This had to be one of the fastest sessions I’ve ever done, with still the most amount of awesome photos as a result! When we started the session there were dark looming clouds that were literally about to pour down any second. We rushed around to different spots on the farm to make sure we at least got a few family photos just in case we were rained out, and the kids cooperated so well, which totally helped! By the time we got to the barn, the sprinkles had started, and then we had to make a RUN for it back to the house as the rain started! Luckily we had most of the shots by then, so we just did a few fun ones in the rain under the back porch roof. Check ‘em out!
It’s so fun to photograph newborns, especially after I’ve had my own! Little Jolie was just a couple weeks old when they came up to Hallock for their session. You might remember big sister Julia from last year when she was a newborn. This time as a one-year-old she was full of mischief and smiles, showing off her pink Barbie car and her walking skills! Here are some of my picks!

Jenna’s sister is a photographer, but since she was so involved with the wedding they realized they needed someone to help capture the day–so that’s where I stepped in! It was nice to have just short day (I covered the posed pictures ’till the end of the ceremony) so I was able to get back home to my baby a little quicker than usual. It was also a fun challenge to find spots for photos. The church yard was limited, so I ran across the (busy) street and asked if we could use a neighbor’s backyard. Coupled with the fact that it was on the edge of the dike with some fabulous overgrown grass, you’d never guess we were right in town and not in a country meadow! That’s the beauty of photography–here are my picks!

Way back in 2002, I had a job at the Fargo YMCA as a school age leader working with kids all summer long. One of those kids was Kaitlyn, and to my surprise, (well not so much of a surprise these days with Facebook!) we found each other on the site a few months back, and she asked if I could shoot her senior pictures. Considering the last time I saw her she was only in about third grade, I was so excited to meet up with her again and see how much she had “grown up”. She has turned into a beautiful young woman and we had so much fun looking for spots to take pictures, and her dad even brought along his classic car to use in a few. It was fun to catch up–here are my favorites!

We’ve been on the road again! We just returned from another 2 week trip out to visit my husband and the harvesters who had been in South Dakota. They finally finished up a couple days ago, and now I’m happy to say we’re ALL finally home together back in Minnesota, with the harvest here in full swing! While we were gone, Wesley’s cousins Kajsa, Quin, and Delia came to visit. It was also due time for Delia’s one year pictures, so we headed downtown for a fun little urban session. The next day before everyone left we did a few more family shots, including Nathan and I! As a photographer I know how rarely I’m in FRONT of the camera, so I took advantage of it. I also added a few “Wesley” extras. He’s now FOUR MONTHS OLD!
…and a few of Wesley and the cousins with Grandma and Grandpa!
Riding combine with Daddy.
He’s a blondie, now.
Giddy-up!
