Ryder and Max

I was trying to post this yesterday, but my blog was down! I keep thinking my blog was somehow playing an April Fools joke on me.

...

We had a wonderful time meeting the McDonald family last weekend. It was a fun, laid back session at the family's home. Ryder and his little brother Max are absolutely adorable. Ryder has this amazing head of hair and Max has that all-American-boy look.

Max just turned one so we had some fun with balloons and cake at the end of the session. Kids and cake -- it's always a cute combination!

Here's Ryder, right after he finished jumping on mom + dad's bed.

Max ::

How lovely is this knit hat? (And how cute are those chubby cheeks?)

Ryder and dad ::

Kisses for dad!

Yum. Waxy candles.

Kristin and Jonathan: Parents-to-be!

Over the weekend we met with Kristin and Jonathan for a maternity session. Kristin is due April 18 ... and she look amazing! She's totally rocking that glowy, pregnant look right now :)

It was feeling very spring-like outside, so we tried to make the most of it by heading all over town for the photo's sake. Kristin and Jonathan were very patient with us and even laughed at all of our jokes, so we really liked them a lot.

Here are my favorites from their session! Enjoy :)

Laughing at our jokes!

Madison and Hallee: Sister session

Happy Monday! It's a lovely spring day here in Grand Forks ... and I'm at the office with a cold. My second cold in the last three weeks! Cough. Cough cough cough cough. Blow nose. Cough.

But, on a brighter side, here are my favorite photos from a sister session we had a couple weeks ago. We laughed so much with Madison and Hallee (and their mom Shannon!). I just adored the girls' outfits (how great are orange and pink together?) and their personalities.

Hallee in the orange, Madison in the pink ::

Totally rocking it.

Serious faces. (OK, Madison was good at the serious face but Hallee couldn't hold it for more than one second. She's a smiley girl at heart!)

A hop, skip and a jump ::

There rain boots were adorable, too.

I just adore baby George. He's six months old and full of personality! Here are a couple of his adorable expressions from our session yesterday.

So very happy ::

So very confused ::
