Greta + Piper : Minneapolis/ St. Paul Newborn Photography




Remember this fabulous family of three that I visited earlier this year? You can see them (pre-babies!) here.

Only a few weeks later, they added TWO sweet-as-sugar baby girls to their family! When I got the note from their Mama announcing their arrival, I shrieked with delight and happiness. Greta and Piper are utterly adorable and their personalities were already apparent at two weeks when I met them for the first time. Greta is more quiet and reserved, while Piper definitely lets you know she's around! As her Daddy said, "she's a Piper for sure!"

Although I knew I was about to see two girls instead of the usual one newborn, my heart still skipped a beat when I approached their crib and found TWO babies in it! LOVE LOVE LOVE. I couldn't wait to get my camera out - I was ready!

These girls stole my heart instantly - this first image completely inspires me and reminds me why I love this "job" so much: the first love we know in life comes from our family. Greta and Piper will forever and always be linked to one another and as daughters, sisters and friends, they'll always have the other around to love and to grow with. My heart soars when I think about all that lies ahead for them. And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't partially jealous - I always wanted a sister! (but to cover my bases, I really really love my brother!)

Greta is already such a willing subject and excellent listener - she fell asleep almost instantly, while Piper kept an eye out for me and proved to be pretty sneaky! Kate and Tom will definitely have to be on their toes with these two around :) And big brother Will? Adorable as always and you can tell he loves his baby sisters so much, even if he wasn't quite able to tell them apart just yet.

To Greta and Piper - thank you for being my first-ever newborn twin clients! You're gorgeous and sweet and I can't wait to watch you grow into lovely young ladies. Watch out world - this is an unstoppable team!

Babies Make Five : Minneapolis/ St. Paul Maternity Photography

Last fall, I volunteered with the Liz Logelin Foundation and you can see those images HERE. I donated a photo session to the Foundation's gala auction and it wasn't until two months ago that I heard who won: an adorable family expecting twin girls! I knew instantly that I had hit the jackpot! I decided to offer a two-part session: maternity and newborn and I was elated when the Hollands agreed.

Once I met this family, I knew even more securely that they were meant to win the session. The instant love and peace you feel upon entering their home is downright fantastic. Two year old Will was about to be a big brother in a huge way and he and I became fast friends that afternoon. He did a great job! Kate? STUNNING. Can you believe there were two babies in there? I'm amazed! Tom? The love he has for his wife and Will and those babies on the way is clear and focused. The three of them together on the front steps are some of my favorites of all time - are you convinced yet that I adore this family?

Just yesterday I met "the babies" for the first time and they stole my heart. Greta and Piper are absolute dolls - stay tuned to see their debut soon.

But for now - here's the Hollands in their pre-newborn-twin-girls glow!
