Catherine’s first 5 years | MN baby and child Watch Me Grow photography

5 years ago I met Catherine for the first time.  She was only a few weeks old and sweet as ever.  I connected with her and her parents – Vickie with her amazing smile and Carl with his fun ideas.  I had only hoped I’d get the chance to work with them again as Catherine grew.   I was thrilled when they asked me to photograph Catherine again at 6 months and again at a year.   From then on we’ve been doing 2 sessions a year, and now I can’t believe she’s five years old!  Here are some images from her very first photography sessions with me…

And now, at age 5.  Hasn’t she become the most beautiful little girl?   At our latest photo shoot last week in Minneapolis, Catherine arrived wtih her parents, full of energy and happy as can be.  She handed me a little gift bag holding some drawings that she made for me, some paper cutouts, and a few random things that she must have thought I’d like 🙂  So cute!  She was a doll, full of smiles and giggles – can’t wait til next time.  Here’s Catherine, such a big girl at age 5!
