A visit from the girls!

Sara, Sadia, and Selia visited on December 27 and 28 for Christmas and to celebrate Sadia’s birthday.

A borrowed lens.

I had recently posted on Facebook that I wanted a certain lens, and Chris’s friend Tyler offered to borrow me a similar (but better) lens to see if I liked it. Tyler and Amy were nice enough to bring it over even! These are a few from when we were playing around with them.

Back in the studio…Take Two!

We made it at a decent hour the next day (also right during a Vikings game!) and Connor was in a much better mood. We decided to begin immediately with the family portraits.

First up, daddy and Connor, while momma figures out her lights.

Already not looking promising!

That's better!

Back in the studio…Take One!

We needed to get into the studio for Connor’s 1 year pictures, along with Halloween pictures, and Holiday pictures. We went on a Saturday but went too late in the afternoon. By the time we really go into photographing, it wasn’t going so well.

We started with Connor in his custom longies from Ram’s Ma’am Custom [...]
