Derek + Melissa = ENGAGED!

I had a great time getting to know you and taking these engagement pictures of you. Your wedding is going to be a true downtown Sioux Falls experience! I can't wait to photograph it! Hope you enjoy these pictures! Kristi

Newborn- Max

This precious little guy decided he only needed to sleep for 5 mintues during his newborn photoshoot. Even with awake newborns, we can still get some awesome pictures. Some of these were shot as he was blinking, so it looks like he's asleep. The only pictures he is truly asleep for are the ones in the blue striped hat. I had a great time with little Max. I can't wait to see him again soon! God Bless- Kristi

Newborn- Danika

I had a great time taking these precious pictures of little Danika. She was such a sweet baby and I really love her name. I hope you enjoyed your first experience with Kristi Shanks Photography, I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of taking her pictures. God Bless-

Wonder Capes Anyone?

This is little Sully in again for his 9 month pictures. My has he grown since his newborn pictures! He has such a wonderful personality, you can't help but want to snuggle him and love him. Sully recently had extensive surgery in Chicago, unfortunately the first of many in his little life. To read more about Sully you cnan visit his blog at: www.newsfromthenagels.com There is a company based here in Sioux Falls that makes these wonderful Wonder Capes and are custom to each child. The best part of all is that they donate one for every so many sold to a child in the hospital or with a life threatening illness. Sully was fortunate enough to receive one of these beautiful capes. If you would like to purchase or donate a cape please go to: www.wondercapes.com
Thanks! God Bless- Kristi
