Erin Vournas Photography | Williston, NDOver the Thanksgiving holiday, my aunts and their families traveled up to Williston. While they were here, I had the opportunity to photograph them. We had a gorgeous day for photos and I always love shooting out at my Grandparents yard.
First up, the Dorwart Family:
Next up, the Suny Family:
Often when I was in Jr High and High School, I would go to Colorado and visit during the summers….I cannot believe how grown up everyone is….that means I am older too:)!
Look at this little doll! I was so happy that our move here was timed perfectly to photograph this little sweetheart! She is the fifth in her family and is so adored by all of her siblings, in fact, I don’t think there is ever a time when she is not held….just how it should be:)
I just loved her little profile.
Our family is making the move back to Williston, ND. Alex and I are both from Williston and a great job opportunity came up for Alex, so this Wednesday we will head out to begin our new adventure! We are so excited to raise our kiddos with family. I have such great memories with my Grandparents growing up and am excited for my kids to have those memories too.
Leaving Thief River Falls will be difficult! Alex and I have been here for seven years. We purchased our first home here, brought our babies home here, and have made SO MANY wonderful friendships. Our time here has truly been a blessing and we will always have fond memories of our life here.
Now onto the pictures…..
The last six weeks has been a whirlwind, full of decision making and all of the wonderful events of everyday life! I looked at the date of this photo and it is from October, 4th! I have so many photos, I just picked a few.
Elias absolutely adores Julia and I am sure she feels the same, you should see how she looks at him!
Julia was almost three months in these photos….she will be four months in nine days! I can’t believe it!
Her three month photo: I can just hear her squealing when I look at this. My Aunt Mary made her the quilt, it is so special to have handmade things from family!
We lucked out with a pretty nice day for Trick-or-Treating.
Elias had so much fun going around the neighborhood with the Hughes boys! Of all the things we will miss most about Thief River, this sweet family tops the list! We just love these boys!
Is he not the perfect little Yoda?
Elias turned FIVE on November 3rd! He had a pirate themed party and I had so much fun crafting for it. I also had big plans for photographing all the details, but the party was a busy one!
Like I said, it was a BUSY party! Swords and a pinata….we are lucky no one was hurt!!
Elias hasn’t napped for a long time, but he rests everyday and during this time, he usually fills his bed with books and reads. His new favorite is this Star Wars Character Encyclopedia from his birthday:)
I took pictures of Julia’s nursery a week or so ago, here is one for now….we will see if I get to posting more later:)
Elias also loves LEGOs and has gotten quite good at them.
I was so happy when Eva’s mom contacted me about a newborn photo shoot; there is just nothing in the whole world like a newborn baby! I loved spending a couple hours with this family and their sweet baby girls!
First of all, isn’t this a gorgeous family!
It is no surprise their new baby girl is gorgeous too!
I know I have said it before, but I LOVE baby yawns:)!
I love the chance to photograph repeat clients! It is so fun to see the changes in the pictures! Last year Ellie was just a baby and look at her now! We had another COLD October morning for these photos, but the kids were great and the session went quick! Here are a few of my favorites.
