Ellingsons

Here's one of this little man's many facial expressions!

Doesn't it look like she's having a fun time?

Wait, another wonderful facial expression! I love it!

Who's the cutie at the end of the tunnel?

Uh-oh? Who fell to the ground?
(I love the expression on her face!)

Getting all three to walk together was quit easy...mommy and daddy were very helpful!

Now's that what I call a real smile!

So pretty!

Look at those sparkling blue eyes!

I had the opportunity to photograph a 1 year old, 3 year old and 5 year old all at the same time. We started with the group picture because that one is always the hardest. They sat really well for me and the result was few great group pictures!
We also took pictures of each child individually. They were each so darn cute! They have wonderful personalities! The little boy made such funny faces that it cracked me up! They all had amazing eyes which you can see in the pictures.

Family of Three

Look at this super star!

He tried so hard NOT to smile!

A little monkey in the tree!

There's a real smile.

He even started posing the family because he was having so much fun!

What a great family shot!

He's covering his dimple with his hand so I couldn't see it.

This was a fun photo shot. I actually knew the little boy from art class last year for I was his art teacher. (small world!) At first he was really shy but I got him to crack some really big smiles. He has a dimple, and he doesn't like to show it ;(
We took a variety of family pictures as well as pictures of just him. We took pictures at two different locations. An hour was a great amount of time because it gave the boy time to warm up to me. By the time we got to the second location, he was posing away for me!

Schultz Family

Another wonderful fall day. Of course, these days will soon be at there end but today let's not think about the cold coming!
This family managed to get all their schedules together to get family pictures done. As you can image, it was very hard. They took pictures for their parents who are going to be celebrating many years of marriage in November. What a sweet thing to do. I bet they will love it!

Josh & Carrie E-Session

We had yet another beautiful fall day to take pictures. I have been really lucky with great weather this year! We started in downtown and then moved to the Myra Museum. I like these two different locations because they offer a wide array of backgrounds!
Carrie and Josh are a great couple. They were a lot of fun and easy to work with. They had wonderful smiles! They will be getting married next fall! They are going to make a beautiful bride and handsome groom the day of their wedding.

The Simons

Isn't this cute. They didn't want to touch each other!

I love how mom and dad held hands without me even telling them to do it!

We snuck in a few individual shots for her.

I love how they wrapped around each other. It really shows how they are as a family.

It was 70 plus degrees for this photo shot. I'd call that a blessing, considering you never know what North Dakota will give you at this time of year. This family was fun to work with. At first, everyone was really serious. I threatened to dance like a chicken if they didn't give me some real smiles.. ha ha ha. Well, it worked. We got some great family shots. The son will be graduating this year so I'm sure these are pictures they will forever treasure.

Mr and Mrs. Hillhouse Take Two

Here are a few more pictures from last weekends wedding. Enjoy!
