The joy of being one year old!

Happiness can be measured in many ways, but when you are just turning one year old, there is joy in running. Running to Mom makes us happy. Running away from Mom as she tries to tickle makes us giggle.

Jeff and Tiffany brought Max to visit Great-Grandma Beth in Madison a few weeks ago. We brought our location setup to the Bethel Assisted Living Suites for some family pictures. Tiffany’s mom RoseAnn joined in the fun. It seems like Jeff and Tiffany’s wedding was just yesterday.

Aliya at 2 years old

05-14-10 aliyamag

Aliya is a beautiful baby girl, but she really isn’t a baby any more.

Most 2 yr olds can get their parents to understand them through pointing and single word commands like “juice”.

Aliya uses complete sentences. She says “please” and “thank you”. Aliya is a thoughtful soul full of smiles. Spend enough time with Aliya and you forget that most 2 year olds are into everything and anything all the time followed by parents just trying to keep up.

The top image is Aliya’s Birthday Club magnet. The bottom two images are her 4×10 panels.

Sara turns 2 years old

05-08-10 Sara

Sara is 2 years old. How cool is that! Mom brought Sara from Sioux Falls for her birthday pictures.

Our studio is perfect for the little ones. We have toys, very few rules, plenty of time and of course, the snack bucket. There is no line to stand in. You don’t feel you are being herded through like cattle. Pictures should be FUN!

We have this thing called the “Birthday Club”. You get a FREE session for your child’s birthday. The session doesn’t have to be on the birthday, just close: within a week or two.

We had so much fun with Sara that we put a few up on our slideshow site. Sara’s slideshow

Karstyn’s Birthday Cake Surprise!

04-28-10 Karstyn Cake

How can you resist cake on your first birthday! We were in luck. Karstyn came in for her birthday session and ElizaBeth had an extra cake just waiting for her. Mmm, good frosting! Then, when Karstyn was done she just didn’t know which way to go, but, oops, into the cake. Those cute little gellie shoes worked perfectly for sticking to all that frosting. Luckily, Mom came to the rescue.

Don’t worry, Karstyn, every year we get a little older, we feel like stomping a few cakes, too.

Karstyn’s Baby Plan Panel

04-27-10 karstynpanel

We love those babies. Karstyn is growing up way too fast. Here is her Baby Plan Panel. It’s a framed 16×20 and it comes with the purchase of the Baby Plan. Our Baby Plan includes newborn, 3, 6 9 and 12 month sessions. You can buy as many pictures as you want.

Elijah picking out pictures this morning

03-13-10 Elijah

Mike and Amy from Pierre brought Elijah for his 9 month pictures this morning. Elijah was wonderful to work with. He’s just about ready to take off walking on his own.

03-13-10 QRS_7790

Elijah was really into looking at himself on the screen. Every time Dad tried to sit down Elijah would throw a fit. Bring Elijah close to the screen and he would laugh and giggle.

03-13-10 QRS_7794

Mom and Dad are going to be thrilled when they get their pictures.

Happy Birthday, Kyra!

Kyra came to visit last week to get ready for her birthday.  It seems like  yesterday that we did her mommy and daddy’s wedding and now here’s Kyra on the move.  Not quite walking yet, but she will be tomorrow!  And who could resist that adorable little smile, and big dark eyes.kyra's magnet

She dressed up in her mommy Kindra’s little one-year old dress, but she really got excited when she found the green tractor just like daddy Russell’s.

Keilah…It’s Easter

03 23 08 NDX 0273 Keilah...Its Easter

Happy Easter! It’s a day of hope and a day for family. Like most Sundays, we are closed. We’ll be back tomorrow morning.

We cut a telephone wire by accident in the basement while removing the old stove. We will have it spliced back together tomorrow morning. The phone still works in the studio but doesn’t ring in the house right now.

Keilah came to see us yesterday afternoon along with the rest of her extended family. ElizaBeth is fantastic at getting babies to smile.

We are lucky because we can do large family groups inside. Since our studio is an old church, there is plenty of room for everyone. We’ve done groups of up to 40 people inside. We have places for large groups outside as well.

You never know what you are going to get when you are working with babies. Sometimes the outtakes are fun to show off too. It’s nice to have that perfect smile, but along the way we can get lots of attitude like we got from Jake this afternoon.

Casey and Kari came from Pierre, South Dakota, for a maternity session on Saturday morning. It seems just like yesterday (really two years ago) that we photographed their wedding.

We thought that we’d post a teaser image right away. The rest of them will be processed in a couple of days.

FYI – ElizaBeth will be out of the studio until Tuesday. Mike will be in and out of the office on Monday. We will return all messages ASAP.
