sweet sisters :: twin cities children’s photographer

I must say this was the most delightful early morning session. Now if you know me at all, you know I am most definitely not a morning person. But last weekend I got to photograph these beautiful girls again, and it was so worth the early Saturday morning. The light was beautiful, the girls were giddy, and we had a splendid time. One of my favorite things about photographing families and kids is watching them grow. The last time I photographed these girls was when the wee one was freshly hatched, just 8 days old. And almost three years ago (in my pre-blogging days) I shot their wedding – and such an incredibly beautiful wedding it was! Here are a few shots from our session on Saturday.

I’m going to try something new and fun for this family – if they reach 25 comments here on this blog posting, they will get a free 8×10 print. So leave a comment here (down below the photos) and let them know how very adorable their girls are!
