Lexi, Gabe, and Ian

I met up with this cute family last week.   It was so nice to see them again!   Poor little Ian wasn’t feeling the greatest, so it was a quick session, but I think we still got some great shots:)

Oh those curls!  I just LOVE them!

A little out take from the session….it just made me smile!

Jacob & Ellie

A couple weeks ago I met up with my friend Megan in Fargo to talk about photography and shoot together.  It was so much fun to spend the day with Megan talking about photography; she has been a big help to me!

Since we were planning to shoot together, we needed some models, so I asked our friends Clint and Nancy to bring their kiddos out for us to photograph.  Jacob is a super fun four year old!  Ellie is so sweet! She is nine months and in the “stranger danger” phase and just learning to walk.  She was on the go and kept a very close eye on her Daddy!   Thanks again Clint and Nancy for coming out in the heat!  Hope you enjoy the photos!

I just LOVE her blue eyes!

The whole reason I set out to learn about photography….

Here are some pictures from a recent photo shoot I did/tried to do with Elias.  First let me say, taking pictures of my own child is hard!  I have tons of pictures of him doing daily things, but I don’t take him out too often to do a shoot anymore.  We were in Grand Forks for the weekend with my parents and it was a beautiful evening, so I decided to take him out and he lasted about 7 minutes, but here is what I got and I think he is pretty sweet anyway!

This is the face he makes when he says, “You’ve GOT to be kidding me!”  I don’t even remember what I was joking with him about:)

For anyone who knows my bother Daniel, I think the picture on the left looks an awful lot like him (only the blonde version maybe:))!  When I told Elias that he looked like Daniel, he got the BIGGEST smile on his face, after all, Uncle Daniel is his idol!

Right about here the complaining began!

Still trying to negotiate leaving and going to get ice cream!  He is quite the little negotiator:)

Ending the session on a happy note!

We are having a family session this fall as well as some pictures of Elias by Megan Milbradt of Everyday Art Photography,  a fabulous photographer in the Bismark, ND area and I CANNOT wait!  I haven’t had professional pictures of Elias taken since he was a baby and we have never had a family photo.

Belle {almost 4}

Belle was a treat to photograph!  She has such a fun little personality.  She is the same age as my son Elias and I always love to meet other children his age.    Belle loved to talk about Lady and the Tramp (a favorite at our house at the moment as well, so I could really “talk the talk”:)) , she was quick to demonstrate how she is learning to do cart wheels and somersaults, and loved to have me watch how fast she could run!  I had a great time photographing Belle; hope you enjoy the pictures!

I even caught a rainbow in the picture on the left.

Just as we were finishing up, Belle’s mom asked if I could just take a few shots of them together and I love this!  Let this be a reminder to me to take pictures with Elias….I am always on the wrong side of the camera!

Addy & Libby

We  had the worst luck with weather while scheduling this photo session.  I think this is the third time we attempted photos, but it was worth it… these girls are so sweet!

Addy turned 3  in May.  I just adore her round sweet face and I love her hair!  This picture was taken between rain storms:)

Libby is 2.5 months, isn’t she sweet and again, I LOVE the hair!

Thanks for being so flexible with scheduling the pictures:)
