{Parker Family}: Fargo Lifestyle Photographer

I had met Mariko and Dan last summer when I did a stylized wedding session with them in the cities. Little did I know, Mariko would contact me months later and ask if I would like to take photos of their family (this) summer. Of course, I was so happy that she thought to ask me, of all the photographers out there... Once we established a time and day, we kept in touch and she has been following the progress of our baby girls. So the weekend came for the photos. It was a beautiful June morning and the kiddos were all excited to have their picture taken--- then the adults were trying to get them to look one way or another, the monkey dance was my favorite-- there were a couple confused looks and giggles  :) but, I feel everyone enjoyed their time with me, as did I enjoy my time with them. Here are a few of my favorites of the whole gang, enjoy!

{Bethany: Maternity}: Fargo Pregnancy Photographer

This lovely momma couldn't be more deserving of pregnancy. After many long, emotional-rollercoster years of trying to conceive, they decided to adopt.... they loved their little man so much and wanted to expand their family, so they adopted another little boy. Then, unexplainably, they fell pregnant about 8 months ago!!!! Needless to say, they are ecstatic and absolutely humbled to be pregnant.  After wanting a pregnancy, for so many years, Bethany said she doesn't have those "I'm ready to go any day" feelings. I can't say I blame her one bit. Be on the lookout for some baby photos in the near future! Here are a couple of my favorites from the maternity session, enjoy!
