time for tea | bismarck, north dakota children’s photographer

Her “purple blankie” was given to her by her grandma when she was first born.  Who knew she’d grow so attached to it?  Kitty is from our very first trip to Barnes and Noble together.  She had just learned to walk, and she walked right up to the first shelf she saw that was at her level, grabbed the kitty, and refused to let go.  So he came home with us, and he has slept in her bed ever since.  Hunny Bunny was given to her by the Easter bunny on her first Easter.  AnotherView full post »

rory & grace | bismarck, nd child and family photographer

Finally, the last series from our girls trip!  I’m finally going to get back to my client sessions after a little break, so I needed to get these done!  When we planned this trip, I knew I wanted to take the girls out for a little session.  I had received a location recommendation from a friend, we talked the girls into wearing what we wanted them to wear (this was no easy feat, let me tell you), the girls picked out accessories at the outlet mall; there was much talk and planning leadingView full post »

the park | bismarck, nd child and family photographer

Earlier this spring, daddy built the kids “the park,” as titled by Rory.  They have had an absolute blast playing out there, and it is perfect for this little boy.  Just like a normal almost two year old boy, he adores playing outside, and cries anytime he has to come in.  All you have to do is say “slide?” and he runs as fast as he can to the backyard to play.  I have been wanting to get some photos of him out there, but of course, we have no trees, which meansView full post »

american girls | bismarck, nd child and family photographer

The main reason for our girls trip to the Mall of America was to visit the American Girl store.  Rory received her own American Girl doll for her 5th birthday, and she had been looking forward to our trip for months.  I must admit, I was pretty excited, too!  It was such an experience taking her there, and I can’t say it enough times; it is something I will never forget.  I didn’t get any time to really take any images of us shopping in the store, but while we were there, Juliet gotView full post »

mall of america adventures | bismarck, nd child photographer

So, as I mentioned in my last post, we’ve had all sorts of exciting things happening.  One of those was our big girls’ trip to the Mall of America.  We had such a wonderful time together, and I could not think of a better way to celebrate Rory turning five.  I will never forget the amazing time we had together.  {Warning: I know the quality of these photos is not that great, but I still love them anyway.  I was not about to carry my camera all over the mall.}  Some snapshots andView full post »

baby shower! | everyday art photography

Today, I downloaded over 1000 images from the past few weeks.  We have had a lot going on!  And my reason for not blogging  isn’t that I wasn’t taking photos, just that we’ve gone from one thing to the next so quickly that I haven’t even had time to stop and breathe.  We had Rory’s birthday, Rory’s preschool graduation, a quick trip back home to Montana for Memorial Day weekend, a week of vacation Bible school, a girl’s trip to the Mall of America, andView full post »

happy 5th birthday, rory! | bismarck, nd family photographer

My sweet girl turned five today!  Pretty crazy!  We celebrated most of the day yesterday, and once again, she didn’t have any fun at all.  Can’t you tell?  We started out with a little party with a few of her friends.  They were so silly together!  Entertainment included making bracelets, coloring mermaids, eating cupcakes and fruity floats (orange and raspberry sherbert plus sprite), and a punching balloon fight!  Then, later that night, we had our family over to celebrate someView full post »

happy easter! | bismarck, nd family photographer

Well, it is becoming a tradition for me to blog photos from our egg dying every year.  I always love looking back on photos of the kids doing something annually.  It is just fun to see how much has changed in only a year.  This was Cohen’s first year dying eggs, so to say the process has changed this year is an understatment!  They both took it very seriously, and were sad when all the eggs were colored. So to begin, here are the photos from 2009, 2010, and 2011… I hopeView full post »

the butterfly ball | bismarck, nd child photographer

Rory attended the Butterfly Ball last weekend, which is a daddy/daughter dance sponsored by the Suzuki School of Music.  There was a lot of talk and excitement leading up to the day.  Anyone who reads this blog knows what a princess obsessed, girly-girl Rory is.  I let her pick out her own dress and shoes at Target, and when Saturday came, she wanted to put them on first thing in the morning!  It turns out, the Butterfly Ball did not disappoint.  She had a blast with her daddy and was soView full post »
