Kate, Six Months

Megan — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 16:13:46 +0000

Kate was just a tiny newborn the last time I saw her (and crazy to think I was still pregnant with Wesley at that time, too!) so it was definitely fun to see her once again! She and her parents ventured out to West Wind Farm for our session. Her newborn pictures were taken here, too–in my parents livingroom! This time we went outdoors. Kate was all smiles as I snapped away, and her personality just shines through the photos. What a happy little girl!

Ian

Ian is my husband’s cousin, so it was fun to see him again all grown up and ready for his senior pictures! We met out at Nathan’s grandparent’s farm again (which of course just so happens to be Ian’s grandparent’s farm too) so it was the perfect location–we even used the airplane hangar! We were literally racing the rain clouds and running away from mosquitoes the entire time, but you’d never be able to tell from these shots. Ian did great and we were done just in time–the rain drops started to fall after I snapped the last picture!

Ashley

It was a gorgeous evening (just a little windy!) for my session with Ashley. We met up in Hallock and did a few shots by the old elevator, and then headed out to my husband’s grandparents farm. I loved all her colorful fun outfits! We utilized a lot of the great old buildings around the farm, including the white house and the grain bins. And of course that pretty evening light coming through the trees at just the right angle! Here are my favs!

Kylan

I think Kylan is right up there with one of the easiest one-year-olds I’ve had the pleasure of photographing–he literally SMILED the whole time! No coaxing needed, he was as happy as can be and looked right at the camera for all his shots. We ventured around the farm (another session at West Wind!) in the golf cart and had a great time. Here are just some of my favorites. His mom and dad will have a tough time deciding because he is smiling in pretty much every picture in their album, too! What a cutie!

Emma and Ethan

This is my second session with Emma and Ethan… hard to believe another year has gone by! They had another lovely evening for pictures except for one thing–the mosquitoes! I actually had to photoshop some of those pesky bugs out of the pictures! They were great sports, though, and thankfully we were armed with enough bug spray to keep them somewhat under control. You may remember how high Ethan flew last year–he did it again this time, too!

Presley, Paige, and Marshall

Can you believe this is my fifth year photographing this family? Not only does it remind me of how long I’ve been in business, but I just love yearly family photos. Check out last year’s session here. It’s fun to see how much taller the kids grow and also to think of different unique spots to take pictures! This time we opted for Nathan’s grandparents farmyard. We discovered the back side of the old barn had some great red wood, and the grassy trails amongst the oak trees were a perfect backdrop. This time they even brought the family dog! Here are some of my favorites!

Wesley, Four-and-a-half Months!

Megan — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 14:50:19 +0000

Just thought I’d pop in between client posts to share a few updated pictures of my own handsome little boy! Wesley is now 20 weeks old… how is this possible? We’ve had quite an adventure so far, though, and I am enjoying every minute I can soaking up his babyhood. After a busy summer of traveling all over the Midwest (Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, South Dakota, North Dakota, and of course, Minnesota) we’ve settled down for the time being while harvest finishes up here. Wesley is FULL of personality now. He grins, giggles, babbles, and hums. He can sit pretty good on his own for a little while if balanced well, and rolls over too! He chews on his toes, toys, fingers, and even Mommy’s hair if he gets a good hold on it! He’s absolutely gorgeous if I do say so myself, with big sparkly blue eyes and long golden eyelashes. Enough words–here are the latest pics!

Brynn, Six Months

Megan — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 16:29:40 +0000

How is it possible that little Brynn is already half a year old? I was still pregnant with Wesley the last time I saw her, so I guess it makes sense in that regard! She’s just a doll with the most perfect rosebud lips. We met up at University Park (a rare occasion these days with my travel cut back) but it was good to see them again and shoot in that pretty location for the first time in a long time! Here are some of my favorites.. she was so tuckered out she fell asleep right at the end of the session!

Grace, Charlie, and Rose

Megan — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 20:22:59 +0000

It’s been almost two years since my last session with these guys… and they’ve grown! Little Rose was welcomed into the family and they sure do love her lots! They were kind enough to make the trip from Fargo and met up with me in Hallock. I thought it would be fun to do a couple “urban” shots near the grain elevator across the street before we headed out to my parent’s farm. I love finding new areas to shoot, and it’s fun to find something so close. It was right across the street from our meeting place! Here are a few of my MANY favorites!

The Suda Family!

Megan — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 17:06:18 +0000

What a fun bunch! Zach, Emma, Ethan, Bella, and Alivia (along with Mom and Dad, too!) were a blast to photograph, and definitely made my job easy! The kids were naturals at posing, and I loved the coordinating colors they chose for outfits. The blues really popped, especially with the semi-overcast day. We used some fun farm buildings as backdrops, too. Just goes to show you can make so many unusual places look cool in a photograph!
