Brotherly Love: a sibling photo shoot

A few weeks back, despite the windy cool weather, I managed to capture some sweet pictures of two brothers!  The baby was a trooper and the big brother was a mover with the most gorgeous blue eyes!! Mom and Grandma were so helpful and kind during this shoot and I am so happy with the results!

Red Hair, Blue Eyes & Perfect Lighting!

I had the utmost pleasure of photographing a lovely family recently. I know them through Boy Scouts and school and the boys are memorable for their amazing ginger locks and big blue eyes.  Jennifer, the matriarch of this boy-heavy family wanted images while their trees were in bloom, and the colors didn't disappoint.

From my photographer standpoint, lighting can be my best friend or my worst enemy.  In their yard, the lighting and I were in love!!! The trees combined with the golden late day sun created a canvas that held no boundaries. I am so excited to share some of these!

This family was a treat to work with. The boys personalities really came through and I am honored to have captured their moments!

Cousins! A Spring Photo Shoot

My friend Heather asked me to take photos of her kids and niece recently.  We were granted a gorgeous, rare in these parts, sunny spring day (We don't really "do" spring in NoDak) and though it was a bit sloppy out, the kids and I had a blast taking photos!  I even got a little muddy and wet laying down in the muck to "get the shot" which got some giggles.  

Heather and I are members of a crummy club and she really wanted to bring the memory of her Mom into these photos.  I suggested shoes or an article of clothing.  She found the perfect piece in a green hooded sweater.  The color played beautifully with the girls eyes and the surrounding landscape.  Hung on the back of the chair, it was a simple reminder to her son that she is always with him.

Thank you Heather for asking me to do this!  You have no idea the sense of peace and purpose it brings to me!
