Check out a few of the Delaney family photographed at McCory Gardens in Brookings.














We photographed Jena, Jason and Brady at Lake Herman State Park a couple of weeks ago.

We were at the Lakes Resort this morning photographing the Asmussen Family Reunion…minus Heather. They all miss her and wish her a speedy recovery.

Last year, Barb contacted the studio and commissioned what turned into a several month project for her husband’s Christmas present. We photographed farm operations throughout the growing season. We sat down with Barb and designed a composite canvas print that now greets visitors as they come into the front door. John Green did the framing. We think it turned out great.

We photographed Paul and Shonda as when they came in with their extended family for a reunion session. Paul and Shonda run Advanced Media Systems
, a company that specializes in high end home and church media installations.

Our friend Sarah Howe is going to Haiti at the end of March. We have to decided to support her trip to Haiti with this year’s Caring Cutie Contest. Sarah is the daughter of Janet Weber of Weber Abstract and grew up in Madison. Check out the information below on how you can help Sarah make a difference in Haiti.

Now that we are well past the new year, we can share Christmas cards from last year. This one is of the Waldner family.

More baby pictures from Kynley’s 3 month baby plan session…




You’ll find all of Mike and Lori’s family on the road going to and from some sort of sports event. It might be a triathlon, a half-marathon, swimming, wrestling, football or track. I get tired just thinking of all of that dedication.

Another Christmas Card that we can now show you. Terry and Christie, Jordan and Lexi come every year for their Christmas portrait session.

We had a beautiful Fall for taking pictures outside. Stephanie brought her kids in for fun family session. Check out the Christmas Card that ElizaBeth designed.

The Hojer boys sure have gotten bigger.
Change happens too quickly in our lives and before we realize it, the kids have grown a bunch. Don’t wait to long to have your family portrait taken.


Terry and Christie brought out Jordan and Lexi for their annual Christmas portrait earlier this month. Amazingly Terry and Christie have not aged at all even as their kids get older.


We had an awesome time with the Gilbert family last month. It was great seeing my college friend Kim again. Time seems to be flying by.
If all of your family will be around for the holidays, give us a call at 586.4143 and schedule an appointment. We can handle large groups in our studio of 20 to 30+.

To schedule your family session, call ElizaBeth at the studio 586-4143

Check out some of Keri’s family’s pictures from earlier this Fall.


We do all kinds of photography but we like to think that we do the best with the little ones. While I am behind the camera, ElizaBeth is entertaining, running back and forth and getting smiles. Now Kynley was a bit too small to smile for her newborn session but that didn’t stop ElizaBeth for working her magic.

Here’s one of Mom and Dad from their maternity session.

We’ve been busy with family pictures for Christmas. The madness is starting to slow down. We do have a few sessions available yet, but don’t wait to call.

Greg (Klooter), son Garrett and maybe Lynda too LOVE the Green Bay Packers. Here are a few images from their recent family session.


And for a little fun we will turn back the clock a little over three years and see how much Garrett has grown up.

Terry, Christie, Jordan and Lexi came for family pictures last night. Now I can’t show you this year’s card just yet: I don’t want to be a spoiler, but we can show you last year’s version.

We don’t just do Christmas cards this time of year. We create composite wall portraits as well. Here is one of two that we did for the Engbrecht family.

Mike and Lori brought their family out to the studio. It was a nice enough day that we ended up doing the entire session outside. Here are a few of their favorite images.
We do have two spots open on this Saturday for family pictures. Call ElizaBeth at the studio if you are interested – 586-4143.





I’ve known Debi literally all of my life. She was always hanging out at our farm place with my mother and the horses when I was growing up. Here are a few from their family session several weeks ago.


It just seems like yesterday that we photographed Kazzie’s wedding and now look at her family. How many of you remember her from her basketball days playing for Dakota State?
Yes you still have time for family pictures before Christmas, but don’t put off calling for your session too much longer.


It has been a great Fall for outside pictures. Check out these pictures of the Hanson family.
We still have sessions available for Christmas family pictures. Call ElizaBeth at the studio: 586-4143. You get to pick out the images right away on our big screen.





Garrett and his parents were at the studio Saturday morning for their family Christmas portrait session with a decidely yellow and green theme. Check out this sneak peak of Garrett all ready to cheer on his favorite team.

It’s wild to see the changes a few short years make. Here’s a sneak peak from the Engbrecht’s family session.


Jason and family came to see us a couple of weeks ago for pictures in Rutland. We had another beautiful day for outside pictures.
We still have sessions available for pictures in time for Christmas. Right now the studio is full of activity as we finish up orders and design albums.



Lynda, Greg and Garrett came to the studio this morning for family pictures. Lynda wanted a new facebook profile picture and we were glad to help.
Which one do you like better: left or right?
