• I think Emersyn has officially become my most photographed baby! She is always SO much fun to take photos of with her adoring smiles, her silly giggle, and her beautiful blue eyes. She definitely loves the camera and the camera LOVES her! Her parents, Shelby and Tyler always put up with my crazy ideas for props and wanting to get her into as many outfits as we can (just because she looks SO cute in everything)! I think you are all going to love this session, her expressions, and the amazing studio we shot at in downtown Fargo. As always, enjoy the photos and let me know what you think!

    The cake smash wasn’t her favorite – but she still enjoyed the (impossible to get out) purple frosting!

  • Well, I’ve had the pleasure of photographing little Miss Lita since she was just a few weeks old! This beauty always has some cute poses and expressions up her sleeves and never ceases to amaze me with new skills she has learned since I last saw her. Clearly, her adorable clothes and smile create such a joy for others to see! I just love hanging out with her and her mama – my good friend, Casey! You’ll definitely be seeing more of Lita on the blog, but for now, enjoy these images of the always exciting, 15 months old, Lita!

    ImageImageImageSee what I mean?? She totally knows how to ham it up!

      ImageImageImageImageImageIMG_8630aImageImageImageDefinitely, my favorite!!
    ImageImageImageImage From the many one-year old girls I’ve been photographing lately, ONE is the magical age when the hairclips, bows, and headbands do NOT stay in the hair….alas, she makes it look cute 🙂 ImageImage Had to end the session with a few images of Lita and her mom!

    Enjoy the weekend, friends! Surround yourself with those you love,

  • I LOVE taking photographs of the Cook Family! They always come SO prepared, with so many outfit choices, and they all ALWAYS coordinate to a T. Their daughter, Hava recently turned one, so of course, documentation of this big part of her life was in order! Her adorable laugh, the expression in her eyebrows, and the way she can already run around a room amazed me! Her big brother Harper was there to help her laugh and teach her a thing or two about eating a cake.

    Enjoy this session and get ready for a SWEET treat at the end! Image

    See what I mean about coordinating?! These outfits just remind me of spring with the subtle pops of color!

    ImageFor an almost 4-year-old busy guy, Harper was such a good sport during the session!

    ImageImageImageImageJust look at her smile – I love those expressions!

    Harper was prepping Hava for the infamous, Cake Smash!ImageImageImageSo, if you’ve never heard of a Cake Smash – you’re in for a treat! It’s exactly what it means – put your baby in front of a cake with minimal clothing and let them go to town! Some aren’t too sure about the flavor at first, some don’t like getting messy, some cry, but Miss Hava was a PRO!

    We had to let Harper get in there and show Hava how to get at it!Image

    Thanks for stopping by! Many more blog posts to come this week – stay tuned!! Ashley
