{ Still More Summer!! }

I have a few extra minutes to spare, so here are some more summer session showcases!!

First is little 'B', I took pics of his sister back in February and was supposed to take pictures of him too, but a day before the session he fell and cut his face, so we postponed until the summer, and here he is...a little shy at first, but was totally cute in all his typical boyish behavior, i.e., boots and umbrella with the sun out, still so cute!!! ;)

Next we have the 'H' Family, who I met at Vilas Park. It was a great day for a photoshoot, with the exception of the horrible mosquitos that decided to eat us alive! The kids did great though (with the help of those wonderful goldfish crackers), ah goldfish, what would we do with out you! I just love the image of mom and dad pointing at me and smiling, while their kids both look back at them, goldfish scattered around them. It just goes to show that not every picture turns out the way I envision, but sometimes I end up with something much better!

Still more to come...

{ A Little More Summer? }

I know that the weather has turned cooler, and school has started and Christmas decorations are out in the stores, but I am still going to hold on to summer as long as I can...which is great, because I still have so many sessions from the summer to showcase!

Let's start with the 'L' Family. They were so much fun to photograph, and Big Brother was so good at listening and taking direction...can you say future model?! Little Sister ended up falling asleep, and we got some great shots right before the raindrops came.

After leaving the 'L' Family, I drove into Madison to meet the 'H' Family. Again, another wonderful family with very photogenic kids. I met them at Wingra Park, which is a place I had never had a session. I love photographing at new locations, so I was very excited to try out some new things. Thanks 'H' Family for being so willing to try new things, and get a little silly!

More summer sessions to come, stay tuned...

{ First Day of School! }

Well, it's finally happened. My little baby has grown up and become a "School-ager"!!



This week was filled with Parent Meetings, Open Houses, School Supplies, Lunch Packing, going to bed early/getting up early, more parent meetings/forms/paperwork, but in the end it was all worth it, to see my son wave good-bye to me with a smile on his face, and then be sad that its Friday, and he won't get to go to school for "2 whole days, that's a long time mommy."



I think my favorite part of this week, was when my daughter wanted to be in the pictures, and she was jumping up and down with as much excitment as her brother...I think she is not so secretly glad to have me all to her self, and even more glad to have space from a brother who constantly picks on her ;)



So begins the journey of the rest of his life!

{ 1 Year Old Friends }

Again, this session was a while ago, it was actually one of the hottest days in May. By the end of the session the babies were sweaty, red-cheeked, and done with pictures.

The mommies of the babies were really good friends, so they shared their session, and we were able to get some images of the two babies together as well.
