Hartl Family ~ maternity

It was not long ago that I was taking pictures for Alaina's first birthday.  Soon a new little bundle of joy will be joining their family.  We started the session with some pictures of just mom and dad since Alaina was still napping.  But the session wouldn't have been complete without her.  What an exciting time for the whole family.  I love Alaina's look in the one photo--like "wait, whats happening here."  And all their hands on mom's belly...so sweet!   I can't wait to meet the new little one in just a few short weeks :)

Thane

This adorable little man just turned one.  Thane was all smiles for me that day.  We worked quick and he cooperated for all of our ideas.  I'm not sure I could choose just one favorite...such a sweetheart!  And what 1-year old session would be complete without a little cake.  He knew just what to do with it and loved every minute of it.  Here are my favorites...

Brydan & Owen

I met Brydan when he was only a week old.  He's three months old already...and this time he brought a friend along.  Brydan and Owen are about a week apart.  They were both very serious that day, but they are such adorable babies that it doesn't even matter.  We just took turns and both boys got lots of mini breaks.  They are quite the cute bunnies as well.  I'm sure they will love their moms for that when they grow up.  We finished the session with Brydan in his baptism outfit and a special mommy and Brydan shot.  Here are my picks...

Leah & Ryan ~ maternity session

I have been so bad at keeping up with blogging lately...I guess I'll have to work on that :)  This session is from February and features my brother-in-law and his beautiful wife!!  I was so excited to do this session and I just can't wait to meet my niece or nephew.  Even this many weeks pregnant, she is absolutely stunning!  We actually had a pretty nice day considering it was winter in Minnesota. So we had to sneak outside for some snow pictures.  I had a really hard time choosing favorites, but here they are...

Connor - 3 years

I have been taking this silly little guy's pictures since he was brand new!  I always have so much fun with him.  He reminds me of when my boys were younger :)  Full of energy and so excited!  We started out indoors and finished with some fun in the snow.  I think he loved getting to throw snowballs at me!
