Gabber

I've never had a baby "talk" as much as this 3 month old! It was so cute, I love hearing baby talk. Here are a few images from his session. In the first one, that is an outfit that his daddy wore when he was that age, and they also have pictures of his 2 older brothers in it at 3 months. I think it's so neat to do stuff like that!

Three and Two

I had my work cut out for me with today's sessions. But I wouldn't expect anything else from a 3 year old girl and a 2 year old boy! They were busy! But I think both their Moms will be pleasantly surprised with the images captured. :)

Siblings

These kids from yesterday were such a blast. They had so much fun taking pictures together, you could really tell how much they all love each other!

News

You asked for it, you got it- Blessings Photography is now able to accept all major credit cards as a form of payment. This will be useful for those placing orders via email, although if you prefer to mail a check- that works too!

Exclusive offer for blog readers: Just in time for the holidays, I am introducing a new option for photo purses. These purses have genuine black leather trim and are available in 2 sizes. The cool thing about these is that the photo is printed on a panel that simply snaps onto the purse, and can be removed and changed as often as you like! And the best part of all is the price!
Only $55 for a small, $65 for large. Large purse measures 9-1/2"Hx12"Wx4"D with two 8" shoulder straps. Small purse measures 7-1/2"Hx10"Wx4"D with two 6" shoulder straps. Replacement photo panels can be purchased also, $20 for small, and $25 for large.

These make great gifts for Moms or Grandmas! I will not be advertising these elsewhere, making these available only to my blog readers. So if you know of someone whom you think would be interested, send them here!

More curls, but this time with big blue eyes

Seems my streak of one year old boys from last month has been replaced with a streak of one year old girls this month! This little cutie is so expressive and full of personality!

15 Facts about Me

Realizing that I tend to just post images, I thought I'd share a few little tidbits about myself. So here you go!

- I married my high school sweetheart- whom I started dating at the age of 14.

- I've never seen the ocean.

- I was originally a nurse.

- I skipped my senior year of high school and went to college instead (through the post-secondary enrollment option). And after a lot of summer classes, I graduated from high school and college in the same year.

- I am addicted to lip balm, lip gloss, and lipstick. Doesn't matter what it is actually, I just must have something on my lips at all times.

- I love to scrapbook, but haven't found the time to do it at all in the last year and a half or so.

- I've never had cable or satellite TV.

- My dream car is a yellow Ford Mustang.

- I have a very large Elmo collection (as in the red monster from Sesame Street). I've been collecting them since I was 13 years old, but haven't added very many lately because they are already taking up way too much space.

- My can't miss TV show is LOST. Just waiting for the new season to start!

- I have 2 different credit card numbers memorized, because I shop online that much.

- One of my favorite snacks is pickles dipped in peanut butter.

- I have one tattoo, and 5 piercings (4 ears and 1 nose).

- My hair gets pretty neglected. I tend to grow it out really long and then chop it all off- which results in a haircut only once every year or two. I never blow dry it, and it gets touched with a curling iron maybe once a year.

- I've never tasted coffee.

Big brown eyes and curls

This sweet little girl came earlier this year for her 6 month portraits, and was back today for her 1 year. She has of course grown a lot and is now walking, so needless to say she was busy!



And here's a link to a few of her 6 month portraits.

From Today

Another little 2 week old boy came to see me today. He was so sweet!




And also this little girl, who just celebrated her first birthday yesterday. Can't help but love her big smile and even bigger blue eyes!

Knitty Gritty

I finally got my display up at the Knitty Gritty Cafe today. If you are a knitter, crocheter, coffee drinker, or just like to eat or drink good stuff, then you definitely need to check this place out! I'm not a coffee or latte or cappucino drinker myself, but I love their hot chocolate. And they have great food, catered by Mosaic Foods. And oh the fabulous selection of yarn and all things knitting they have! Their address is 108 7th St S. in Moorhead.

Skol Vikings!

My husband was the lucky winner of a pair of Vikings tickets for today's home opener game. So we headed down to Minneapolis for the weekend and had a lot of fun. If you saw the game on TV, you know what a great and exciting one it was! I of course brought my camera along and took plenty of pictures. Here is just a small sample. Not sure why I can't get the pictures lined up properly, but you get the idea. Click on the pictures to see a larger version.

Fresh

This sweet little baby boy came to see me today at the young age of 2 weeks. I love when I can get the new babies in within their first few weeks. The fresher the better! : )

Fun Family

I had a fun family session yesterday. These girls reminded me of my own- or what they will be like in a couple of years anyway!

Beautiful Blue Eyes

I love how big blue eyes photograph. They reflect light wonderfully and look amazing. Both of the kids from my sessions yesterday had those great blue eyes!

A Pair of Penguins

The girls had the opportunity to model these cute custom made outfits for a designer on ebay. We all had a lot of fun doing it. They enjoyed playing in the "snow"!

A girl and a boy

This little girl will celebrate her first birthday next week. She was such a little sweetie at her portrait session this morning!




And this 15 month old boy from this afternoon was a lot of fun. He was so smiley!

Sweet Baby

This 9 month old from today was a busy girl. But so sweet with her big smile and little tongue that she loved to stick out!
