How is he 1 already? {Mandan ND Photographer}

I know it's super cliche, but man, I can't believe how fast time flies!  This shoot went nothing as planned.  Our balloons floated away, the ground wasn't even enough for our chair, he wanted nothing to do with my fuzzy blankets.....but you know what?  That's okay!  I always stress to parents that we'll catch smiles, especially if we just let them play.  His idea of fun was pretending to eat the leaves.  Now that's a real smile! :)

Pinterest Anyone?!?

Let me know if you'd like me to add some flair to your images!  These are super cute hanging up!

Trey: 2013 Senior {Bismarck ND Photographer}

Trey's mom called because he was going to graduate a year early and needed some senior pictures.  He was not overly excited in the beginning, but I think he ended up not completely hating the process :)  A  huge thank-you to his sister for helping me drag him around the yard and making him smile!!! 

Catch Up! {ND Newborn Photographer}

I am going to try to play catch up this month.  I was super good about adding sneak peeks to my Facebook page, but have been severely lacking on the blog front.   I'll try to just stick to two or three images at a time :)  We have a gorgeous maternity picture and the beautiful baby that resulted!

52 on Friday: Innocence

This week's theme was innocence.  As a teacher I see children lose their innocence faster and faster with today's technology, tv shows, and music.  It makes me sad to see kids that don't want to play and have no imaginations.  Kids that you give a tub full of blocks and they look at you like you're crazy.  It makes my heart smile to spend time with my niece who still thinks she is a full out princess (or butterfly, depending on the day!) Next, check out liza hall http://www.lizahallphotography.com and see how she interpreted the theme.

52 on Friday: Small

Newborns might be cliche for the theme small, but I couldn't help it.  I just love tiny toes...Next check out Amy Ames at http://www.amyamesphotography.com

52 on Fridays: Fresh

Well, with school starting next week I instantly thought fresh crayons :)  I think there is almost nothing better than opening a fresh box of crayons.  It just smells like a fresh start!  On my way to take pictures at school I saw that the fresh corn stand I always go to was open.  My crayon picture taking adventure quickly turned into a freezing fresh corn adventure.  Always delish!  Next, check out Faye Kingston, Miramichi, NB Photographer, http://fkphotography.ca and see how she interpreted fresh!
