four little monkeys ~ [minnesota photographer]
My session with four of my favorite little clients was coming up, and their sweet mama called to talk about locations and clothing. She mentioned she had gotten them all matching monkey shirts, and wanted to know if I had access to a bed. Well… of course I have a bed at home, but wasn’t sure we’d be able to get the right “look” inside. I knew she lived out in the country, and my mind started going and pretty soon I started getting all excited and drooling… because I had an idea. So… I talked her into (and she talked her HUSBAND into) dragging a bed from their house out into a field so we could do this….
Thank you daddy “K” for not thinking we were completely nuts, and going along with our idea. Because… seriously… does it get any cuter? Nuh-Uh.
And then all of a sudden… these sweet angelic children in white were… SUPERHEROES!
And I just have to share this last one because I was laughing so hard I nearly peed my pants while I was taking this photo. It was oldest brother “O’s” turn to get his photos taken by himself and I had asked him to put his hands in his pockets. And… because “monkey-see-monkey-do”, he had two little brothers right behind him trying to find their pockets and get in on his photo. It was one of the cutest things I have ever seen!
