Fargo North – Class of 2011 ~ personal residence, Elephant Park

Thanks for a fun session Austin!

Fargo South – Class of 2011 ~ Lindenwood Park, Concordia, Downtown Fargo

Thank you, Amanda for a really fun session!

School starts in the Fargo-Moorhead area in the next month! Summer seems to go by so quickly these days – when I was a kid they seemed to last forever. Now, as a parent, I feel like we’re in the time crunch to get so many things done and ready to go! It’s a bit overwhelming but exciting too.

School pictures are a big part of the beginning of the year, something some kids plan out days or weeks ahead of time – what to wear, how to do their hair – only to be put on a dark blue background, posed the same as every other kid in the school, and that freshly done hair combed straight and tucked behind ears. YIKES! While this is the way it’s always been, sort of a necessity of the new school year, it doesn’t have to be your child’s only picture for the year. Let me capture your child’s personality, in fun settings, with a variety of poses, and have some really neat – full sized wallet images to hand out to friends and family! Older kids think the big wallets are extra cool! And ask me about that metallic finish – it’s gorgeous!

I’m trying something different for the Back to School mini session special this year – I’m setting up two dates and two locations – you choose which suits you best!  The 20 minute sessions are quick but adequate, which is great for little ones. Online ordering makes the process quick and easy. Additional prints and products are also available.  A $160 value for $100!!

Here are the pretty details:

Sessions are from 8:30am and end at 11:30am each day. They are scheduled on the half hour.  Contact me for more details or to schedule your session for your child(ren) – These are going to be so much fun!

Today marks my 18th week of pregnancy! We are expecting precious baby #4 in the middle of December! James and I kept this little secret to ourselves for a few months before sharing with friends and family and the kids.  It was a bit tough to keep it all in sometimes but it was nice to hold onto something just for us for a little bit. Everything is going well and the little one is wiggling around just perfectly! We find out if we’re having a boy or girl in 2 weeks! We’re all really excited for that though between the 5 of us, our ‘wish’ list for gender all varies. I really can’t wait to share all about the baby and spend plenty of time snuggling and loving on an adorable little newborn! 5 months to go!

I did take a little break from sessions the past couple of months. Between exhaustion and nausea and keeping up the household no matter what, I just couldn’t do it. But I’m back into the swing of things now and am going to try to book as many sessions as I can handle all before October 21st this fall. This is a couple weeks shorter than my normal end of sessions for the year but as you can imagine, I’m going to need that time to finish sessions and sales and to get ready for a new baby and the holidays. I’ll also be taking the first few months of the year off and will be booking a limited number of sessions each month in 2011 to take care of the little one. Please plan ahead when planning for sessions!

To give a little boost to the session planning – I’m having a 4 day sale to celebrate or 4th little bundle! This is a good one – don’t miss out! Something I forgot to add – these credits can be used along side referral credits and other discounts you may have earned as well!

Detroit Lakes High School Class of 2011 ~ Old Fargo Depot

It’s so hard to believe that the last time I saw Rachel, she was in elementary school. And Snickers, he was just a young pup. We had a quick mini session of the two of them together even though the weather didn’t quite cooperate with us. I look forward to photographing Rachel some more – she’s such a great girl!

It’s my birthday and I’m sharing it with you! Come celebrate with me and check out these cool specials!
