Leah from Envision Wedding Studio, Angelique from Platinum Imagination and I got to partner for a something other than a wedding. Envision designed the decor and paper materials for the party, Angelique did Miss Shelby’s hair and make up and I got to collaborate and photograph. Shelby was the cutest little thing. It was so...
I love this family! They are loving, giving, welcoming, gracious, big, fun and keep coming to see me or bringing me to see them. Just last month I witnessed and recorded the birth of T. He’s the littlest one and this was his newborn session. Of course what is a baby with out his family...
Another little cutie. The last time she came in she slept through the whole session no matter what we did with her.
Maria and Becca needed some updated images. So we took a few minutes in the backyard one evening. Pretty girls.

It is taking me forever to catch up on the blog these days. The F family came in last year and were so cute. I loved photographing their wedding and the family was the same. Look at the cute converse with the dress and hello Mr. with the cute sweater. Perfectly coordinated too!
Family photos at your home or on-location instead of in a studio, that is what I like to do.
Happy babies make me happy. Baby J here just hanging out with mom and dad. He’s a lucky boy to have these two as parents.
I was excited to photograph Baby J’s images. For two main reasons; I love his house that is full of antiques and amazing windows and thick wood trim and number two I was hoping to get Lady into the images. Lady is their great dane and the mommy of our great dane.
I got to watch little L enter the world and then I got to watch her stay awake for her entire newborn session. Welcome little baby L! Big brother and big sister couldn’t get enough of her. Grandma and Grandpa came to greet her also. Pretending to be sleeping. L would not sleep for her...
One great thing about my job is when I get to see my clients over and over again. I look forward to every session I have with this family. The wedding was fabulous and it has been a pleasure to see the little ones come into the family. I’m looking forward to documenting the growth...
The L Family came all the way from Oregon for their session. Ok not really they came to visit us. It was so great to have my sister and her family with us for a few days. I wish they didn’t live so far away. Love and miss you sis, you have a wonderful family....
Everyone always asks me what they should wear for their session. I try my best to explain that they should coordinate and not match. Pick colors in the same tonality and accessorize. Carrie needs me to tell her nothing as she prepares her family. I know that they will be dressed well and it will...
It was great to see the S family again. They used to live in Brookings and I’ve had the pleasure of photographing them a few times, but then they moved to Mitchell. It was great to meet them in Sioux Falls last weekend for an updated family session. I can’t believe how big and cute...
I think this was about session 18 for this family. These are my godchildren Tate and Cora and they are so fun. They only live 45 minutes away but with all our busy lives we don’t see each other nearly as much as we should. But they all came up for the day for a...
I wanted to cry editing these pictures thinking that Dad would be leaving in a few short weeks. He’s in the National Guard and currently in Afghanistan. These little cutiest and mom are sure going to miss him. Here is the H family. Be safe over there JD. South Dakota Photographer
Such a cute who always always makes me hone my skills. I love to photograph her as I been able to see her grow since her first session. Now she has a sibling on the way. Here is Miss R. CA South Dakota Photographer
There is this age when photographing children when they think they can get the better of you. Parents bribe, threaten and sometimes seem like they are about ready to loose it. I know I’ve been there with Ayden. Well Miss G here knew what mom wanted and she wasn’t having anything of it. Until we...
