Ashley [Minot Wedding Photographer]

We did Ashley's bridal session earlier this month, but we had to save the photos. She and Thomas shared a beautiful wedding day on Saturday (can hardly wait to share some of those photos), so now you can see Ashley in all her bridal glory. I LOVE bridal shoots!

Delicious Russ

Russ is a sweet, little man. He performed beautifully for being barely 4 months old. His sweet, little lips are my favorite part. His dimples...they are so grand. His spit bubbles are perfection. Babies are delicious, no?

Hope [Minot Family Maternity Photographer]

I've heard that I always say nice things about people on my blog. I want to assure you that I always mean what I say. If you meet me, I hope that's the impression you leave with; honesty. That's a preloading for this session. The best comparison I can make with this family is a glass of nice wine. The first few sips are are pleasant and good, but by the time the glass is emptied, you have a warm feeling and you want more.

Why did this family leave me with a warm feeling? They are quiet, but friendly...definitely genuine. They love their little guy to pieces and it's obvious he loves his life with them. They've endured a great deal of loss in their young lives and they never gave up hope. This new life is the fulfillment of that hope. I, sincerely, can not wait to meet their new baby.

Daddy's Ring [Minot Family Photographer]

So after the last session, I had this one...what an emotional weekend. If you've been following me from the beginning, you will recognize this family. They first came to me when their oldest was six months...so pretty much when I first got to Minot. Momma booked this session with me when she first found out she was pregnant with #3...so a lot time ago. Tragically, Daddy passed away in an accident on the job. I've just been so heartbroken about it ever since I heard the news. He passed one month before #3 was born. They really are the sweetest family. Momma is just so happy and sweet to her kiddos and the kiddos are obviously crazy about Momma. This is Daddy's wedding ring in the first photo.
