On the Road Again – Waldner’s – Madison SD Family Pictures

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.

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.

Teel Family – Colton South Dakota Family Photography

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.

Marv and Ruth

Christmas presents come in many forms. We like the gift of portraits. Marv and Ruth came up in early December for their session.

Ruth has sold Avon for years. If you’ve needed your washer or dryer repaired in the last 50 years, Marv has probably been to your house.

They were first the parents of my classmate David. They were then our next door neighbors. We now call them friends.

Marv and Ruth never seemed to age in our eyes, but time tints our memories. They take life a little easier these days, still going but working less.

Boys will be boys: Sievers Family – Rutland SD Family Photography

Branden and Delaina needed some new family pictures but the boys had more than a little fun posing for the camera. They were quite good at making goofy expressions.

Take yourself back in time not that long ago when the ground was not white and the temperatures were not freezing. We photographed the Spier family on a beautiful Fall afternoon at their place in Madison.

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.

Family Photography: The Falor Family

Nancy teaches at our local school and also manages the Rambler Stop. They came in before Christmas for their family pictures. We thought we’d share their card with you.

We’ve been busy since the Holidays. The usual winter slowdown that affects most photographers hasn’t shown up yet. We do have room to breathe which is very important after the Holiday rush.

Playtime is coming soon…

Sioux Falls South Dakota Family Photography: Kiley & family

Kiley had one of our Playtime sessions last year. We did her senior pictures over the summer with one of her classmates from Sioux Falls. Today we did a family session with her mom and two sisters.

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.

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.

Playin’ in the snow: Allen family

12 05 07 NDX 9954 Playin in the snow: Allen family

We took the camera outside for Allen’s family session on Saturday. We had a natural “Winter Wonderland” complete with falling snow, brisk winds and cold temps.

Chantel and Shannon were good sports through it all.

Briella and family

12 03 07 NDX 9462 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.

Bernard family

Bernard’s art print features a sunset that was a bit unusual: smoke from fires in Wyoming and Montana added a bit of haze to the sky that turned yellow as the sun set slowly into the western horizon.

Fiegen family

8 09 07 fiegenposter Fiegen familyWe are making family sessions more fun whenever we can.

After a more formal family session in the studio, we headed out with the Fiegen family to Lake Madison for a little tubing fun. Rachel & Dacey even got a chance to get into the act. We’d like to thank the Fiegen family for the great evening.

We think that their art poster turned out very cool.
