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.

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.

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

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.
