Everyday Art Photography {blog} bio picture
  • Thank you so much for visiting my blogsite! Here you will find all of my recent work below, along with my portfolio, session and client info, details on the products I offer, and much more on the menu bar above. Be sure to read the sidebars, too, for what's new and my current availability.

    I'm Megan Milbradt, and I am a natural light, custom photographer in Bismarck, North Dakota. I love working with children and families because, as a mother myself, I know just how important it is to capture the moments you have together. My goal for every session is to show the unique personality of your children and the true love of your family. And I strive to make each and every session a fun, relaxed, and completely custom experience from beginning to end.

    Please, take a look around, and if you're interested in a session or have any questions, use the link above to contact me. I would love to hear from you! And please check back often to see all the beautiful children and families I have the privilege of photographing. I always look forward to sharing them with you!

a lovely weekend | bismarck children’s photographer

 Okay, it was fairly lovely except for the fact that it was actually cold out (for this winter, anyway), which means my kids were cooped up and bored to tears, Cohen had what I think was an allergic reaction to something he ate, which means a yucky tummy and diaper rash, and my computer is on the fritz, which means I have no idea if the color on these images will be totally wonky and I don’t even care anymore because it took me forever to get them edited.  SO…

The lovely part was that we did some fun Valentine activities.  Including making Rory’s first ever Valentine box for school, and also her Valentine cards for her friends.  Today Cohen and I also made some Valentine cookies and worked on his Valentine cards.  I gave up on editing the photos from today with Cohen, but I will have a fun post on Valentine’s Day of my handsome little man!

Rory came up with the idea for her bird house Valentine box.  I picked up some fun stickers for embellishing, and was quickly reminded of why I hate glitter.  But it made her happy, so that is what matters!  I thought her Valentine cards turned out super cute this year, too!

I love that now that she’s a little older, she actually likes having her photo taken.  While Erin and Juila were here and I had the backgrounds set up, I wanted to get some photos of Rory for her Valentine cards this year.  Pink and purple are her favorite colors!  She had been asking me to flat iron her hair for awhile, so I did, and wow she looks so much different to me.  And I think she looks so much older with straight hair, which is not a good thing!  Erin took some shots of her, too.  You can see them here…she’s such a goofball!  (Rory, not Erin!)

Off topic…I’m sure you’re all on Pinterest by now.  (If you aren’t, and would like an invite, just send me an email and I’ll send you one!)  I’ve now added a ‘pin it’ button, which you’ll see at the bottom of each blog post!  I want to make sure I’m doing my part to encourage your addiction.  Let’s face it, if you are on Pinterest, there’s a good chance you are addicted!  You can also follow me here.

Last weekend was so much fun!  I got to spend some time with this baby girl and her mama, my good friend Erin.  I am not going to complain that they now live much closer…hopefully we will get to see them more often now!  And I will never turn down a chance to photograph this sweet face.  Julia is such a happy baby, and I can’t believe how much she’s grown since I saw her last fall.  At one point during the session, Rory came over and Julia just burst into giggles.  Cutest thing ever!

Well, we had been waiting for snow, and I’m still not sure if that is ever going to happen in Bismarck this year, so we finally gave in and just went for this shoot.  After all the warm weather we’ve had, it was actually quite cold and windy on this day…of course.  Even without having the ideal weather conditions, I loved the images we got in the 10 or 15 minutes we were out there.  I’m so looking forward to their wedding this spring!

So, let’s get right down to it.  Totalling well over 600 votes, the competition was fierce! 

1st place winner of the 16×20 gallery wrapped canvas is Kate!  For those of you who know sweet little Kate and her family, you know that for all they’ve been through in her first year of life, they are more than deserving of this gift!  Congratulations!
