jacob & ellie | north dakota children’s photographer

So, not last Saturday, but the one before (again…always a week behind), I went to Fargo to meet up with Erin.  Remember?  Last winter, she came to Bismarck for a mentoring session?  Well, she now has a blog and website, and I encourage you to check her out because she is doing awesome!  We are planning to do a session swap this fall, too, and I cannot wait.  It is so much fun spending time talking photography with a friend, so I’m glad we could make it happen. 

And, of course, we needed some willing models, and that is where these two came in!  Seriously, the sweetest little kids.  Jacob is super smart and was so cooperative.  And Ellie…what a doll.  I just love those big blue eyes of hers!  And their parents were pretty awesome, as well.  When I found out they were both engineers, I knew we’d get along.  Thank you guys for coming out in the heat and playing with us!

Tomorrow night, I have a session with two of my favorite girls, and then we’re headed off for vacation this week, so say a prayer that the car ride isn’t torture!

life changes

Just a few snapshots of what’s going on in the life of this one year old!

A new big boy carseat.  I’d like to report that he loves it, but alas, not much has changed.  He still hates being strapped in 99% of the time.  I’m not sure what I did to deserve the 20 minutes of quiet time when he passed out back there the first time he rode in it.  And I’m not convinced it will ever happen again.

And today, his first hair cut!  It was long over due, but I refused to get it done until after he turned one.  He just looks way too grown up for this mama’s heart.  After looking at these, I will go right back to the one of him sleeping in the carseat.  Because when he’s sleeping, he still looks just like he did as a newborn.  I hope it stays that way forever.

Not sure about this…

Before & After

the farm

Last weekend (always at least a week behind on my blogging), we spent most of Sunday out at grandma and grandpa’s house.  They’re preparing to sell the farm, so I thought it would be great to get some photos of Rory out there.  Of course, there are much more exciting things to do at the farm besides getting your picture taken by your mother.  She was busy watering the flowers, but she gave me a few minutes without complaint.
