Snakes and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails

What are little boys made of?  These three adorable gentlemen would be made of fun and sweetness and laughter.  We've been capturing images of these three charmers since they were babies.  They are so cute together and yet each has their own distinct personality (check out "fierce" Ben in the image above). : )   We had a great summer session with this cute family!

Carter-Class of 2014

It was very special for us to capture Carter's senior portraits! As a faithful reader of our blog, you may recall Carter's older brother, TJ, who came to us in 2012 for his senior session. (to refresh your memory, click on this link!  http://miroslavichphotography.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html ) Carter is just as charming and handsome as his older brother and we had such a fun time with this session! It was just at the end of hockey season-Carter plays for Totino Grace who made it to the Minnesota State hockey tournament this year- and we were able to catch one of the last days at one of our local outdoor rinks.  It is so meaningful when we can incorporate activities/sports that the seniors are passionate about in their life into their portraits!  We wish Carter all the best as he ventures off to the University of Missouri this fall! GO TIGERS!!

Backyard Fun!

Minnesota summers are the best-everyone who lives here would agree! And what could be better than hanging out with this cute family in their summer backyard?  Franklin and Lewis are brothers who are no strangers to this blog!  Over the years we have captured them and their family at various times in their lives, documenting their growth, development and relationship as brothers. We adore watching them grow up! On this occasion, it was all about playing, running and having fun with each other and their fur-brother, Stu!  Being 3 and 5 years old is pretty darn good, I'd say!!

Liam is ONE!!!

Liam is a busy one year old little guy and having a ball learning to walk/run and explore his world!!  We photographed Liam when he was 3 months old, 8 months old and now that he is walking, we photographed him on location at a local park.  Liam LOVES trucks and was very intent on playing with the trucks they brought to the session-it was adorable!  Of course, his "fur-sibling" Murphy also accompanied the family to the session and loved being photographed as well!! We have loved watching Liam over the past year and look forward to seeing him grow over the next few years as well!!

Backyard fun!

Sometimes the best sessions take place in your own backyard!  This was certainly was the case with these cute brothers!!  Their gorgeous backyard made it the perfect setting for their session this summer-if only all of our yards looked this good!  Not to mention the boys were at ease and comfortable running around their yard and letting Melissa capture these great moments while they played with their dog, Baxter.  Of course, Baxter thought it was his own photo session and posed perfectly for the camera! 

Brotherly love...

Two brothers. 13 months apart. Ages 1 and 2. Do you think this household is busy? We loved meeting Ethan and Silas when they came in for their photo session recently. You can tell, even at this young age, that these two boys are going to be the best of friends. They are sweet and loving with one another but also you can tell that they are going to like being physical and playful-just like brothers!!

Best Buds!

Blue eyed Ben recently became a big one year old and his older brother, Sam, became an even bigger 4 year old. What better way to celebrate these milestones than by a joint photo session capturing these brothers playing, having fun and just being boys?! Ben had just begun walking on his own so exploring the studio (and under chairs!) was top on his list of things to do that morning. Of course, Sam is a pro having his photo created at the studio and is able to show little Ben the ropes. We adore watching this family grow and being able to document these special occasions with portraits. Can't wait for our next session with them!

Cousins!!

Recently, one of our favorite people contacted us about a family session that would include cousins, grandparents and an aunt and uncle who would be visiting from out of town. We were delighted! What could be better than seeing an extended family hanging out and having fun together?! Especially when the cousins are all boys ranging in age from 15 months to 8 years old. Coordinated in Star Wars attire, they were full of energy and sweet giggles! We are so glad we were able to capture this special time for you! Enjoy!

Jax is one!!!

We are loving these brothers!!! It has been incredible for us to see this family grow over the past year and a half. When we first met them, Baby Jax was still in mom's belly so we created beautiful family of 3 portraits of them. How special was that? At that time, Jose was 2 years old and life as he knew it was about to change with the arrival of a baby brother! Over the past year, we have witnessed the relationship of these sweet brothers develop and grow. And now that Jax is one, it is all about playing together and discovering new things to do and play with. Creating art for their home has been such a joy and we look forward to adding to their collection in the years to come. Happy Birthday, Jax!!
