We will be doing two different days and options again this year.
VIP night being offered to all of my returning clients, which will be on November 25th from 5pm-8pm
with 15 minute mini Christmas sessions with a Santa photo and all digital files included for $75.
Santa Day will be on December 3rd from 9am-12pm with a photo with Santa starting at $15 per kiddo, with each additional at $5, all digital files included.
Both options require an appointment, so book ASAP!!
This year we are donating 100% of all proceeds, from both days, to benefit Britney Brouillette
to help her and her family in her fight against breast cancer.
Britney and her husband, Eric, joyfully welcomed a new baby, Ace, into this world August 2016.
Soon after, Britney was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer, a rare and aggressive form of cancer.
Our donations will help with medical bills, daily expenses, and treatment options
that will allow both Britney and Eric to better focus on recovery
and crossing that finish line, united as one amazing family.
Please get your Santa Photos booked ASAP!!!

Being an LEO Wife and sister of a firefighter, first responders are in my heart and on my mind daily.

September 16th, 2016 from 4pm-7pm.
What do you do when you have triplets that aren't near as excited
about their cake as their big brother?
Roll with the punches and get their cute little cries!
(These kiddos actually did pretty great until we brought out the cakes)
Kids aren't always going to do exactly what we want them to do,
I can't wait to post a preview of their fun smiling pictures we got also, but I couldn't wait to post the cakes!
Aren't the cakes just the cutest things you've ever seen?
Thanks Nicole and Bart for allowing me to capture these three cuties as they grow,
that first year sure went by fast!
{August 18, 2016}
I had such a great time with Kristin and Chase for their maternity/family photo shoot.
Their two kiddos are incredibly sweet and fun and I cannot wait to meet number three in August!!
​Baby #3 is a surprise and I cannot wait to find out if Aiden and Ainsley will have a
baby brother or sister!
Pink or Blue?!?! What will it be??

I absolutely love when I meet people who inspire me!
Cindy and Brent blew me away with all of their ideas in our planning session for Owen's Newborn Shoot.
From hunting, to honoring Cindy's father, to a tribute to Brent's time served in the United States Army, they really helped me make this newborn shoot special to them and their family.
This is something I strive for with every photo shoot,
but I feel like we really captured a very special piece of their world.
Thank you Brent and Cindy for letting me capture these special memories,
I cannot wait to watch Owen grow!
Elena won a free maternity shoot from a Facebook promotion I did a couple of weeks ago.
(She won because her due date is my son's birthday, I thought that was a great reason to choose her as the winner)
It was a pleasure meeting both of them and
I hope to have the chance to meet their baby boy who is due June 8th!
Elena said to me, when we met up for our planning session, "I've never won anything before!"
Caleb's response was, "What kind of scam did you get us into now?"
No scam, just a fun photo shoot to document this precious new life and his beautiful parents!
I hope you both enjoy your maternity photos as much as I do!
Thanks for being such a fun couple to photograph!
Anna and Brandyn are friends of mine, I have known Anna since we were in elementary school.
They had a beautiful baby girl, Ari, last year who was born with a few medical conditions requiring may medical treatments, specialty appointments, therapies, and many missed days of work for mom, dad and even grandparents.
Ari was flown to Sioux Falls on April 19th, 2016, which makes for a second emergent flight that bills out at $60,000
and doesn't accept insurance.
When I was informed they had medical bills piling up just to get their daughter to and from appointments, and to receive the medical treatment she needed, I knew I had to do more!
So why not offer photo shoots and donate funds to this amazing family?
I'm asking you to fill up my schedule on May 21st and 22nd from 1-3:30pm.
I will be doing 10 minute photo sessions at Canyon Lake Park and you will receive the digital files with printing rights
from these shoots for a suggested cash donation of $75.
100% OF THIS $75 WILL GO TO THE FAMILY!!!
Please contact me at [email protected] or 605-430-7386 to reserve your 10 minute time slot.
If you are unable to make it for a photo shoot please consider donating to their Go Fund Me page:
https://www.gofundme.com/arijohnson
I appreciate all of your help for this family and hope to see you on the 21st and 22nd!

Miss Hallie is helping me kick off the summer right!
Hallie and her family started getting their family photos taken with me
when she was a tiny 8 weeks old.
In the last three years I've taken yearly birthday and family photos, been a part of the Hayford wedding and welcomed a little brother in 2015!
It's so much fun having amazing families like hers to watch grow each year!
He made his momma and me work pretty hard to get this shoot done but we ended up with some
pretty sweet pictures of this adorable little man!
Thanks Shanna for the fun afternoon last Saturday and for always making my job so much fun.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARTER!!
We had so much fun in the studio for his one year Cake Smash shoot. (I'm pretty sure the cake was his favorite part)
Thanks so much Lisa for letting me take these special pictures for such a special boy!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISAAC!!!!
In 2009, I photographed this couple's wedding day,
hard to believe it's 6 years later and they've got a beautiful 3 year old,
Lexi and another baby girl on the way!! How time flies!!

They were staying clear of the rain downtown at the Alex Johnson and it cleared up just long enough
to step out front and get some fun shots!
Ashley Hahn was part of this group, she had her senior photos taken with me last fall at the park in Spearfish,
she is such a beautiful girl and will be graduating next month!
To the parents of this lovely group of kiddos, I will have the full set of photos edited and ready to order soon.

I had the pleasure of meeting him a week later.
He is as sweet at the day is long. It's hard to believe that almost 2 years ago I was taking his big sister's newborn photos. It's so much fun getting to see families grow and being able to capture all of the special moments that come with it, especially when it means I get to hold babies!!
Newborn shoots are always available, the best time to have these shoots done are within the first 2 weeks of baby's life. After this shoot the baby's 3, 6, 9 and 12 month photo shoots
are FREE with special disk prices.
I can't lie, it's pretty sweet, and I kinda like having a nickname from such a little sweetie!
She is turning into a beautiful young lady, both inside and out, and she LOVES to pose for the camera.
I thoroughly enjoy my photo shoots with her and her little sister.
She made her entrance in to the world 6 weeks early so our "newborn" shoot was a few weeks late, as she spent her first few weeks in the NICU. It was a blessing meeting her
and seeing her parents again after shooting their wedding last year.
I can't wait to watch this little princess grow!

He started working outside of their home not long ago and she realized that everyone in his new office had photos of their wives except for him,
she decided to change that!
We got several great shots and her husband LOVED the photos!
Boudoir sessions and sessions like this are always available!
You don't have to be in lingerie to get some GREAT shots for your hubby!!
My favorite time of the year for photo shoots.
I I had a blast on Saturday with this lovely family, on an incredible 80 degree day in MARCH.
Ryaleigh is the cutest little girl, we had so much fun hanging out.
Looking forward to more photo shoots and beautiful days like this.

Milena might be scared of Santa but she was pretty comfortable in the studio when there's no bearded man with a red suit in sight!
I cannot think of a better way I could have spent my Valentine's Day!
Thanks Lauren, for bringing the girls to see me. <3
Justynne is on an incredible journey over the next few months. She went from being a Junior in High School to a Senior overnight to graduate a year early. She has been planning for graduation, senior photo shoot, prom and everything else one needs to get in in the last year of high school,
all so that she can follow her dream of traveling and seeing the world!
Such an incredible story for an amazing young woman!
I have been trying really hard this year to give back to customers who do so much for me. I gave away $150 in free photos from a January drawing this week to Kelsey Johnson and her wonderful family. What a great photo shoot. Little Maverick didn't want much to do with photos but we were still able to get some great family photos and photos of Mr. Maverick with his grandma, grandpa and auntie.
I am looking forward to the LaFayette family photos in a couple of weeks! They won the February LOVE STORY drawing and will receive free photos as well! Their sister Krista entered them into the drawing by sharing their engagement story, it was very very sweet! Thanks to everyone who shared their stories.
March will bring another chance to win free photos, just share an Easter photo, NON-PROFESSIONAL photo taken with your own camera. Email it to [email protected] for your chance to enter the contest. I will pick my favorite Easter photo before Easter this year so the winner can get Easter photos taken before the big holiday!!
Keep posted to my Facebook page for updates on opportunities to win free photos!
Thanks again and have a fantastic March!
