Taylor’s Birthday Club magnet
Taylor is “Little Miss Attitude”. She knows what she wants, doesn’t she Mom?
Here is Taylor’s Birthday Club magnet.
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?
Tyson’s Baby Plan Panel
Another cool Baby Plan Panel to show off. The babies sure do change in the first year. Call us at the studio if you are interested in our Baby Plan. It includes a framed 16×20 along with newborn, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month and one year sessions.
Maddison’s Birthday Club magnet
We’ve watched Maddison grow up. Grandma and Grandpa’s house is next door to the studio. We know that she is Grandma’s favorite subject to photograph. We think she is one of ours too. Here is Maddison’s Birthday Club magnet.
Taya’s Birthday Club magnet
Not sure what to do in her tutu, here is Taya’s Birthday Club magnet.
Briella’s Birthday Club magnet
Another fun Birthday Club magnet.
To get yours, bring your son or daughter into the studio around the time of their birthday to receive a free session and complimentary Birthday Club magnet.
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.
Avery at 3 months
It’s hard to believe that Avery is growing so fast.
Nathan and Claire – Birthday Club magnets
We met Kerrie in Madison for some “urban” images of Claire and Nathan. We had fun exploring the back alleys of downtown Madison. Here are their Birthday Club magnets.
Tristan at one year
Tristan is one year old. He definitely doesn’t look like a baby any more.
Elliot
Elliot is one expressive little girl. She was so easy to work with…a photographer’s dream. Here is her one year magnet.
Adalyn at 6 months
You just have to love the wings!
Raena is 6 years old!
Raena’s birthday has come and gone. We had a great time at the studio. Mom brought balloons and Raena had this cool purple flower as part of her outfit. Above is her Birthday Club magnet.
Jeff, Tiffany and Max…all the way from Wisconsin!
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
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
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
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!
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
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
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.
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.
Mom and Dad are going to be thrilled when they get their pictures.

Alonna & Treyton
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.

Birthday Club: Elijah & Madysen
Elijah and Madysen both took advantage of the birthday club this month. If you join the birthday club you get a free session and 3×6 magnet. Here are a few of their pictures and the free magnets.
Baby Plan: Taya’s Changes from Newborn to 6 months
Taya is 6 months old already. Here are a few pictures to show how much Taya has changed in the last 6 months. Taya is part of our baby plan here at Black Studios so we have seen her change each month.
Children Photography: Orion & Brodie
Orion and Brodie came into the Studio for a suprise Christmas present for their mother. We had a blast taking their pictures and as you can see they were all smiles.
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.
Paige Turns 5!
Paige is turning 5!
Paige is part of the birthday club here at Black Studios. We enjoy seeing her change from year to year.
