Newborn Photography- Little Layla04.05.12

Little Layla was just 6 days old for her newborn pictures, just adorable!  I was so happy that she let me try out some of my new props.  I love buying newborn props and came across the bumble bee tutu last week and saw some inspiration.  I love the pictures of her smiling while laying on her hands in the tin bucket, sometimes I can catch these moments and when I do I’m truly ecstatic as are the parents.  If you know if anyone expecting, please give them my name.  I do have tons of props here (and buying more all the time) so parents don’t need to bring anything, unless they want to.  Blessings- Kristi Shanks  Sioux Falls Newborn Photographer

Senior Pictures- Gregory03.27.12

Gregory had a fanstatic senior session last week in my studio.  We did a shortened version of a regular senior session, so only a hour, but we did a lot of different shots and backgrounds in that small amount of time.  I am now booking 2012-2013 seniors sessions for summer, so call me today at 605-941-2554 to get your senior scheduled.  Blessings- Kristi Shanks  Sioux Falls Senior Photographer

Birthday Party Photographer – Charlie’s 1st Birthday03.22.12

Little Charlie had quite the first birthday party and we got it all documented with over 300 pictures that they got to keep.  My assistant, Stephen, helped me photograph Charlie’s first birthday party which was held at Cherry Creek Restaurant in the banquet hall.  Elmo was the inspired theme and everywhere you looked there were Elmo colors (Red & Blue).  Jessica (Mom) did a fantastic job in decorating and planning for this special day.  The kids got to enjoy a jumping pit with slide, a piggy race, a candy bar, a slideshow, and lots of other games, there wasn’t a dull moment.  We had a wonderful time documenting all the special moments of the afternoon, and Jessica & Travis (mom & dad) got to relax and enjoy the party and company, not having to worry about taking pictures to capture it all.  If you have a upcoming birthday party, reunion, and special event that you would like photographed please give me a call.  Happy 1st Birthday Charlie!  Kristi Shanks   Sioux Falls Children’s Photographer

Baby Photographer- Riley 6months03.15.12

I was super excited when my new backdrops arrived before Riley’s session.  I love the color yellow and really wanted to use my new yellow backdrop I just received in the mail so I texted Riley’s mom to see what outfits she is going to bring for Riley to wear and I couldn’t believe my good luck that one of them was yellow!  Riley just turned 6 months and was sitting up amazingly so we didn’t have to use any baskets of props for support so just could focus on little Riley and her cuteness.  The yellow outfit Riley is wearing her mom ordered off of Esty.com, which is a site were all items are handmade.  This is where I order tons of my hats and other baby props from.  Riley drove all the way from Brooking for her pictures and it was totally worth the trip as she did wonderful.  Hope you love them!  Blessings- Kristi Shanks  Sioux Falls Baby Photographer

1st Year Pictures- Brady03.15.12

Wow, 1 year old!  It seems like yesterday that I was at the hospital taking Brady’s mom’s maternity pictures (she was on bed rest there).  We had a great 1st birthday session.  We focused mainly on the cake as Brady was super excited to dig into it.   I just love his facial expressions as he’s digging in the cake and shoveling it into his mouth.  I have to say that he was the messiest 1st birthday boy I’ve ever had in the studio.  Thank goodness there is a bath tub here!  Hope he didn’t have to much of a sugar high from eating all that frosting!  Blessings- Kristi Shanks  Sioux Falls Baby Photographer

Newborn Photography – Little Emerson03.15.12

Little Emerson rocked her newborn session.  Considering that they were coming from Spirit Lake, IA, is wasn’t sure if Emerson would be sleepy for her session since she would probably sleep on the 1. 5 hour ride into Sioux Falls.  She must have been extremely tired as she slept for the entire newborn part of the session! (1.5 hours).  I have never had a newborn sleep so soundly.  We were able to do lots of different sets and props with her as a result.  She even let us prop her up on her elbows! (no those are not photoshopped together images, it is actually her doing that all by herself!).  Her big brother Braxton was very good watching a movie with his grandma and aunt until it was his turn.  He was so proud of his new sister, hold her and talking to her.  I love the picture of them looking at eachother.  St. Pactrick’s Day is fast approaching so we decided it would be fun to do a St. Patrick’s theme for a picture as well as an Easter set.  Normally, I can only do 3-4 different sets with a newborn, but little Emerson let us to as many as we wanted.  I truly love photographing newborns, it is a gift for me to be able to document their beginning.  Newborn sessions are very affordable, so pass the word!  Blessings- Kristi Shanks  Sioux Falls Newborn Photographer

Children’s Photographer- Sioux Falls, SD “The Dunn Boys”03.07.12

When little Jackson and Jacob walked in I was super excited to see their dad close behind carrying a hockey goal and sticks. I love it when clients bring in personal props to use in the pictures as it gives the young kids some sense of familiarity when they are in the studio. The little guy, Jacob, was slightly hesitant about getting his pictures taken (though I have photographed him several times before, we haven’t been inside the studio for a long time!) but having something familiar drew him into the studio. Big brother Jackson was a pro for pictures. He know exactly what to do. I love his facial expression in the hockey pictures, he was all business! Watch out mom and dad I think you have a aspiring hockey player(s) here! Photographing children is such a joy, I absolutely love capturing them in photographs which are treasures forever. Blessing- Kristi Shanks- Sioux Falls Children’s Photographer
