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.
Taya’s Birthday Club magnet
Not sure what to do in her tutu, here is Taya’s 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!
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.
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.

Keilah…It’s 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.
Addison’s newborn session
Casey and Kari brought their new bundle of joy Addison to see us today.
Addison was alert most of the time she was here…except for a little while when she was in her daddy’s arms.
More Birthday Magnets
As part of our Birthday Club, we do a free session and you get a complimentary magnet.
Carter turned 4 about the same time as his cousin Brayden celebrated his first birthday.

Dillon’s bag used to look just like everyone else’s. Now Mom can find her son’s bag right away thanks to a new custom bagtag.
Another cool magnet to show off…
Dillon & siblings
Little John
Little John, one of our Baby Plan babies is no baby any more. He’s three years old now.
The whole family has been a little under the weather since sunday, but things are looking up. The coughs, sniffles, aches and pains are slowly going away. Everyone is back at school and the studio…Life is almost normal – whatever normal is this time of year.
