newborn baby portrait…

I had the pleasure taking newborn baby portraits for a past wedding client. Their newborn daughter is my youngest client to date – 15 days old. Bright-eyed at the beginning of the session. Took a break for some cozy time with Mom and fell asleep. She was absolutely precious too… as most babies are! Here’s a couple pics…

This was actually my first newborn shoot and I look forward to more! They don’t stay this size for very long! Contact me if you or someone you know is expecting or have recently given birth to a beautiful baby. This is a wonderful way to capture them at this beginning stage of life…

PS – these were taken in the studio. If you’ve been following me on Facebook – you may have heard some exciting news. More on that coming soon to the site!

{adorable} Baby & child portrait | Winona, Minnesota

Absolutely adorable. There, I said it again.

Last week, I shot some more child portraits for an another old high school friend. I didn’t get a chance to see him, as his wife brought their children from Wabasha down to Winona for a little photo session.

Check out these pictures of their boy and his little one year old sister. You can tell they belong together – fair skin, blond hair & blue eyes. Not to mention, cute as buttons!

The little girl wasn’t too sure about me at first – which can happen when shooting little ones. She wanted mom. Mom only.

Here a “Who’s this guy with the big camera? Make him go away” look…

Their little boy was hamming it up for the camera, but here’s a “you’d better take good pictures of my sister for my mom” look…

This almost looks like some words of encouragement between brother & sister – “C’mon sis, shape up – let’s not let mom down”…

And before too long, I got to see those one year teeth (or as parents may know as “chompers”, “teef”, “teefers” or “toofers”)…

Is she not just stinkin’ cute?

Probably one of my favorites from the shoot – the Cabbage Patch Kid look…

Even if you don’t have any kids, I hope these little faces put a smile on your face for this Father’s Day weekend. For you dad’s out there, give those little ones a squeeze – no matter how big they are!

Happy Father’s Day!

cute kids…

Last Friday, I had the joy of taking child portraits for some old high school friends of mine. It seems not that long ago that we were walking the halls Wabasha-Kellogg high school and now here we are with our own children.

Crazy.

Now before I make myself feel any older – let’s check out some pictures of these super cute little kids!!

In need of getting child portraits done?

Child portrait photographer – Winona, MN from Boston, MA!

May 28th, 2009 – I had received a phone call from a mom from Boston, MA who wanted her 13-month-old child’s photos taken while they were in town visiting family over the holiday weekend. Within a few days, we figured out a time & place to take some pictures and we were set to go!

It’s pretty neat to be able to meet clients from all over the country. I’ve had clients from West Palm Beach, Florida; Portland, Oregon; Green Bay, Wisconsin; with some future clients from Chicago, Illinois & Manhattan, Kansas. I really enjoy what I do. Photography brings people together.

Anyways, there I go rambling again, here’s just a few photos from the shoot last Wednesday!

I remember when my kids were this young. They were always fascinated with the world and everything in it.

Perhaps this little guy will end up playing the Boston Red Sox someday! You never know…

I’m always looking to provide family portrait services to families and their children, whether the kids are little or seniors in high school, it’s always a nice change from my usual wedding photography. There’s nothing like the look on a small child’s face. I hope you enjoyed the photos as much as I enjoyed taking them!

Child portrait photographer – Winona, MN

On May 12th, 2008 I had a child portrait photography session in Winona, MN. Family and child portrait sessions are a nice break from the weddings and its always fun to act a little goofy as well as see the innocence of a child’s face. With two kids of my own, I know for a fact that they don’t stay that way forever. Here’s a few enhanced photos from the portrait session:
