Merry Christmas 2012

Hello and I am now booking for 2013, so be sure to give me a call or email to book your date!

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas! Here are just a few pictures from Christmas morning.

I am pretty sure Grant will be a 49er fan just like his aunt. :) He loved his shirt! Hehe.

All 3 of my "Gs." Gavin, Grace, and Grant!

My sisters-in-law and me! We joke that we are the '3 Beauties' that Oliver Tractors used to advertise with mid-1900s since they were a blonde, brunette, and redhead... just like us!

My Summer

I've had a few people ask me why I haven't updated the blog in a while. Well, it takes me about 10 minutes to make a blog post and when I think of all of the sessions I do and all of the posts, I felt like that was a lot of time that I could put into editing and catching up on orders. I did my best to keep Facebook updated with pictures from recent sessions, but sometimes that was even hard! So sadly, the blog was neglected over the summer, but I felt it was worth it in order to keep turn around times as fast as possible.

School started today and I will be back in the swing of things soon. I am currently booked for September and October, but I do have a waiting list in case of cancellations. Feel free to contact me if you are in need of a session this fall! Email is the best way to reach me since I also have school.

Since it has been a while since I have updated the blog, here is a post full of pictures from just a few sessions that kept me busy over the summer!

Oliver's Announcement

Alrighty folks, if you are a fan on Facebook, you saw that Oliver had a very special announcement to tell you guys. (If you are not a fan, you need to go over and 'Like' the page!)

Okay, well... here goes. Oliver would like to share the BIG news. The news is that I am now teaching in Rosholt! I definitely was not expecting to move back, but after applying all over the area this opportunity sprung up. I applied and was hired! That means no more half Fargo(or somewhere else)/half Rosholt living. I was not sure where I would end up teaching, which also meant I was unsure where the studio would end up. I am extremely happy that it will stay put right where it is!

Even though the studio is staying, there are some changes that will happen. Since I will be teaching full time as well as advising activities and running the studio, I decided it was time to narrow down my photography. In the past years, I have missed out on family time and honestly... I feel like I am too busy and missing out on important parts of life. While I do love every moment of it, I feel this is what I need to do for myself and for the ones I love especially since I am back home. I will now only be offering maternity and newborn, family and children, and Senior photography. Which means I will no longer be offering extended family and wedding services. If you have already booked a wedding or extended family session, don’t worry! I will be photographing anything currently contracted and booked. I know that this decision will disappoint some, but I hope that you understand.

Looking for a home for me and my owner. (Don't worry she is house trained.)

 Oliver and I are still looking for a place to rent in town. Just graduating from college means I have student loans, which also means I don't have the finances to buy anything at the moment. I am not entirely worried as I know something will pop up that is just right for us. If you see Oliver sitting on the street later this Fall with this sign, then maybe I will be worried. ;) Since he turned 5 years old the end of June, I thought it was a good time for some silly photos. (And because blog posts are boring without pictures.)

I want to thank you all for your support! I feel like I am right where I am suppose to be and I am excited for what lies ahead!
