Arda .... Williston, ND Newborn Photographer

Sweet Arda was born this summer.  His mama is a friend of mine here in Williston, and it was fun to photograph the sweet boy on this hot summer day.

On February 22, 2014 we welcomed our sweet little baby, Jy, into the world.  He was born at home in a birth pool, anxiously awaited all morning long by his siblings, Aubrey and Brodie.  At 1:57pm he decided to make his appearance! What a sweet little boy, we love him with our whole hearts!

My Belly | 37 Weeks

Well, I am officially 40 Weeks today! I am so blessed by these images, and even more blessed to be friends with the photographer who took them for me.  I had an idea of what I wanted my session to be like, and Carin completely captured it and more.... Here are a few from my own Maternity Session, it was so hard to choose. I love them all! The photographer is the talented Carin, from the husband-wife team of www.gabrielandcarin.com .  Amazing.

Now just awaiting baby's arrival....

Taves Sawyer | 5 Days .... Williston, ND Newborn Photographer

It was awesome to be back in my home town for the birth of this little guy! I loved being able to catch up with my girlfriends, and wait around for Taves to make his appearance.  We were able to do his newborn session at 5 days old, the day I had to leave!

Love this special family!
