The Rogers Family

A few weeks back I got to take not only beautiful Devin's senior photos, but I also had the priviledge of getting a few shots of her whole family. The Rogers used to live close by, but now moved to North Carolina. With their son attending college in Iowa, it's not often that they all get together, so I was honored to capture a few family shots of my friends. You are all beautiful, inside and out. And so very photogenic! Enjoy your sneak peek!

North Carolina Senior - Devin R.

Welcome beautiful Devin R. to the blog. Devin is the daughter of a good friend of mine, a friend I used to sing with all the time in church until they moved away. I was so happy when they asked me to take Devin's senior photos when they came back to visit this summer. Devin is beautiful, inside and out, and has such great style. I adored all of her outfit and jewelry choices. And, she's just a joy to be around. Oh, and her hair. It's naturally curly, and oh so lovely! Devin, you are blessed girl!

I had so much fun with you, Devin & Shawna! Devin, you were a natural in front of the camera. I'm still thinking modeling could be in your future. There were so many gorgeous shots, it was hard to choose just a few. Enjoy your preview!

CPU Senior - Abbie M.

We're having senior fever here at Sanders Photography & Design Blog. Here's the first of several senior photo previews in the weeks to come.

Abbie is a senior at CPU and was such a joy to photograph. So sweet and kind, just like her mom, Lisa. And they didn't even make fun of me when I screamed as a snake made it's appearance by the railroad tracks during our session. Talk about embarrassing!

Enjoy your sneak peek! Many more images to come!

Reid & Hugh

I recently got to meet up with some returning clients. You may remember Reid's newborn shoot {click here to see Reid just a few weeks old.} Well Reid has grown a lot since February! He's a regular little man now, and oh so cute! Love his little rolls in all the right places! And I think he kinda likes me to, if his winking at me was any indication. Ha!



And then there's big brother Hugh, such a little charmer. And what a great personality!



I had so much fun with you all Jeff & Maggie! Thanks for having me take some updated pictures of your precious boys. I look forward to watching them grow and change through many more photo shoots! Here is a quick preview, with many more to come!





I love this one. Hugh was being so sweet to his little brother...

Trantham-Morken Family

I recently had the pleasure of taking family photos for some friends of ours. Some live in Minnesota, and some all the way in Norway. And let me clarify, since we do have a nearby town in Iowa that is also called Norway, I do mean Norway the country. Ha! It's not often they all get together, so it was so neat to get their photos as a big group.

The whole family is beautiful, and I seriously think that these three little boys are some of the cutest boys you'll find! Adorable!

Here's a preview from our session. It was actually hard to choose which photos to preview, because I just loved them all. This family is just plain cute!



I love this one of Dad looking at his family...


What beautiful grandparents...


Blake & Lisa, so cute...


The boys. I would say they are so very all-American, but I guess I have to say all-Norwegian? Hmmm....


Rowan. Just look at those eyes! Gorgeous...


Elias, such a cutie...


And Kristian. I think he was pretending to be a frog here...


Little Rowan was fascinated by this butterfly...


Dogpile...




One of my favorites, just boys being boys...


Thanks so much for asking me to take your family photos! I had such a great time with you all!

Noah - 3 months

It seems like just yesterday that I took this sweet little guy's newborn pictures. Can't believe he is already 3 months old! He definitely looks much older with all that hair, and the fact that he weighs just a tad bit less than my almost one-year-old. I think you may just have a future linebacker on your hands Jeremy & Kaely!

Thanks for letting me take Noah's pictures once again. I feel blessed to take photos of such a handsome little man!

Commercial Shoot: MJK Knits of New York

Here are a few shots from a commercial shoot for MJK Knits of New York.

MJK Knits sent us a sample sweater from their fall line for Chloe to model. This company makes custom sweaters, scarfs, hats, etc., featuring your child's name or initials. Available in so many colors and so very classic & cute!
