Southeastern South Dakota Newborn Photographer; Caleb

Miss Jenna is promoted to big sister! Caleb is going to be well taken care of with this little Momma's helper!

Caleb was what you call a "full load" for this truck!

I just love all the squishy baby goodness, perfect for snuggling all day long.....it was very hard to given him back at the end of the session.

Southeastern South Dakota Family Photographer; Jim and Iris started all of this!

This was an amazing family to work with! They all got up and drove to Lewis and Clark Lake from various distances for an 8:00 family session so that we could catch the best light of the day. And everyone was happy! I have to admit that I was a little nervous about this shoot just because of the large group and number of small children, but it turned out to be one of my favorite sessions of 2015. You are an amazing family....you have a beautiful family Jim and Iris, give yourselves a pat on the back! Here are a few images from the morning.

Jim and Iris have 5 beautiful daughters!

Southeastern South Dakota Newborn Photographer; Elly Ray's Newborn Session!

Chelsa is a Mommy! And wow, I am feeling old because I remember when Chelsa was this size! My friend, Diane (Chelsa's Mom) had our babies (we both had 2 girls) within a few months of each other and now history has repeated itself and our daughters (Christe, Chelsa, Ashley, and Emily) are having babies within a few months of each other.

So what a privilege it was to take newborn photos for Chelsa and Andy of their precious little girl; Ella Ray! She has tons of black hair, just like her Aunt Christe did when she was born :)

Ella makes a super cute little reindeer. And wow, what a super content baby! The only problem with her session was that she made my job look a bit too easy.

You can see how much love there is here, Andy chrishes his girls.

Ken, Michelle, Ben, and Ava

Early summer, what a wonderful time for some family photos! And these guys made my job so easy! The photos were taken at Michelle and Ken's home and surrounding neighborhood, which made it easy for everyone to relax and have some fun, including me, the photographer!

Ava is 4!

What a fun afternoon we had on Ava's grandparents farm taking some photos to mark her 4th birthday on June 1st!

Ava was the perfect hostess for this teddy bear picnic.

Grandpa even got his Corvette out for his little princess and was rewarded with a big kiss!

This was a spontaneous 4 generation photo - when the opportunity is there you must take advantage of it! Ava is a lucky girl to be loved so much by these wonderful women.

Ava and her great grandmother,so glad we talked Mary Ann into this!

Millie

Meet Millie Claire! What a little angel and as cute as a bug! I will have to remember to introduce her to my newest grandson in about 16 years!

Millie loves to smile, what a sweet heart!

Kate's Newborn Session!

Kate was such a sweet little angel for her session....I had a hard time giving her back to Mom and Dad but luckily I will get to see her every three months of her first year. Can't wait to photograph all of Kate's first year milestones!

Isiah welcomed by big sister Flynn!
