FAMILY SUMMER FUN.....

We have had tons of fun this summer....participating in many beautiful weddings, camping, traveling to New York State, practicing photography, etc. Here are few of our special moments from the past few months....

My cousin's daughter....She was a flower girl this summer.



My Grandma Lottie with all of her grandchildren...(3 great grandkids already! WOW!)

Practicing photos in downtown Fargo....





These two were ringbearers in 2 weddings this summer...They are getting to be professionals. :) I think this is the 4th wedding for Hayden now.

Riding the Maid of the Mist at Niagara Falls, NY.

Eating Smores for the first time...






Special Story...

Not that everyone of my clients doesn't have a special story, but this is one that really touches my heart. One of my classmates/friends from college & her husband were blessed with adopting this beautiful little girl this past winter.

I don't really know all the details of adoptions, but it is my understanding that after a certain time period, the adoption is final/final. Well, the "C" family had gotten the word that the adoption was final & so they brought baby "M" up to North Dakota to meet all of her friends & family.
They had a wonderful open house for everyone & then after the party, the "C" family asked me to take some family photos for them.

Here she is....The newest member of the "C" family!!!





Ok...there is a funny little inside story with this next photo. As all parents know, we will do anything to get our children to laugh/smile. Well, I am in the middle of taking photos & David, the dad, is behind me saying that if he howls, baby "M" starts to giggle. I told David, I would like hear this howl....so he proceeded to show me. :)


Then when I was going thru the photos, I got to this one & just started giggling...I think baby "M" is learning from her father. :)




Congrats "C" Family!!!! Thanks for the honor of taking your photos!
