three adults circling one baby that really wanted to be anywhere but where we were.  I think to outsiders we looked pretty hilarious! 

Towards the end of the session, all tuckered out, we were able to get some portraits and then the very last shot of the night turned out perfectly.  See, patience and persistence is worth it!  Anne and James were troopers and I’m so glad we got a nice set of portraits out of the session to remember that crazy hour =)  Here are my favorites!

I had a wonderful family session yesterday in St. Paul.  Kenzie was getting her one year old portraits and also some family pictures. 

I truly enjoyed this very interactive, happy family…and not just because I think I found my interior design soul mate in Kenzie’s mom!  They had a beautiful home that provided quite a few backdrops for lifestyle portraits, and we made sure to show off as many cute outfits as we could.  We then headed to a local college for some beautiful outdoor pictures.  Towards the end of the session Kenzie was running all over the place on a mission, but if mom and dad sung the right song, we were rewarded with a big smile!

Here are my favorite images, enjoy!
