Conor - Senior 2010

We lucked out on a great day for any outdoor session, 25 degrees and sunny. It was a privilege to take you senior pictures, thanks for driving down from Brookings. I hope you like the finished products, the ones above are just the tip of the iceberg. We'll meet soon to go over all the pictures. Enjoy your last months as a senior, life if just beginning! God Bless- Kristi

Sully- 6 Months

Sully, your mom has great taste in clothes and awesome ideas in props! Beth, you have the eye to being a photographer yourself. Of course, I love taking pictures of return clients and seeing how much the children have changed since our last session. Even tough I get the privilege of seeing Sully at church, there is never enough time to hold him and snuggle him. We are praying for this little guy and his family as they are about to come head on with the first of many surgeries for little Sully. His mother put together an awesome cookbook as a benefit for Sully and they are selling them for $15. Here is her e-mail if you are interested and pass the word: bethannnagel@hotmail.com I know the first 700 she ordered flew out the door, so they are on there 2nd order. If you have time say some special prayers for this little guy, especially over Easter as they travel to Chicago to being the first of many surgeries. We Love you Sully! God Bless-

Love the drool!




It seems like yesterday that I was taking your newborn pictures! You are growing so fast! You did an awesome job taking all these pictures. It isn't easy when silly Kristi pulls out new props to try on you. Look at how strong you are at holding up your head. I guess you figured you'd rather hold it up than lick the sheep fur. Hope your mommy and daddy can find some of these portraits to treasure, these are just a few of my favorites. God Bless-

Josh + Marcy = Engaged!

OK, I'll try not to call you Chad anymore. Not really sure where that came from anyways. I just finished editing your engagement pictures and there are tons of great ones. You'd ever know that is was 0 degrees out with windshield at -15. You two were both troopers trudging through the snow and braving the cold. I love the shot of your mugs steaming from the cold air, very cool. I'm looking forward to photographing your wedding in July. God Bless- Kristi

Van Donge Baby

It was such a pleasure to take these new born photographs of baby Trey. He was the perfect baby during the whole session. He slept the first half, then was awake the 2nd half so we could get some pictures with his eyes open. I just love the look on big brother and big sister's faces when they are looking down at him. You can see they adore and love him to pieces. Enjoy every minute of your precious gift, as you know they grow up way to fast! God Bless- Kristi
