Happy Family

I first heard from my sister-in-law and then my information was re-routed to Amy....my sister-in-law's sister-in-law. LOL!

Amy and her family made the trip to the in home studio where we were able to take some nice family pictures. Poor Adam.....he had just gotten a few stitches taken out not too long before the session and still had recovery marks on his super cute face....but lucky for us...the photoshop fairy sprinkled a little dust on me and I was able to make it all better. Sort of like when you give a kid a kiss on their owie....except this was done electronically. =D

Besides, how weird would that be if your photographer started kissing your child's owies. LOL...no worries, totally would NOT happen. But the visual is enough to make you chuckle a little. Hehe.

 Even though Adam wanted to stick his tongue out at me for just about every pictures...I got lucky anyhow and still caught him smiling!

They even brought along the family pet. She was so excited once we got her out of the car. She ran all over the place. So its a good thing we stopped for pictures at a rather large feild.

All in all, we were lucky that the trees sheilded us from the cool wind and that the sun was brightly shinning. I'm so happy that I was able to spend the morning with them and meet the entire family....pet included.

Family Reunion!!!

This photo shoot came together in a short time frame. Laura made contact with me only a week beforehand and asked if I was available since their entire family would be together to welcome baby Noah into the family. It had been over 2 years since the whole family got together.

I was honored to have been asked to photograph this amazing family. They are so sweet and you can tell there was no sibling rivalries.

Below is Grandpa and Grandma followed by pictures of their children and grandchildren.

 Here are the kiddos!

Thank yo so much, it was fun and I am so happy that we were able to pull this off before the holidays.

Enjoy!!

Victoria & Nick Engaged

One of the last colorful days this year and we were lucky that it did not rain on us ;)

Big congrats to this couple. Both so full of life and so open to new and modern ideas. Victoria is a good friend of Ly's and I was so fortunate to finally meet her in person and be a part of their engagement session.

Victoria has so much style and was more than prepared for the shoot. This made things so fun and always changing.

We started in downtown Milwaukee....big oppsy though. The holiday parade was almost starting and we were stranded on a blocked street. Yikes!  We did finally get out of all the craziness and linked up with our couple at Milwaukee Public Market. After that, it was smooth sailing!

Victoria and Nick, we are so happy that we were given the opportunity to capture these beginning moments for you. Many congrats and the best to you both as you head towards wedding bells!

Fun with bows

What a cutie.....this little man is going to break hearts as he grows up. Thank you to Carly for bringing Landon over for a shoot.
I'm so thankful to have found Carly and am very excited to photograph her wedding in June.
Until then, here's to the little man...celebrating 9 months of being a little bachelor ;)

Savannah & Matt

Congrats to Savannah and Matt. These two are such a great couple. They came out into the cold and even weathered the wind for us. It's amazing that April is so quickly approaching and wedding bells are soon in the air. We are very excited for your wedding day. Can't wait. Congrats!

Welcome Two Sweet Baby Girls!

I have been obsessed with newborn and babies in general ever since I was a little girl.  That obsession has not changed now that I'm a big girl.  I was so fortunate to meet 2 families with their first family addition over a week ago:  baby Samantha and baby Arianna.  With mom and dad right by their side, they showed me a lot of personality.  Somewhere between their sleepy, playful, happy, and "I need to go to the bathroom" mode (lol, yes, it happens when they get cold), I was able to capture some precious moments.  Thank you for sharing your day with me and for letting me hold your bundle of joy.  I look forward to seeing them soon!
