Haugen Family {Williston, ND Family Photgrapher}

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!

The Cousins {Williston, ND Child Photographer}

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!

Rory {Williston, ND Child Photographer}

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!

Snapshots from another month that has flown by! {Williston ND Child Photographer}

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!

Jacobsen Kids {Williston ND Child Photographer}

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!
