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!

This has been such a busy fall.  I have been enjoying my days with the kids as well as staying busy with photos!   Of course I take a ton of photos of these two, but many of them sit in folders on my computer until they get into their yearly books:)  These are a few favorites from a recent evening outside:)

This guy will be 5 in less than a month

I had the pleasure of photographing this sweet baby girl a couple of weeks ago.  I also hosted a baby shower for her this week and have been waiting to post the photos together, so here it goes….this may be a long post!

I kind of want to post all these sweet pictures, but I think I will move onto a few shots of the baby shower now.  I had so much fun planning and crafting  for this shower!  Warning, I am not a product photographer, but you will get the idea:)

A few of Elias:)

June 6, 2011

We finally have had a few nice days around here and today was perfect for our first official day of summer vacation!  Elias and I had an awesome day just hanging out at home and playing in the yard.  The weather was too perfect not to fit a few photos in this evening.   I am looking so forward to these next six weeks at home with Elias before our little family of three becomes a family of four!  I LOVE this guy!!

Excited to share…

March 14, 2011

We are expecting a baby in mid July!  All three of us are THRILLED!  I am 22 weeks and just had an ultrasound today, everything looked great!  It was so fun to have a glimpse of our baby:)   I am just in awe of this little miracle and how perfect God’s timing is!  I cannot wait to have a baby in the house again and Elias is going to be the best BIG brother!

Excited to share... uncategorized

Sorry to disappoint everyone, but we did not find out the gender of our baby:)  I have absolutely no desire to know before he or she is born…what a great surprise!

Last weekend we got together with these cute boys to play and get a few shots to use for their valentine cards.

Treston just turned four this last week, isn’t he handsome:)  You probably recognize this shirt from some pictures of Elias this fall….I love these shirts!

Kelton {Cake Smash}

November 22, 2010

Here he is again….one of my favorite babies is turning one next week.  In honor of his upcoming birthday we had to do a cake smash session!  Kelton loved this….the whole time he was saying “YUM YUM YUM YUM!”.

Here wasn’t sure what he was in for while I was setting up:

He took one look at the cake and started “warming up”:

Nick was so much fun to photograph; he was so laid back and easy going!  He and his mom came to the session with many ideas for the types of pictures he wanted to come away with.  I had a really hard time narrowing down the pictures for this post.

Emi {Senior}

August 27, 2010

Emi and I got together again to finish up her senior pictures.  We did part of her session back in June and finished up with some pictures in a wheat field, a few shots with her sister, and a few at another new location.  Emi is a natural in front of the camera!  I had a difficult time choosing images for this post because there were so many great shots:)!
