Maternity- Beth








There is something special about the look in an expectant mother's eye...I'm not quite sure how to describe it..but it looks as if they are glowing with happiness. Beth had this look. Both Beth and Tony are extremely strong in their faith, they are going to be wonderful parents and God will help guide them in every new experience to come. Hope these pictures will be lasting memories for you and your new family to look back on. God Bless- Kristi

Newborn- Dawson







I just love photographing newborns. Dawson here was no exception. We had him sleeping several times during our session which amounts to some of the pictures above. His big brother Dylan loved to show me how he can hold his new baby, and by golly he did a very good job at it for being only 2 and a half. I hope you can find some pictures here to treasure, because as you already know they don't stay newborns for very long. Thanks for coming all the way from Iowa for these pictures. God Bless- Kristi

Swamstrom Kids




I have a really good friend who needed some updated pictures of her kids to hang on the wall in her new house, so we went to the Outdoor Campus one day for a play date and took a few pictures. I think these pictures do a great job in capturing the gleam in each child's eyes. Hope you enjoy them Emily! God Bless- Kristi

3m+ 1yr + 2yr + 3yr + 5yr + 9yr = Crazy Fun!









I think this was the busiest photo session I have ever done. The outdoors pics. turned out pretty good considering it was about 48 degrees and the wind was blowing at around 20-25 miles per hour. Thank goodness we found some trees so we could get them out of at least some of the wind. If you are wondering, no this isn't just one family. They are cousins and some of them flew here all the way from CA. After braving the weather we headed inside for a few more shots before they all were just "done." Hope you like... God Bless- Kristi

Lydia 2 months & Kjersten 2 yrs








What precious little girls! I had a blast taking these pictures of them. Their mom and I are trading favors. She is the one who knits all the fun baby items (pods, hammocks, cacoons, stork pouch...) for me! Thanks for all the work you do an awesome job! I hope these pictures are just what you wanted. God Bless- Kristi

Allegra - 3 months






Time really does fly, it seems like yesterday that you were just a newborn at my studio! You have such a mild/sweet personality, I just love it when your mom & grandma bring you in for pictures! Looking at these pictures, anyone can't help but smile. God Bless- Kristi

Ella- 9months







I am so glad that I could squeeze you in last week. For some odd reason I had 8 shoots in 5 days! I had a great time taking these photographs of you. I love the pictures of your head tilting and hand raised when doing "so big." I hope these pictures are just want mom envisioned. I am looking forward to taking some outdoor pictures of your older siblings and you in July. God Bless- Kristi
