Landon

Landon is one BUSY 2 year old. There is NO such thing as sitting still and smiling for the camera. We haven't had much of a hot summer up here but the day we took his pictures it was almost 90 degrees! Landon had a lot of fun since we took his pictures at the park with a playground and a huge water fountain. What 2 year old doesn't like the park? Check out all of his blond curls-the more humid it got, the curlier his hair got-Love it!

Helt Family

Over the 4th of July weekend Park River was celebrating their 125th! The whole Helt family was home for the big weekend. What a fun family to take pics of. Trying to get 12 adults, 2 babies, 3 kids, & 2 dogs all to look at the camera and smile @ the same time was quite challenging (but fun). If the kids were looking the adults had their eyes closed-if the adults were looking, the babies were crying, etc. We did manage to get a few good group shots and then some individual family shots as well. Here are some our favorites! The whole crew (1 of many shots)

Andrea & Derrick

After taking pictures of mostly kids lately grown ups were easy! They stood still & smiled until we got a good shot-we forgot what it was like! For Andrea and Derrick's engagement shots, we started out at Island Park in Fargo and then went downton on Broadway. They were a lot of fun to take pictures of and gave us a few good ideas for some fun shots as well-here are some of our favorites...

Carter & Paige

We took pictures of Carter & Paige about this time last year. Now they are both one year older (Carter 5, Paige 2) and as fun as ever! What happy kids! We went to Lindenwood Park in Fargo where we played in the grass and then headed over to the awesome playground for some action shots-here are a few of our favorites!

Braydon & Landon

Since it was still cold outside we decided to take Braydon & Landon's pictures inside. What fun little boys! They LOVED the wide open spaces at the Plains Art Museum and were all smiles for the camera. They were super excited that they were going to go to the circus after pictures. Our session was short and sweet but we got some great shots-it was hard to narrow down our favorites! Mom and dad even got in on a couple of shots.

Dillon & Allie

Dillon was turning 3 and Allie was turning 1. I have never seen a brother and sister that look so much alike with their big beautiful blue eyes and long eyelashes and their big smiles. Again we took these in the dead of winter so we decided to go indoors at the Plains Art Museum downtown Fargo. The lighting was wonderful which allowed us to get some great shots! Now that we have 2 cameras we had 2x the amount of pictures so it was very hard to narrow down our top 5. We even got mom and dad in a few family shots. Here are our favorites...

Paige turns 4

We last took Paige's pictures last fall out at Buffalo River Pumpkin Patch when she turned 3. This year it was a little colder so we opted for an indoor shoot at the Plains Art Museum in downtown Fargo. Here are some of our favorite pics!
