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.

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.

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.

We’ve known Taylor’s parents a long time…way before they got married…so it’s fun to watch their family grow. Taylor came in for her 3 month pictures and we thought we would share a couple.

Baby Photography: Casey and Kari are going to have a baby!

01 13 08 NDX 4326 Baby Photography: Casey and Kari are going to have a baby!

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.

Dillon hangs out at the studio a lot. Mom works for us one day a week.

While Mom does her thing, Dillon keeps a close eye on her. He’s almost to the point of being mobile…What are we going to do then?

Briella and family

Briella came in for her 6 month pictures as part of our Baby Plan.

Mom and Dad joined in for a family picture just in time for Christmas.

Macy

11 29 07 NDX 9209 Macy

This morning’s baby session was Macy. She was all dressed up for Christmas.

Wow do the babies grow up fast. It seems just like yesterday that we did Macy’s newborn pictures.

Yes, there is still time to schedule your family session and get your pictures and cards back in time for Christmas.

We are in the midst of the Christmas rush now with cards and wall portraits. ElizaBeth is finishing up designing the wedding and senior albums.

Baby Plan: Jack turns one

11 02 07 NDX 3723 Baby Plan: Jack turns one

11 02 07 NDX 3782 Baby Plan: Jack turns one

Jack is turning 1 yr old next week.

Wow, does time fly and the little ones change so fast.

Now we really haven’t promoted our Baby Plan and Birthday Club, but that dosn’t mean we aren’t busy having fun with little ones.

You have to have patience with babies. We don’t just allow 15 minutes and herd you through here like cattle. No, 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 didn’t quite get what you wanted the first time, we can easily take a few more without having to schedule a new appointement. 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.

Now Jack was happy enough when he came this morning but the smiles and giggles took a while to come out. ElizaBeth started playing peekaboo with Jack and before long we had big grins. We kept Jack leaning over the end of the couch and brought one of our lights over to him.

Like most 1 yr olds, Jack is still working on getting this walking thing mastered so we dug out a box for him to lean against to keep his balance and make him feel more secure.
