So this baby girl is gorgeous.
And sooooo loved by her parents.
Long anticipated.
A miracle.
Worth the bedrest, long nights in the NICU, and sleepless nights at home.
And she had gas. Lots of gas. Don’t even get me started on the sharting…![]()

Finley came back to the studio for her first birthday… it’s always a little bittersweet. I have photographed her four times during her first year, and it is so much fun for me to watch the little ones grow. I always look forward to Finley’s sessions, and this past one was no exception. Finley is just a smiley, happy girl, and her little smiles and expressions made my heart smile! Her mom brought Finley’s great-grandmother’s dress and rocking chair, which was such a neat, sentimental prop.

Charlotte was such a good baby!! Her momma and I go way back… we went to High School and College together, and she recently moved back to Sioux Falls. I had SUCH a good time reconnecting with her and meeting her new baby girl. And the hair… and the smiles… it just doesn’t get much better!!

OH. MY. WORD. There are just no words. These two were so amazing during our session!! Twins obviously take a newborn session to a completely new level, and you never really know if you will get much of them together, but these two were perfect! Miles had a bit of a dramatic streak, which is a bit unusual… usually it’s the girls that have a little more “spirit” and drama. Mom said it’s the same way at home too – it will be interesting to see if that continues as their personalities develop. Enjoy!

Lila has been coming to the studio throughout her first year, and we recently celebrated her first birthday in grand style! It is always a little bittersweet for me to see my first year plan babies turn one… I truly enjoy seeing them every couple of months and watching them as they grow. Lila has always been a tough one to get to smile, but once she warms up and mom gets a little crazy behind me we are good to go! Sessions like these make me wish I had a video camera taping the parents… what we do to make them smile and giggle!!
