First off, let me start by saying….where does the time go!  I absolutely LOVE being home with our kids, but the days seem to go even faster then when I worked!  We have been in Williston for two months now and are feeling at home here and are settled into our cozy little rental house!

This was taken on Christmas Eve day, right before we headed to church.  Who would have thought it would be nice enough to take an outdoor photo on Christmas Eve!

Although I cannot wait to play girly stuff with Julia, I have to admit, I love playing legos and Star Wars with Elias.   He is so fun.

He is now building by himself and is able to follow directions with just a little help.  Julia  is rolling all through the house, so we have had to move the Legos and all the other small toys up, so when she naps he loves to play on the floor!

He created this by himself and it is always a good idea to have a large sign marking a “Secret Lair”-haha!  This Kleenex box has provided days of entertainment:)

Ok, this is getting long….I am almost done, but really, isn’t she cute!  Julia and I are meeting up my my friend Megan this weekend and Megan is going to take some six month pictures.  I LOVE seeing my kiddos through Megan’s lens!  Cannot wait!

Julia is close to sitting and is just starting solids.  Elias has been busy helping me prepare her baby food.

These are just the kind of things I want to remember years from now!

On a business note, I am thinking of offering a workshop geared towards moms (or Dads) who would like to learn to use their cameras better and take better photos of their children.  Anyone interested?  If you are, leave a comment or send me an email, I would love to hear from you!

I went to high school with these cute kiddo’s mom, so when their grandma contacted me to do a photo shoot, I was so excited.  Up until the day of their session, the weather had been nice enough to go outside, but last weekend was too cold, so we stayed in!  Joycee was full of spunk and poses for me and Jett was sure a good sport too!  Look at these smiles!

When Elias gets up in the morning, he usually walks out and says, “How is the little lady today?”.   It makes me smile every single time.  Julia got these baby leg warmers as a baby gift, so I thought we better do a quick session in them:)  Here are a few shots that are sure to make you smile!

I had the chance to meet up with the Suess Family the day before Christmas for a quick shoot while the whole family was home.  With families quite spread out these days, it is so fun to see a whole family together, especially during  the holidays!  We lucked out with some great weather this day, can you believe how nice it has been?  Here are a few pictures before I head out the door again!
