I met up with this family at the train depot in town. Mason is three and is so into trains. The depot is one of his favorite places to go, so it was the perfect place for his three year old photos and some family shots too. The depot was full of action this evening and I learned a ton about trains from Mason.
They brought along the new bike Mason got for his birthday and he was happy to show me his new skills!
I cannot believe my sweet baby will be eight months tomorrow! Time flies! She is such a blessing to our family! She is at such a fun age (I am pretty sure I feel this away about every stage:))! She is sitting, army crawling (so close to crawling), she loves to feed herself, does “so big”, waves “bye bye”. She is so interested in everything and is still super cuddly and loves to be held.
Look at those two little teeth….I LOVE HER!
The day after I took these indoor shots, it was 75 degrees so we went out quick after supper. It was a quick shoot! Julia was super fussy, which is unlike her….then I noticed she got an eye tooth!
Her big brother really does love her!
The pose on the left is one of his “senior poses”-haha!
I had so much fun spending an hour with this little guy last week! I just love this age!
Isn’t he ADORABLE?!
His dad is a big baseball fan!
I just love this one! How cute is he?
Last weekend I met up with this sweet family! We had planned for indoor photos when they booked their session, but the weekend was much too nice to stay inside:) Here are a few favorites!
I last photographed Blake when he was a tiny newborn! He is 18 months now and has such a great little personality!
One day after school last week, we went over to “the Cousin’s house”, as Elias says, for a quick photo session for Valentine cards. Here are a few of my favorites! I have a ton of my own kids to post, hopefully I can get to those later this week:) Happy Valentine’s Day!
This family had contacted me to set up an appointment for an outdoor winter family photo. When we saw last weekend had highs in the 40′s, we decided to set up the session. The frost hung around almost all day and made a great backdrop. We quickly grabbed some outdoor shots and then headed inside, even a “warm” North Dakota winter is cold for little ones.
Isn’t she just the Cutest! If you follow my blog, I am sure you have seen her before! She belongs to my dear friend and photography buddy Megan. This past weekend, Megan and I got together with our girls and did a little photo session. Here are a few pictures of Rory!
It is really too bad she isn’t cute at all…
It is also too bad she has no personality;)
I bet you are smiling at your screen by now! She has the biggest, best, most contagious smile (and laugh). She looks a lot like her momma!
Thanks for the fun afternoon girls! Hope to do it again soon!
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!
Each year the kids do the Nativity at my in-laws house
Elias loves his baby sister and Julia loves her big brother!
This one just cracked me up!
Toes or toys?
Elias spends lots of time building with Legos!
Who would have thought my mom, Julia, and I would be walking lots in January! Aren’t these two pretty?:)
Buddies:) He is SO good to her!
We love play dates with the cousins!
and lazy days coloring! Elias spends A LOT of time in costume!
Walking and riding scooter in January! I LOVE it!
Julia loves her jumperoo, I should try to post a video….she can really get going!
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:)
Look who turned 6 months last week!
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!
