See, I told you I’ve had an influx of senior girls!
Monthly Archives: August 2010
Today was an exciting day! Rory started pre-kindergarten. We were thinking that she wouldn’t be able to go to preschool this year just because of the feasibility of me getting her picked up, dropped off, taken to daycare, all of that. The timing wasn’t working with my work schedule, and I was a little bit disappointed. But last week, there was a last minute cancellation at the one school that would work for us, and we got the spot!
Last night, she had picked out her outfit and told me a million times what she wanted to bring in her lunch. When we got to the school, I was getting her out of the car, and when she saw me grab my camera, I could tell she was a bit annoyed. “We JUST need my backpack, mom,” she said. LOL! I had grabbed a photo at home just in case, but she did let me get a couple more when we got there. I have to admit that I laughed at her reaction as we walked into the school and saw the halls filled with kids. I think she was a bit intimidated by all of the kids she saw there. But as soon as we got to the room, she was off, and didn’t really care if I stayed or left.
And the best part of it all…when I got there to pick her up, she said she wasn’t ready; she wanted to play some more. I reminded her that she had to go to daycare, and immediately her face lit up. “And see Cohen?!” It made me smile to hear her say that. I guess she missed the little stinker.
I’ve had an influx of senior girls this month! I love shooting seniors because of all the possibilities with locations, and also because we can take advantage of all the amazing light right before the sun goes down. Little ones are usually in bed by then! We scoured downtown Bismarck for locations, and Kelsey’s sister even came out for a little fun, too!
So, I’m a part of an awesome community of sweet, strong, and supportive women. And today, they were kind enough to feature me in their member spotlight on their blog. Go check it out!

I think I have lost track of the number of times I’ve photographed these girls, but every time I do, I think we have more fun than the time before! I remember the first time clearly. Aubrey was super shy, and as any three year old would, she wanted to play at the park much more than she wanted to get her photo taken. Karli was just a tiny one year old! Crazy how things can change so quickly. This time around, there was no shyness going on at all! I jumped in their car, and right away Aubrey showed me her loose tooth (which I heard she’s since lost…YAY!), and we started chatting about the start of preschool. And it definitely makes me happy to hear a mom tell me about bedtime success when she threatened to have the session cancelled if they didn’t get to sleep! LOL. Whatever works, and it is so great to hear that they were so looking forward to getting their photo taken!
Thanks for all the fun, girls, and I can’t wait for your family session this fall!
