Maternity {Baby Girl}

I met this couple at the Arboretum this past weekend on a beautiful spring evening.  They are expecting their first child - a little girl - and you can tell how excited they are anticipating her arrival.  This is my second maternity shoot so I am still learning, but I think we got some great images capturing this time in their lives. I cannot wait until the newborn pictures in July!!

















So the picture above actually has her name written on the chalkboard, but they aren't sharing with everyone yet, so I Photoshop-ed it out and added my own, haha. 

Drew {9 Months}

Drew met me at the Arboretum on a beautiful evening for a MINI Session to capture 9 month photos.  He is a serious baby, but we managed to get some smiles out of the little guy.  It was so great meeting you and your parents, Drew! Here are a few of my favorites from the session:

Hailey {Almost 2}, James {4} and Family

This is one of my favorite families - my little niece, nephew, brother and sister-in-law!  I was very excited to do a shoot for them and it was specifically so fun to get to see Hailey's silly and sweet personality.  Being that we moved to MI when she was only a few weeks old, we have really missed out on her babyhood.  Every time we make a visit to ND, it's SO difficult to leave family again.  Miss you guys so much already!!

Raelyn {Almost One Year!} and Family

We have been friends with this family for close to forever, literally - you may remember the adorable little girl from this post last fall.   Well now she is very close to one year old already! And I happened to be in Fargo visiting just in time to take her pics for her :)  Miss you guys already!!

 






There was actually a pink balloon too, but it popped right before this shot!
