Welcome Baby Gabriel ~ Twin Cities Newborn Photographer

Gabriel was 7 days new when I was able to meet him at his home with his family.  He has quite the birth story as he was born in the car on the way to the hospital.  He was caught by his grandma who is a nurse and was following in the car behind mom and dad and they had to pull over with EMS on the phone and arriving shortly after.  He was 7 lbs 14.4 oz and 21 inches and healthy!  He was perfect for the photo session with lots of sleeping time and time awake too.  This session was so much fun as I was able to capture some personal newborn photos of him as well as more of a lifestyle session with photos capturing him with his big brother and the family.  We even had warm enough weather to take Gabriel outside for some family photos and newborn shots of him outside which was so much fun.  The love inside this home from mom, dad, and big brother brings tears to my eyes.  It was so much fun being able to capture the love and precious moments between Gabriel and his big brother.  I was also able to capture some of Gabriel feeding with his mom which was truly beautiful and those are for mom to keep personally.  I hope you enjoy!

 

Andrea - Awesome skills Jill! Thanks for capturing some amazing pictures! I love them all so much, and we had so much fun with you at the photo session!!

Max ~ Twin Cities Minnesota Child Photographer

I had the pleasure of being referred to this family by a previous client.  Max just turned 3 and  his parents met here during college and are both from Russia.  Max doesn’t speak English yet but is now attending a preschool and already picking up on some words.  I think it is amazing he will be speaking 2 languages in no time…little kids are such sponges for language.  I think I might have taught him a few new words during our session and got a lot of smiles from him!  He was so much fun to capture and he is a total ham for the camera with lots of smiles and giggles!  His mom was able to be apart of the photo session too and I loved capturing the mother and son moments.  I had a hard time choosing just a few pictures to put on the blog because I loved all of his expressions.  Hope you enjoy this adorable little boy!

 

Family Reunited ~ Twin Cities Minnesota Family Photographer

This family contacted me to complete a last-minute photo session because their family has never all been together.  One family flew up from Florida and the whole extended family had the opportunity to let the cousins play together and be with family.  The photo session was a surprise gift for “Grandma” as she has never had  a picture of the entire family or individual pictures of each grandchild.  What a wonderful gift.  It was 100 degrees and hot so we did our best trying to stay cool and in the shade of their home.  Hope you enjoy!
