Briggs [Minot Newborn Photographer]

Briggs was born with awesome hair. Like, rockstar-awesome. He was a bit old for a newborn session, almost 3 weeks, but we worked it out anyway. Crazy that the last time I saw this family, his big brother was about this age. I just love keeping up with families through photos. and I LOVE Briggs' hair.

Mike+Brittany [Minot Wedding Engagement Photographer]

Mike and Brittany are so natural together; they just fit. They are both teachers and coaches. I think in this case, it's not as much a case of opposites attract as it is a case of like-minded people attract. and my personal opinion is, this is a much better recipe for success, not that I'm a phsycologist or anything.

Are they not the cutest, most fun couple?

Toying with Us [Minot Baby Photographer]

Hannah is very sweet, but she toyed with us during her session. She would seem done and then would revive a little. She would seem done and then she would play with us. She would seem done and then grin a little. What Hannah doesn't know that she can't take a bad photo and so no amount of toying will sabotage her cuteness.

Reagan was such a good baby for me which translates to...I got to play a lot with her. She's #4 in her family, which probably contributes to her laid-back disposition. The best part is that her family is friends with our family and that means I've got lots of baby holding in my future. She's the most expressive newborn ever to sit in front of my camera; I love her little lips.

Really couldn't decide on a foot picture. Have I mentioned I love baby feet?

this really is proof that I'm hilarious

Crewie [Minot Baby Photographer]

Usually, I just can't believe how quickly a year has gone by as I wrap up a baby plan and Crewie's first year has, indeed, passed quickly. But what I'm reflecting on is that I can't believe I've only know him and his family for one short year; it feels like I've known them for a long time. The best way to say it is just that we're kindred spirits. The only difference, really, is that Crewie doesn't appear to like cake. and I really, really do.

Crew wore a tie, for modesty.

Happy Valentime's Day

I'll be sad when Henry stops saying Valentimes. When your baby is 8, you hold onto all the baby stuff you can. I love these kiddos; couldn't ask for better ones. Hope your day is spent with the ones you love. Love the ones you're with!

Capital D

This kid is seriously adorable, cooperative and loved. He's really giving me some serious baby fever right now. His little mouth...are you kidding me? He really is just pure Deliciousness. with a capital D.

Old Man Tucker

Tucker was one of my best, if not my best, 3 month old ever. He was happy the whole time, gave lots of fun expressions and was great with tummy time. I'm pretty certain he's going to be proud of himself when he gets older and sees how many cute pictures he has from his 3 month session. Good job, Tucker. I've had the song "Old Man Tucker" stuck in my head since his session...I finally looked it up. Apparently, it's "Old Dan Tucker," which really doesn't fit at all. I still can't get it out of my head.

Lovable.

I also have this set up in my family...had two girls and then the boy came and came with a vengeance. He steals the show, takes the attention and makes everyone laugh. This kiddo is, like my Henry, born for entertaining. With his huge eyes, long lashes, squishy face, and huge personality, he's just lovable. period. The whole family is just plain lovable.
