Sweet Baby Cameron

Not only did I have the privilege of photographing this adorable baby boy, but I will also get to photograph his parents getting married in August.
I was so excited when I heard about little Cameron and even more so when I saw this adorable little boy. He was such a good sport and so easy to work with, especially when he was sleeping. :)

Enjoy your sneak peek and Happy Holidays!







How adorable are little bottoms!!!

Brave, Brave Souls!

I held my first round of Mini-photo sessions for the Holidays and two families were brave enough to venture the cold weather. We all met at the Burke park right outside of Sun Prairie and Buurrrr...it was a cold one!
The first family had four courageous kids who actually took off their coats for some photos and they did it with no complaints. I was very impressed!
The second family was a friend of mine and her two little girls.

I am so grateful for all of you who came out and joined me in the wonderful weather, next year, I will plan it in October. ;)

Enjoy your sneak peek everyone and THANK YOU again!!!





I have to laugh at this one! Kids will be kids :)

I met with the Jaffett family at Olbrich Gardens in Madison, WI. Yes, I know, this seems to be where all of my photos are taking place lately.

As soon as I saw this family, I knew it was going to be an easy session. What a gorgeous family! Not to mention, their adorable children (Maxwell & Zoe) were naturals when it came to the camera. It made my job very easy!!!

It was great working with all of you and enjoy your sneak peek!





There is so much LOVE in this photo...what a cute couple! :)


Maxwell was a pro when it came to the camera!


Not too bad for an Army Ranger

“She had the round face, the curly hair and the big blue eyes. She was the Campbell's kid.”

I have to laugh at the quote I chose for this family. It was beyond perfect and I am pretty sure it was written exactly for this family and their beautiful daughter, Sophie. I found the above quote while searching Google for blue-eyed children and this is what it came up with for the Campbells. PERFECT eh?
I met with the Campbell family at Olbrich Gardens in Madison, WI. I believe I am starting to fall in love with this place for photographs. Plus, when you have a family as good looking as this one, you can't go wrong!
Little Sophie was a charm to work with. Her big, beautiful, blue eyes, and her blonde hair made for some great photos. At one point Sophie even begged for me to pick her up, what a CUTIE!!!
It was great working with all of you and I hope you enjoy Iowa! Enjoy your sneak peek...







Sophie's eyes are to die for!!!!

"Gimme a head with hair, long, beautiful hair. Shining, gleaming, streaming...

After several attempts to bring the four generations together, we finally had success on a beautiful fall day at the Rotary Gardens in Janesville, WI.
Upon arriving to the gardens, I saw Melissa (a former high school classmate of mine), her mother, grandmother, and her daughter preparing for the photoshoot. The first thing I noticed was the identical sets of gorgeous hair on Melissa and her mom.
Ava, after recently recovering from a double-ear infection seemed ready to go with her bright blue eyes and adorable smile. I have to say, Ava seemed to have a natural model's carisma with the camera.
It was the perfect day to capture all four generations and get outside to enjoy the nice weather!
I can not wait to take their Christmas photos....Enjoy the sneak peek!

There is that beautiful hair!




Look at those perfect rosy cheeks!!!

Blue Eyed Beauties....

So some of you may remember Rudy and Jillian from a few months ago. I was lucky enough to photograph Carrie and Brant's adorable, blue-eyed children once again.
This time I met them at the Olbrich Gardens in Monona, WI. I absolutely love photographing at the Olbrich Gardens. It is a gorgeous place that offers beautiful photos year round.
The last time I met with the Brown Family, Rudy gave me a run for my money but this time he was full of smiles! Jillian, now 9 months old was also a blast to work with. Of course though, kids will be kids. Jillian got a little too close to the water fountain and poor Rudy had a tough time towards the end. The best part about it though, was it made for some very realistic photos. :) I LOVED it!!!
I can not wait until the next time I get to photograph this family and see how much their kids have grown.

Enjoy your sneak peek and THANK YOU again...



It's a "love" choke hold...and check out those BLUE BLUE eyes...stunning!




This photo says a million words!


Poor Jillian :(


Three words...Three, Years, Old!

Jeff + Tricia = Married!!!

Brave, brave, brave souls Tricia and Jeff are. Jeff and Tricia were the very FIRST people to hire me as a wedding photographer and oddly enough, they were my last wedding to photograph for the year.

I could not have picked a better group of people to end my wedding year off with. Everyone was so down-to-earth, extremely easy to talk to, and I had a GREAT time with all of them.

Despite the cold and my awesome fingerless gloves, the wedding was absolutely gorgeous and the sun poked it's head out a few times.

The wedding was held at the Wilderness Golf resort in WI Dells and the reception was in the golf club. After the wedding was over, we took some outdoors photos with everyone and I have to say I have never seen a more helpful groom. We were preparing to take a photo by a small lake where the bride and groom would walk through a few weeded areas. Jeff walks ahead of Tricia, then he politely asks her to stop walking and clears her a path. Jeff then individually broke every weed that could have possibly snagged her dress, and we say chivalry is dead!

It sincerely was all my pleasure meeting the two of you and I am so happy you took a chance and hired me, knowing you were my firsts.

ENJOY your sneak peek!!!! :)


The sun finally peeked through...


It was a chilly day!




I love reflections...




Remember me saying how helpful Jeff was...






A new way of cutting the cake? :)

I met Amber and Raymond through a great friend of ours. It was back during our Platteville days. Amber’s daughter and mine used to play together too. So it was nice to be able to travel to a place filled with so many memories and familiar faces.

I met with Amber and her entire family at her parent’s farm. This house was so much fun and would be the perfect place to raise a large family. It was filled with several animals for the kids to chase around and some of the animals even joined in on the photo shoot.

What a perfect day to make the trip and photograph some old friends.
Enjoy your sneak peek!!!

My first new born session :)






Only 12 days old here!

And thank you for a house full of people I love. Amen.

What can I say about this photo-shoot? Probably, too many words so I will try to keep it short and sweet.
I was so excited when I was asked to photograph my MOST FAVORITE people in the world; my family. My brother, Steve and his family drove all the way from Milwaukee and my sister, Joni and her family came from Beloit to all meet in Sun Prairie, WI at Burke Park.
It was a gorgeous day out and perfect for some fun photographs of my siblings and their families. Plus, I even had the chance to take some challenging but adorable photos of my nephew, nieces, and my daughters. I could not have asked for a better photo-shoot. :)
So enjoy the sneak peek everyone...I Love you!!!

All of our beautiful kids together!


Kids will be kids...


Chasing down Miles...he's a quick one!
