This year, with all the chaos going on in the world around us, something changed in me. For some reason, a frantic feeling crept up on me as I watched my kids growing older. Time is fleeting, and I realized that I was desperately going to miss all the tender moments with my kids. Sooner than I would like to admit, the day will come when they no longer want me to hold their hand or kiss them goodnight. This realization hit me like a ton of bricks, so lately, I have picked random days to throw on a dress and call my mom to come get pictures of us. I quit worrying about losing some weight and waiting for the perfect time or outfit, and I savored the moments and the opportunity to turn them into everlasting memories. And you know what, these are some of my favorite pictures!

For Leif’s senior session, we went to his family farm and then to some nearby land that he used to play at as a child. We were hoping for a colorful sunset, but the sun didn’t shine favorably upon us, so we waited a few days and took some more running photos at sunset.Leif had […]

I planned on posting Parker’s senior session today, and when I opened up Facebook, I noticed that today is his birthday, too! Parker and his family lived just down the street from us until they moved to Bismarck a couple years ago. His sister, Chelsa, was best friends with my daughter. We miss them and try […]

Meet another soon to be graduate of 2020, Kiara McIvor. She plans on attending WSC in the fall. We had a great senior session at the end of last summer. She went with an urban setting and the scenic badlands looking location. I love the variety both of these give. At our session, I was […]

One of my favorite parts of a senior session is when I have mom get in the pictures. I have dads do it too, if they come and are willing. I think it’s so important to get these, because so often moms are the ones taking the pictures and so they aren’t in them. Don’t […]

I finally have a day that I can sit down and work on a blog post. I’ve been meaning to get this one done since I took the pictures last Fall!  This shoot was the first time I photographed the Hart family, and we decided on an urban setting. As an added perk of my […]

I met Miah and her family at Scenic Sports to drive to the location I wanted for her session. Going into the summer, I had talked to Teri (Miah’s mom) and we thought the lake would be perfect for Miah. I had a spot in mind at the lake with big rocks just off the […]
