Wyatt is growing up!

Melissa and Chad brought out Wyatt for his Birthday Club session. We’ve known this little guy since he was a newborn. No one will ever be able to fill Melissa’s shoes as our studio coordinator and we miss seeing Wyatt.

We have an invasion of frogs in the Rutland area. Wyatt was the happiest chasing frogs, holding frogs and talking to frogs. He picked them up and set them down. Frogs are cool.

Here is Wyatt’s Birthday Club magnet. Can you guess how old he is?

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.

Birthday Club magnets – Abbey and Audrey

Here are a couple of birthday magnets from earlier this summer. Both girls have always been a joy to work with. They love to smile, especially after they get to play with the toys. All kids seem to know instinctively where the toys are.

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.

Mary Hunter’s Class Piano Recital

Mary Hunter called and asked us to photograph her class piano recital at Trinity Lutheran Church a few weeks ago. We were happy to help her out.

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’s Birthday Club Magnet

05-13-10 saramag

Here’s Sara’s Birthday Club magnet. You can get yours too by bringing in your little girl or boy to the studio for a free session around the time of their birthday.

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.

We love working with little kids: you never know what you are going to get. Sometimes you get models that love to be in front of the camera. Sometimes you get the shy ones who want to attached themselves to Mom’s leg and never let go. We also get our share of wild ones that barely sit still long enough to get a picture. We love them all. We are a kid friendly place. We have lots of toys and all the kids no where the snack bucket is.

Adalyn at 3 Months

Adalyn is 3 months old already. Wow, does time fly and the little ones change so fast. Here is a picture of Adalyn when she was a newborn and then some of her 3 month pictures to show how much she has changed.

You have to have patience with babies. We take our time and let the kids get comfortable first and then we can take pictures.
You get to pick out your images right away, saving huge amounts of time and gas.

Now if we did not quite get what you wanted the first time, we can easily take a few more without having to schedule a new appointment. The longer the kids are here, the more they seem to like it. Our studio is big enough that they can run and play and still be in plain sight.
